“There are many, and by the way, they've sent me a lot of messages, a lot of people in my industry, in Hollywood, who are afraid to say publicly that they would vote for Donald Trump or be conservative in any way,” Levi said Continuation. “That’s why you don’t see them. That's why they are not very common or prominent. You know this kind of shit has consequences,” Levi said.

If you have to come out publicly and say it, if you feel like you still can't do it, then don't do it. I would never pressure you into this. But know this: If what you are afraid of is the backlash from an industry that will soon no longer exist, then don’t let that hold you back.”
