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.'

Many, many years ago, my Sister knew one of his backup singers. I went to the concert at Blossom Music Center, and met his daughter. Fell instantly in love!
Well of course it’s Arthur Godfrey, but I had forgotten their working together.
My favorite Boone song is "Friendly Persuasion" which is also a terrific movie starring Gary Cooper.
YES! We *oldsters* lived through some terrific times!
Pat Boone has always been a gift to this country. I would love to see President Trump invite him to the White House as a guest entertainer or just a guest to enjoy the experience.
Pat Boone is part of the recipe of that Great America that Donald Trump has been talking about.
We went to one of his concerts last year in TN, and met him. Even at his age he put on a great show which actually was more narrative than singing.
I was surprised when he said he’d written the lyrics for the theme of “Exodus” — “This Land Is Mine”.
His Christian testimony is strong, and the life/love story with his wife is very sweet.
Never much cared for Boone, thought his schtick was opportunistic upon basic rock and roll....in the same vein what velveeta is to cheddar cheese
Streep has played a few folks who are way above her station - she forgets she is the paste that masquerades as the real gems....
BUMP!
Yes.
Pat Boone - happy man.
He’s always had it right.
God and family.
God bless him!
My favorite is “April Love.” Every time Imhear it, I’m transported back in time to the 1950s.
