Jon Voight says Trump is the greatest president of this century, slams ‘radical left’ in new video message
Actor Jon Voight on Sunday, August 18, posted a video message praising Donald Trump as "the greatest president of this century".
The Academy Award-winning actor posted a clip of himself as he opened up about the "radical left" and their "hate...like a venom", the Daily Mail reported.
Voight, the father of Hollywood star and UN ambassador Angelina Jolie, has been an outspoken conservative activist for a long time. He is known for regularly sharing his conservative views on social media.
And this time around, the 80-year-old affirmed his backing for Republicans and for the plight of Israel in a video clip that was captioned as "message of peace and love."
He also said he hoped Trump would win a second term in 2020.
"This is not peace. This is not love," he said. "This is hate among the radical left. No amount of book smart will show the given policy of what truth stands for."
"Truth is a powerful emotion. Love...is what we should be voting for," Voight continued.
"And I must say that we - the Republican Party - have voted for renewal, for a place of safety, a community where all can have peace. But this is war among the left. They have hate, it's like a venom. No words of God, no words of love, but a radical emotion of hate."
The Midnight Cowboy star explained to his close to 165,000 followers how the president not only loves America but "people of all nations...and also the people of a sacred place, Israel."
"I've said this many times and I'm saying it again," the veteran actor added.
"From the deep truths of my heart and soul, President Trump is a man of truths, love, and justice for the American people and also for the people of a sacred place - Israel."
Speaking of the commander-in-chief, Voight said, "Let us pray for peace, let us pray for this country that President Trump will take on four more years of his strength, devotion, knowledge of truths. And all that doubt and have extreme anger toward President Trump, may they be shown differently, that President Trump is the greatest president of this century."
"Let us take a stand for liberty and justice for all. God bless," he concluded.
Voight grabbed headlines earlier this month after he claimed in a similar Twitter video message that racism had been "solved long ago by our forefathers for peace and love."
Before that, in May, he called Trump "the greatest president since Abraham Lincoln."
Voight's illustrious 50-year acting career has seen him deliver memorable performances in a series of movies such as Deliverance, Mission: Impossible, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, Zoolander, National Treasure, Anaconda and Transformers.
On TV, Voight has featured in Lonesome Dove and more recently in Ray Donovan and 24.
