Pat Boone, singer and vocal supporter of President Trump, criticized Hollywood liberals such as actress Meryl Streep for their public opposition to Trump during award shows, according to the Daily Mail.

Boone said that Streep was “a nice woman and a very talented woman,” but reiterated his thought that an award show was not an appropriate forum for politics.

Yeah, because liberals love liberals. They don’t want – they don’t like conservatives,” he said.

In November, Boone weighed in on Trump’s presidential win: “Donald Trump’s unprecedented, emphatic win is a tremendous rebuke, a humongous […] slap to the pompous, pampered Hollywood super-rich, supercilious, super brainwashed, over privileged crowd.”
