Whoopi schools Zachary Levi on Hollywood's right-wing history after he calls his Trump support “career suicide.”

Whoopi Goldberg took some time for a history lesson on Monday's episode of “The View” after “Shazam!” Star Zachary Levi suggested his decision to support Donald Trump for president could be “career suicide.” As the ABC host explained, Hollywood has actually long been a right-wing city.

After initially supporting RFK Jr. as a presidential candidate, Levi endorsed Trump last week, lamenting during a rally that “Hollywood in my industry, as you can probably imagine, is a very, very liberal city and this is very much career suicide.” could mean.” .”

As Whoopi watched the clip, he sighed heavily before saying, “That's not necessarily true,” and criticized Levi for saying that.

“From the beginning of Hollywood, it has always been a very right-wing city. But I know you don’t know much about Hollywood history, so let me educate you,” she said. “We, like America, are mixed. We are a mixed bunch. And sometimes it seems like there are more Democrats, and sometimes it seems like there are more Republicans.”

She also disputed the idea that Levi's career could end because of his support, especially considering he is not the first actor to support the convicted felon.

“The truth is that very few people seem to get it because they are Republicans,” Whoopi said. “Jon Voight, who works. Dennis Quaid, who works. People are working – stop it. This is even more nonsense and unnecessary.”

“The View” airs weekdays at 11 a.m. ET on ABC. You can watch the full episodes on YouTube this afternoon.
