John Voight is angry with Robert De Niro.
"Midnight Cowboy" star Voight, who has supported several Republican politicians over the years, said on Twitter that Trump's remarks to "Access Hollywood" host Billy Bush in 2005 "were not as damaging as Robert DeNiro’s [sic] ugly rant. Trump’s words did not hurt anyone."
Voight also said of the recorded comments, which were first disclosed by The Washington Post Friday, "I don’t know of too many men who haven’t expressed some sort of similar sexual terms toward women, especially in their younger years."
In 2005, when Donald Trump made these remarks that demeaned women who had done nothing to deserve such disrespect, he was 59 years old.
Trump’s words and actions hurt every woman who has been cat-called, groped by a stranger on the subway, pressured to have sex by the date who thinks he’s owed because he bought her dinner — and on and on and on — all the thousands of ways that some men make women feel scared and ashamed and angry and LESS.
I don’t think Robert De Niro’s comment was appropriate, but I know exactly how he feels, because I am angry with Jon Voight.
