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.”

“our culture has changed since then, and not for the better”
And it’s gonna get worse before it gets better......IF it ever gets better that is.
“a polarizing guy”... I think Ed. O’Neill needs to look in the mirror...
Give him a break. He’s a shoe salesman. :-)
Might be virtue signaling or he is true leftist believer. Either way he’s a schmuck.
The actress who played Marcie is a lesbian, and she said she didn’t invite him to her wedding, because she thought he was anti-gay.
She was pretty attractive the first few seasons, before she butched up.
There was a time when these people just shut their pie holes and acted.
I never watched the show.
Honorary degrees are worth the effort put into them.
hillary clinton and stacey abrams are also “election deniers”
Just one more Hollywierdo attempting to be relevant in his old age.
Ed O’Neill, what a F*CKING retard. Honorary Degree? He admitted that he NEVER actually graduated from YSU. Ed if you don’t want the degree, how about just wiping your dumb ass with it because an honorary degree has about the same usefulness as toilet paper.
As for Johnson, just don’t F*CK it up. You only got that job because you kissed the collective asses of the board of regents and Gov DeWhinner and they “appointed” anointed you as president.
Looks like time to yell at the Alumni Association again!!!
There’s a reason why at one time entertainers were considered to be the lowest rung of society.
I’m pretty sure that Ed will learn that it’s quite unlikely that any other school of “higher learning” it even considering awarding him an honorary degree. Just sayin . . .
Ed who?
an actor soured by the choice of hire by a college that honored him with a fake degree returns that same fake degree.
Which is considered the larger fraudulent action?
I am to become concerned, why?
He must be having problem getting new acting gigs. I very public progressive statement will help him.
I never heard of this guy, and I want to keep it that way. Not worth my time.
Carnival people.
The role he played as Al Bundy would have been a conservative. But in real life he’s a moron who acts.
Well said.
