Zoe Saldana: Hollywood bullied Trump
Yahoo AFP ^ | January 13, 2017

It isn't an opinion heard frequently in the famously liberal Hollywood, but sci-fi queen Zoe Saldana has spoken out against the acting community for bullying abrasive Donald Trump.

The "Star Trek," "Avatar" and "Guardians of the Galaxy" star -- who is not a supporter of the Republican president-elect -- believes insults flung at him during the race for the White House turned off much of middle America. "We got cocky and became arrogant and we also became bullies," the 38-year-old actress said of Trump, who has been frequently berated himself for bullying tactics, including seemingly mocking a reporter with disabilities. "We were trying to single out a man for all these things he was doing wrong... and that created empathy in a big group of people in America that felt bad for him and that are believing in his promises."

No one bullied Trump, and he was not "seemingly mocking" People did not support Trump out of empathy, but thanks for admitting to being cocky & arrogant.

You know if Hillary won, she’d be right alongside the rest of Hellwood dumping on Trump.

You know ... when an earth-girl says “it’s me not you”, it’s definitely you.

Linda Bean, on Fox and Friends, called the left "bullies" for their treatment of her company. We should all use the term when they are bullies, which is often, until the term sticks.

Their well-organized plans to disrupt the inauguration, especially to blockade the security entrances to the mall, is all about bullying.

Asking an actor about politics and current events is akin to asking a kindergarten teacher about neurosurgery.

And there are still DUmmies who believe Obama's broken promises.

Anyone saving 2500 on their annual medical insurance costs yet???

The curse of identity politics is that these people don’t understand we voted for policies, not the individual.

Yes their planned disruption in D.C. is bullying behavior against everyone attending. That term needs to be used like a hammer against the protestors and their supporters. Free speech does not include bullying actions. Bullying and intimidation should be pointed out.

Some Hollywoodites sense where the wind is blowing and are changing their tune.

The left/Hollywood have a long history of being bullies to Republicans-conservatives so they really are projecting. Their problem now is that Trump hits back very effectively. They are used to intimidating.
