ennifer Lawrence said it was “disgusting” how Hillary Clinton attacked President Trump
supporters and admitted it is “not wise” for celebrities to speak about politics because
it hurts their careers.
“The Democrats made a huge mistake by chastising the Trump supporters, and that was disgusting
to me,” the Oscar-winning actress said in an interview with Vanity Fair in its March
issue.
“Of course they’re not going to vote for Hillary Clinton; they’re going to vote for
Donald Trump.
You laughed at them when their plight is very real,” she said.
Lawrence, who supported Clinton during the 2016 presidential election, said Trump was
“a big powerful man in a nice suit, pointing at you and going, ‘I’m going to make you
rich.’
It’s so appealing.”
But the outspoken actress admitted that wading into politics is not the best path for celebrities
to take.
“I’ve always thought that it was a good idea to stay out of politics,” Lawrence
told the magazine.
“Twenty-five percent of America identifies as liberal and I need more than 25 percent
of America to go see my movies.
It’s not wise, career-speaking, to talk about politics,” she said, but added that
“When Donald Trump got sworn into office, that f-----g changed.”
