Jeffrey Katzenberg Pens Open Letter to Hollywood After Trump Victory
The Hollywood Reporter ^ | 11/16/16 | Jeffrey Katzenberg

Posted on 11/16/2016 7:37:01 AM PST by SoFloFreeper

As for many of you, last Tuesday was a very bad day for me....

Is our next president a demagogue or democrat?

...I have been involved in politics for more than 50 years, and this is certainly not the first time I've been on the losing end. It always hurts. And this one maybe hurts more than the rest — partly because we didn't really lose. Our side got more popular votes, while Trump received fewer votes than Mitt Romney or John McCain.

...The Founding Fathers provided tools to combat the demagogues they knew might come along. We merely need to steadfastly take advantage of these tools, by making our 61 million-plus voices forcefully heard in the Congress, in the Senate, in the courts and peacefully on the streets.

And no one should be more motivated to utilize these tools than we who work in the creative industries that stretch from Hollywood to Silicon Valley and beyond. Ours is a community that prizes openness, respect and tolerance. The basis of our industries is freedom of expression. We must make clear to President-elect Trump that it is vitally important he support these values.

Trump received fewer votes than Mitt Romney or John McCain.

KATZENBERG IS A LIAR.

According to Katzenberg's fellow TRUMP HATERS, Politico, Romney received 59,134,475 votes.

PRESIDENT-ELECT Trump is already over 60,000,000 votes.

And, according to Katzenberg's fellow TRUMP HATERS, the NY Slimes, John McCain received 58,319,442 votes.

Katzenberg is also a SORE loser.
He SHOULD say:
1. CONGRATULATIONS to the GOP as they not only won the presidency but BOTH houses of Congress as well.
2. We [Democrats] BLEW it.

It warms, ah say, warms the cockles of mah heart. [Foghorn Leghorn]

Had to LOL. Hollywood idiots believe in openness, tolerance, respect, freedom of expression????

From what I see, Hollywood idiots believe the opposite of all of this. They believe in liberalism and liberalism only; contrasting points of view are not permitted.

“Is our next president a demagogue or democrat?”

So, your either one or the other, no other choices?....well, that’s certainly open-minded. /s/

“Your community” values propaganda and subversion.
Your claims of “openness” and “inclusion” are all lies.

Still, it is fun to see these Fascists discover the Constitution when it suits them.

The Katz lies??

Really?

Shocked, yes shocked, that there is lying going on in Hollywood.

And...the fact that it finds a way into mainstream print is oh so mild boggling.

A demagogue or a Democrat. It is as they say, a distinction without a difference.

“I have no clue who this is.”

Exactly. Let these morons keep deluding themselves. That’s how Trump won.

I was just going to post this, Thanks,

“Ours is a community that prizes openness, respect and tolerance. The basis of our industries is freedom of expression. We must make clear to President-elect Trump that it is vitally important he support these”

Jeffrey, as always and as expected you ARE LYING TO THE WORLD.

HOLLYWOOD as an Institution is the MOST RACIST, INTOLERANT, HATEFUL group People on the Planet. If ANYONE even makes a Joke about Homosexuals,Women,Feminists,Muslims,Transgenders,... They are IMMEDIATELY FIRED AND BLACKBALLED only to NEVER work in Hollywood again.

DOn’t get me wrong, Hollywood Loves Latinos and Blacks as long as they KNOW THEIR PLACE, But they NEVER have and NEVER will treat them as an equal human being.

YES JEFFREY, You are right at the Top of the list with Cameron, I don’t see Geffen and Spielberg sticking their necks out, so you are the Worlds Foremost RACIST PIG!

I personally do not know anyone that patronizes Movies anymore, I can only hope and pray that the 60 Million plus Voters for Donald Trump start to see through your Marxist Ideals and STOP PATRONIZING HOLLYWOOD AND THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY AS A WHOLE.

JEFFREY YOU ARE A LYING POS

These people seem so desperate that’s it makes one wonder if they too are involved in the child sex slave ring that the powerful elites in Washington have going.

This is from a industry that moved to west to avoid paying royalties/fees to inventor Edison.

the first thieves of intellectual property.

and now they are trying to impose their will via corrupt Congress and courts.

I think it’s amazing how leftists, who hate everything this country stands for, will suddenly don a tri-cornered hat and begin (mis) quoting the Founders when they think it serves their selfish purposes. It’s even more amazing that they apparently think people will buy it.

Not so amazing in the case of Hollyweird. People still buy their other junk.

During the election, Donald Trump found facts inconvenient. But facts are very useful things. They lead to truth. For example, here is Webster's definition of "demagogue": "a leader who makes use of popular prejudices and false claims and promises in order to gain power." The truth is that this is what we have witnessed during the past year.

libtards live in a bubble of stupidity and foolishness
