Hollywood Elites Triggered By Trump’s Win Get Roasted By Senator Kennedy [WATCH]

Republican Senator of Louisiana responded to a wave of Hollywood reactions following President-elect Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 election.

During an appearance on the “Sean Hannity Show,” Kennedy was asked specifically about actress Sharon Stone’s remarks blaming “uneducated Americans” for Trump’s success at the polls.

In his response, Kennedy made clear his thoughts on the Hollywood elites’ take on the election outcome. While his tone remained respectful, Kennedy didn’t hold back from calling out what he described as the “goofy” attitudes of those in the entertainment industry.

Kennedy pointed out that these celebrities, despite their claims of moral superiority, hold views that many across the country find out of touch.

He noted, “Here’s what I think. I think these people are goofy. They have the right to their opinion, but they’re just goofy. They hate George Washington and Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln and Dr. Seuss and Mr. Potato Head.”

Kennedy continued by mocking some of the positions taken by the Hollywood left, especially those on gender identity, saying, “They think our kids ought to be able to change genders at recess. They carry around Ziploc bags of kale to give themselves energy.”

He went on to express his personal disdain for kale, saying, “To me— to each his own. To me, kale tastes like I’d rather be fat.”

Further emphasizing his point, Kennedy added, “These people are entitled to their opinion, but they have an unwarranted sense of moral and intellectual superiority. They think they’re smarter and more virtuous than the American people. And they think we’re not real people. But we were, and we are real people.”

Kennedy’s remarks came amid a growing backlash from some Hollywood figures who expressed distress following Trump’s electoral win.

In the days following the election, reports surfaced that comedian Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, announced their plans to leave the United States for the United Kingdom, citing Trump’s victory as a driving factor in their decision to relocate.

Kennedy also pointed to actor and director Rob Reiner, who, like many others on the left, openly criticized Trump’s victory.

Reiner, a vocal opponent of Trump, took to social media to lament the result of the election. On X (formerly Twitter), Reiner posted, “Now that America has elected a Convicted Felon with Authoritarian proclivities, I fear that Democracy’s return won’t be any time soon. The long-term solutions are daunting. Democrats need to re adopt the 50 state strategy. And most importantly, a competitive information distribution system must be built to combat the massive disinformation currently being fed to the American people.”

It is worth noting that Rob Reiner’s X account no longer exists:

Kennedy responded to the outcry from the left by reminding his audience of the message the American people sent through their votes in the recent election.

He emphasized the frustration that led to the election outcome, stating, “In this last election, we got real mad, and we sent a message, clearly, unequivocally.”

He finished his statement with a lighthearted yet pointed message to both his supporters and critics alike: “My message to all my friends and my enemies in America is: Happy Thanksgiving, and stay deplorable, my friend.”

Kennedy’s comments are part of the ongoing cultural battle that has intensified in the wake of Trump’s victory.

While many on the left continue to voice their opposition, Kennedy and others on the right have doubled down in their support for Trump and his policies, emphasizing the importance of standing firm against what they perceive as elitist, left-leaning narratives.

With Hollywood figures like Stone, DeGeneres, and Reiner publicly voicing their dissatisfaction, and with the continued debates about Trump’s presidency, the divide between the political left and right remains as wide as ever.

The 2024 election has only intensified these tensions, with many seeing the ongoing resistance as further proof of the ideological battles that continue to play out on the national stage.
