Keri Strug
The Olympic champion went back to school after winning at the 1996 games. She enrolled in UCLA and ultimately earned a masters in social psychology. In 2003, she moved to DC to become a staff assistant in the George W. Bush administration as a presidential appointee. She later appeared with fellow gymnast, Mary Lou Retton at the Republican National Convention. Ultimately, Strug moved to the US Treasury Department and in 2005, joined the US Department of Justice’s Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention.
Ellen DeGeneres
Ellen has won more People’s Choice Awards than any other person (20), which go nicely along with her 30 Emmys and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. The popular daytime talk show host has also hosted the Academy Awards, Primetime Emmys and Grammy Awards ceremonies, authored four books and starred in two different television series. While she has mostly avoided politics on her show, the forays she has made have left no question about her liberal ideas. She was a vocal advocate for same-sex marriage (which makes sense, given her own marriage to Portia de Rossi) and has said that she will not invite President Trump on her show: “He’s against everything that I stand for.”
Paul Sorvino
Paul and his wife, DeeDee have both been vocal supporters of President Trump and it’s come with a cost. According to Paul, if you work in Hollywood and don’t tow the Democrat line, you’re “out of their club”. He seems quite flustered by the emotional reactions some of his fellow actors have put on display. “I think the studio people, the business people…are a little cooler about it. But these actors, these crazy actors…they’re insane.” He considers Robert De Niro an old friend but is shocked at the actors’ vitriol. “He’s one of the greatest actors in the world, but….punch the President in the face? What are you talking about?”
