‘Modern Family’ Star Ed O’Neill Returning Honorary Degree in Protest of Youngstown State University GOP President Hire
Breitbart ^ | 02/07/2024 | ALANA MASTRANGELO

ABC’s Modern Family actor Ed O’Neill says he plans to give back his honorary doctorate degree to Youngstown State University in protest of the school hiring former Republican congressman Bill Johnson as its new president.

“I was so disappointed when I heard about this decision,” O’Neill told MSNBC. “He’s a polarizing guy, an election denier. He’s not the biggest fan of the gay community. He’s anti-choice. He’s just a polarizing, far right-wing fanatical guy.”

O’Neill, who is from Youngstown, Ohio, also criticized Johnson for supporting former President Donald Trump after the 45th president was indicted, saying, “It’s crazy.”

Ed pretends to be a BJJ black belt. Guaranteed at 65 I could beat him anytime, anyplace.

Considering his politics, I’m surprised Tim Allen has had the success he has in Hollywood.

Agreed.
Dude played college football (linebacker) and was a bar bouncer before taking up theater. He had seen enough reality (I thought) to stay away from Koolade.

He is smart enough to signal things to folks that could cast him in another sit-com though. Sad to think of Psycho Dad’s biggest fan being or sounding like a weak minded proggie...

Awwww, so cute when starts who got their break playing characters who are abhorrent to the left, object to the “right wing.”

Cancel culture Al, should you be cancelled for playing a guy who constantly made jokes about fat women? How dare you accept such a role.

I just recently went back and watched Tim Allen’s stand-up specials. I hadn’t laughed so hard in a long time. But it also pointed out just how much our culture has changed since then, and not for the better.

I’ve heard O’Neill spout off about his “Progressive” politics several times on social media. He once attacked some other organization that honored him because they invited Trump to speak. He’s a down the line Dem Party apparatchik - disassociate with any organization that remotely affiliates with a GOP officeholder.

Most actors and musicians are libs, it’s their universe. It’s like college professors.

In one episode of the Mary Tyler Moore Show, Tex Baxter gets an honorary degree...and wants everyone to call him "doctor." Shades of Jill Biden.

But from what I have read, the actor who played Ted Baxter was a fine person and a veteran.
