That’s the consistent sentiment veteran entertainment journalist Richard Rushfield says he’s getting from industry power players. “A better description of Hollywood’s opposition mobilization would be ‘MIA’ or ‘non-existent.’ ‘Totally invisible’ also works,” Rushfield writes in The Ankler, the slick inside-Hollywood newsletter he helps helm.
He points to the dearth of Democrat fundraisers, for instance. Those high-dollar soirees should be a regular occurrence after an off-year election spring and summer in which candidates are finally being fielded for races needing funding for a litany of campaign operations. They just aren’t happening.
It’s not as if high-stakes political machines aren’t humming in Hollywood. The California governor’s race has been in full-swing for months, with major, opinion-swaying polls dropping almost daily.
One Hollywood titan making massive political waves? Former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R), who’s challenging current California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s (D) plan to redraw the Golden States’s congressional map. The Terminator star called Newsom’s plan “evil.” Newsom fired back this week by touting the endorsement of his plan by none other than Bernie Bro and Schwarzenegger’s Twins co-star Danny DeVito.
No offense to DeVito, his backing Newsom’s plan is a drop compared to what should be a tsunami of celebrity opposition to President Donald Trump and his Republican Party’s political agenda.
