George Clooney made his political proclivities known in an open
letter that pointedly bashed Republican front-runner Donald
Trump.
The Hillary Clinton campaign emailed Clooney's letter to
supporters on Monday, in which he called for voters to rally
behind the Democratic presidential hopeful and her "voice of
tolerance and experience." The actor-activist and his wife,
Amal, a human-rights lawyer, are hosting a fundraiser for
Clinton at their Los Angeles home next month.
The Oscar-winning producer didn't actually use Trump's name in
the letter but referenced the billionaire's inflammatory
campaign rhetoric and slogan.
"If you listen to the loudest voices out there today, you'd
think we're a country that hates Mexicans, hates Muslims and
thinks that committing war crimes is the best way to make
America great again," he wrote. "The truth is that the only
thing that would prevent America from being great would be to
empower these voices."
Clooney's words come on the heels of him dubbing Trump an
"opportunist" and a "xenophobic fascist" in an interview with
the Guardian earlier this month.
