Rosie O’Donnell, Amy Schumer, Miley Cyrus and George Clooney are part of a group of celebrities calling for a total Hollywood strike “until Trump resigns”.
A group of liberal Hollywood celebrities are threatening a “massive, all-round Hollywood strike” unless Donald Trump resigns. Describing Hollywood as “the base of the entire modern American culture“, the group also claims to be speaking on behalf of “all of humanity.”
“It’s about time people understood that we’re the ones with the power and that the president is there to serve us, not the other way around“, a spokesperson for the group told The New York Times.
“We’re calling for a general strike that would include every single person involved in making motion pictures in Hollywood, starting with the actors and celebrities themselves and encompassing companies in charge of making props, movie memorabilia and even souvenir shops.”
Spinzon reports: Rosie O’Donnell, Debra Messing, Ed Asner and Michael Shannon are among the dozens of artists, entertainers, and activists who have attached their names to an effort calling for a month-long protest to stop President-elect Donald Trump.
“No! In the Name of Humanity We Refuse to Accept a Fascist America!” reads a full-page ad placed in the New York Times on Wednesday by the group Refuse Racism. “Donald Trump, the President-elect, is assembling a regime of grave danger,” the ad says.
“Millions of people in the US and around the world are filled with deep anxiety, fear and disgust. Our anguish is right and just. Our anger must now become massive resistance – before Donald Trump is inaugurated and has the full reins of power in his hands.”
Other Hollywood celebrities who have also joined the campaign, however, are calling for an all-out strike that would span the entire movie industry in the hopes that such a move would urge the President-elect to resign from his position as the newly elected President of the United States.
“We’re calling for a general strike that would include every single person involved in making motion pictures in Hollywood, starting with the actors and celebrities themselves and encompassing companies in charge of making props, movie memorabilia and even souvenir shops,” a spokesperson for the Refuse Racism group told The New York Times. “It’s about time people understood that we’re the ones with the power and that the president is there to serve us, not the other way around.”
Who dafuq would miss them????
This is an oscar Wilde moment. “The only thing worse than being talked about, is not being talked about.” This to ensure that they get their faces in the press and make noise enough to get publicity as thier influence is in the negative.
So the narsissistic, spoiled moon children will wait in thier Malabu homes with thier fat bank accounts while the lowly backlot industry workers have no funds to feed thier families? Quite caring of them, what?
YAY!
This is as likely as them all moving to Canada but it sure would be nice if they would do it.
Is this the Onion? It’s time they realize we are the ones with power and he is there to serve us? Really??
I’m going to tell all my super-lib musician friends they should do this too.
More gigs for the rest of us!
I wanna know why they’re already not out there carrying picket signs, times a waisting.
Good.
News as this would even make grumpy cat smile.
Fine, let em strike. But one thing I will say, and this coming from the standpoint of Christian end times, in their one statement, “the base of the entire modern American culture,” they are pretty much correct for a large voting block, and that’s why God’s judgment still looms over the USA, and the world.
Best thing that could happen to our country.
No more remakes. We’ll have to settle for watching originals.
Reagan testified before Congress in 1947 about Hollywood Communism, nothing new here.
Please do indeed I bet their egos wouldn’t allow it to happen.
I can’t recall a single movie I’ve paid to see in the theater made by any of those folks. Thus I won’t miss them if they go out on strike. As for Asner, he didn’t have to act, he just played himself, a complete jerk, in the Mary Tyler Moore show.
There are going to be strikes all over. Stay strong!
Does this strike include porno?
Not gonna miss the carney folk one bit.
