that are 'wrecking' US image around the world with anti-Trump rants
Show business legend Pat Boone has come out firing at stars who use awards season to launch rants at the US President and his policies.
Boone, 82, lambasted Meryl Streep for her Golden Globes speech in January where she denounced Donald Trump's ideology and accused him of mocking disabled reporter Serge Kovaleski in his campaign.
The Moody River singer said he feels that she refused to give Trump a 'chance,' as well as saying Hollywood shuts out conservatives and is '99% liberal,' to the detriment of the nation's image around the world.
He spoke while arriving at the 25th Annual Movieguide Awards, which celebrates faith-based and family movies.
Boone, who has enjoyed seven decades of stardom, claimed that many modern actors and actresses are destroying the industry by making 'degraded' films simply due to their liberal views.
'Now, first of all, I don’t think that award shows are the place to express some narrow political view,' he said when the subject of Streep's speech was mentioned. 'Now, it’s not narrow to her, or to most of that audience. But to most of America, who had elected a man that she detests and doesn’t wanna even give a chance to.'
Bone cited Trump's Electoral College victory and his voters' conviction that 'he’s gonna lead us into a more moral and a more economically sound and military strong life. She doesn’t wanna give him even a chance, and she was acting like he was all but criminal and depraved. And, course, she got a big hand for it.'

Pat Boone is a class act God Bless him!!!
Expect the left to call for his assassination.
Two seconds after most of them have heard his name for the first time.
Indeed.
The Democrat party is on life support. Someone will soon have to pull the plug.
Liberals call for everyone who they disagree with to be assassinated..I doubt Pat Boone gives a darn about what those morons think or say about him
Pat Boone is aging so gracefully. A very nice looking man to this day.
Conservatives tend to age more gracefully than liberals, I think.
His good words are certainly agreeable and appreciated by me, but I’m almost old enough to know who he is.
Doubtful he has any clout among anyone outside the geriatric set.
“’I’ll give you a very simple answer: I don’t care. I genuinely, in my heart, do not care if I ever work again. I don’t care.”
The joy of being 82, and being smart enough to have diversified decades ago. lol
It's called "Having FU money."
Pat Boone heard that nothing can kill him, so he tracked down nothing and killed it.
He can finish a gallon jug of milk in four seconds.
Using a fork.
He can sing Rootie Tootie in 94 languages, including Latin.
At this moment, I can’t help not thinking about Glen Campbell. Blessings for Pat & Glen.
My husband has taken to listening to 50’s music as of late ( I have always loved it). He came home from work the other day and told me to listen to this song and he told me I would be shocked at who was singing it. The son was “Speedy Gonzales” and it is super funny and Pat Boone was the singer.
We laughed at the lyrics and thought if this song came out today it would deemed racist. I love older music the music from today pales in comparison.
Pat Boone used to lead singing in our church. Always pitched the songs too low. Never forgave him for that.
Of course, I’m kidding. I admire the way he has maintained a consistent kind and reverent attitude over many years.
