Actor and producer Isaiah Washington, who famously joined the anti-Democratic Party #WalkAway movement earlier this year, said Monday that closeted conservatives in Hollywood are “cowards” for not voicing their beliefs out of fear of being blacklisted. “I have a message for the Hollywood Actors DM’ing me and revealing that you’re Conservatives,” wrote Mr. Washington, best known for his roles in the CW’s “The 100” and ABC’s “Grey’s Anatomy.” “Don’t DM me again, because you all are lame and I don’t respond well to hypocrites or cowards,” he wrote. “You’re no different than the bystander that is waiting on the blood to spill from a martyr.” Conservative actors, including Nick Searcy, Dean Cain and Kristy Swanson, praised the tweet. Mr. Washington, a Green Party supporter, made headlines earlier this year after he joined Brandon Straka’s #WalkAway movement, which encourages people to leave the Democratic Party. Mr. Washington told Ben Shapiro’s The Daily Wire in April that he joined the movement “to support those who are just doing everything they can to stand on their own and say, ‘I don’t think this way.’ “ “I’m willing to have a town hall and I’m willing to have a dialogue that is not filled with nonsense that I think all of us are tired of, and even more tired of being used and exploited to pit our differences against one another,” the actor said at the time, days before he participated in a #WalkAway town hall in Los Angeles with Joy Villa, Jesse Lee Peterson, Angela King and Major Williams.

Yah, he wants some credit for sticking his thumb in
the Democrat party eye for being farther to the left?
I don’t get this at all. Also, I don’t get this
at all.

Isaiah Washington is wrong. If our people out themselves they’ll be picked off easily.

It’s time to set up an underground network of conservatives in professions liberals have taken over. Today liberals fire our people - tomorrow they will be putting them in front of firing squads. Commies murder - they don’t put up with diversity of thought...

[GOPJ]

You’re right. Commies don’t ‘out’ themselves because they know if we can identify them we can limit their damage.

We are in a war with home grown commies... and we can’t afford to be stupid.

Gutsy.

my Mother lost her job as an au pair in 1938 Germany because she wouldn’t join the Nazi party.
Those who never learn history etc etc etc.

There was a reboot of The Bionic Woman about 12 years ago. Washington played an important recurring role in that series and was quite good. I think it was around that time he became a Hollywood pariah for using the word "faggot".

I know nothing about Washington, but it sounds as if he said the word once in anger during an argument (?). He does play those scary roles pretty convincingly, though. lol Maybe his real-life anger is pretty scary, too. lol

Comedian Dave Chappelle has a new special, and he made an interesting observation...

It is one thing for him not to support Dems. It is another to call out conservatives as cowards when he isn’t actually risking anything.
