Left Wing ‘Resist’ Libs From Hollywood Line Up Behind Eric Swalwell’s Bid for Governor in California
Rep. Eric Swalwell’s bid for governor of California is being supported by a ‘who’s who’ list of Hollywood’s most insufferable left wing celebrities.
It’s rather telling that these are the people who want him to lead the state, even after legitimate questions have been raised about him not even being qualified to be in the race.
His involvement with a supposed Chinese spy should be disqualifying enough on its own.
The liberal celebrities who are backing him just don’t seem to care.
The New York Post reports:
Sean Penn, Robert De Niro lead Hollywood A-listers lining up behind lefty Eric Swalwell’s bid for California governor
Hollywood’s woke donor class has a new favorite: Eric Swalwell.
The lefty congressman has raked in more than $100,000 from entertainment industry donors as he eyes a run for California governor, The California Post has learned.
Democrat Swalwell, whose district in the East Bay is a few hundred miles north of Los Angeles, has hauled in the most money from entertainment industry players among hopefuls to replace term-limited Gov. Gavin Newsom this year, a Post review of campaign records shows.
Donors included “One Battle After Another” star Sean Penn, who tossed $15,000 into Swalwell’s campaign coffers, the records show.
A-list actors Robert De Niro and Jon Hamm pitched in $10,000 apiece, as did “Two and a Half Men” star Jon Cryer.
The late actor and director Rob Reiner also contributed $10,000 before his tragic death.
No one is surprised by any of this.
Of course Hollywood is lining up behind Swalwell. California’s political class and its celebrity class have basically merged at this point. Regular voters are just the audience. https://t.co/NmjQdW6ldC

When the celebrities back you that's when you know Eric is the last person you want.

Celebrities in Hollywood still don’t understand that their influence on politics has the exact opposite effect that they think it does.
Even Bill Maher is now telling Hollywood to shut up about politics now. They just can’t seem to help themselves.
