Famous actor and outspoken conservative Jon Voight recently expressed that, in light of his advancing age, he is trying to spend the remaining years of his life fighting to preserve the traditional American values that seem to be perpetually under attack. In recent years, Voight has increasingly used his platform as an Oscar-award-winning actor to spread conservatism.
Voight made the remarks about his end-of-life aspirations to stand up for his beliefs during an interview with Variety. “I only have a few years left, and I want to spend them trying to save our American way of life,” he said. The actor had previously received the National Medal of Arts and the National Humanities Medal from former President Donald Trump in 2019. When asked by the outlet if he was proud about receiving the accolade, he answered, “I don’t care about all that stuff. I only have a few years left, and I want to spend them trying to save our American way of life.”
Voight emphasized the dire state of the traditional American lifestyle, saying that “it’s slipping away forever.” The award-winning actor was asked if he believed former President Donald Trump could be compared to Abraham Lincoln. Voight answered, “Absolutely. Who else has faced greater challenges and enemies since Lincoln?”
He further suggested that the assassination attempt against the Republican presidential candidate was a sign from God, noting that it had been allegedly prophesized. “There’s a prophet who predicted there was going to be an attempt on his life,” he added. “He was going to go to his knees, and during the moment he was on his knees, he was going to connect with God.”
Following the assassination attempt, where Trump miraculously walked away after a bullet was millimeters from fatally striking him, Voight called on all sides to cease with hostile, inflammatory rhetoric. “I’m very careful about what I say. But when I see the attacks on this man, I know they’re coming from a hateful, evil place,” he continued.
Voight added that he has been an ardent supporter of Donald Trump, particularly in the entertainment industry, which is known for having an overtly hostile attitude toward the former president. “I’ve been the most outspoken supporter of Donald Trump in Hollywood,” he stated. I’ve been saying he’s the answer, the only answer.”
Earlier this year, The American Tribune reported on Voight’s previous comments, in which he claimed that if Trump wins the election, he will overrule the “barbaric animals destroying our country” in passionate remarks shared on social media. “Bring back what was lost,” Voight said. We must bring back the safety of this great country. We must bring back our greatest achievements that once were blooming.”
“Let all nations bloom, let them shine. My friends, the only way, President Donald J. Trump. He and only he can take this hardship and turn it into a magnificent triumph. He can wipe out this swamp and bring glory, bring justice. And he will help save Israel and warn these enemies that they will pay the price of their injustice, for their disgraceful actions.” Voight further stated, “Justice will prevail, and peace for all nations will come to be” should Trump win the election.
Voight doubled down, “President Trump will step up to the plate of justice and overrule the barbaric animals destroying our country, the USA, and destroying the beautiful, sacred land, the walls of many prayers, the soil of Moses, who said, ‘Let my people go.’” Watch Voight’s monologue below:
