— Antonio Sabàto Jr: Supporting Trump got me blacklisted – JUDY KURTZ
(DIERSEN: Who blacklists Trump-supporters in your neighborhood, in your precinct,
in your municipal district, in your municipality, in your township, and in your
county? By definition, blacklisters have lots of religious, government,
political, and/or financial clout. I should write a book about the blacklisters
in my precinct, in Wheaton’s West District, in Wheaton, in Milton Township, and
in DuPage County. I would focus on blacklisters who paint themselves as being
religious, conservative, and/or Republican.)
https://thehill.com/blogs/in-the-know/in-the-know/485922-antonio-sabato-jr-backing-trump-got-me-blacklisted
(FROM THE ARTICLE:
Antonio Sabàto Jr. says he’s working construction after being “blacklisted”
by Hollywood for his support of President Trump. “All my representatives
left me, from agents to managers to commercial agents. I literally had to move,
find a new job to survive and take care of my kids,” the former Calvin
Klein model said in an interview this week with Variety. “It’s been
terrible. It’s mind-blowing. It’s a disgrace. It’s tough, because if you’re in
that environment in Hollywood and you have something to say that they don’t
like, they’re going to let you know,” Sabàto said. The 48-year-old former
“Melrose Place” actor was one of a handful of entertainers to vocally
support Trump’s 2016 White House bid, and spoke at that year’s Republican
National Convention. “I was the first celebrity to come out and talk about the
president, and he had my vote from day one,” Sabàto told the magazine. But
after Trump won office, Sabàto says his job offers in the entertainment
industry dried up, forcing him to pack up and move to Florida for construction
work. “I go on the job at two in the morning, and I’m making sure that the job
is controlled and supervised by me. I’m in the car all day, driving, going
through all the sites. Five days a week, nonstop,” he explained. The
one-time GOP House candidate — Sabàto lost a 2018 bid to unseat Rep. Julia Brownley
(D-Calif.) — claims other pro-Trump performers are reluctant to publicly
vocalize their support for the commander in chief. “I know a lot of actors who
are lying about who they’re going to vote for because they don’t want the
crap,” Sabàto said. “They won’t want to be talked about and fired from movie
sets. This is serious.” “The reality is the power that makes movies happen in
Hollywood — casting directors, producers, executive producers, directors —
they’re all liberal,” said Sabàto, while also noting he’ll vote for
Trump’s reelection in November. “They hate anyone or anything who supports
this president.”)
