If Trump’s Walk of Fame star goes, others should follow

Hollywood hates Donald Trump so much it doesn’t consider him worth walking on. That’s fine, but how about a little less preening and lot more consistency?

The West Hollywood City Council unanimously passed a resolution seeking to remove Trump’s star from the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

It’s a purely symbolic gesture, since the Walk of Fame is in the City of Los Angeles and is run by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. But the West Hollywood types weren’t going to let such details get in way of some good virtue signaling.

The resolution cited Trump’s “disturbing treatment of women and other actions.”

You want disturbing treatment of women? Two words:

Bill Cosby.

Trump certainly has never been Husband of the Year material, but at least he hasn’t been convicted of drugging and sexually assaulting women.

For some reason, the city fathers of West Hollywood didn’t vote to have Cosby’s star removed. I’d say they were just busy trying to criminalize the possession of plastic straws, but they also missed the star right next to Trump’s.

It belongs to Kevin Spacey, last seen moving to the North Pole after about 15 men accused him of improper sexual advances. One of them was 14 when the incident allegedly occurred....

“The West Hollywood City Council did not pass the resolution because Donald Trump is a conservative or a Republican,” said West Hollywood Mayor Pro Tem John D’Amico in a statement to The Wrap. “Earning a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is an honor. When one belittles and attacks minorities, immigrants, people with disabilities or women — the honor no longer exists.”
