Academy Award-winning actor Jon Voight released a passionate message criticizing California Governor Gavin Newsom’s handling of recent protests and riots in Los Angeles. In the video, Voight accused Newsom of blaming former President Donald Trump instead of taking responsibility for the situation on the ground.
"You are a fool blaming Trump. What are you doing for this destruction…?" Voight said, calling on the governor to confront what he described as "animals and criminals trying to destroy us."
Voight praised Trump’s past response to unrest, referring to him as "the greatest President since Abraham Lincoln" and asserting that only Trump could restore order and "make this state great again."
The actor’s remarks come amid growing national tensions around protests, law enforcement, and immigration. While Voight has long been a vocal supporter of Trump, his latest message has sparked debate online, with critics calling it inflammatory and supporters echoing his concerns.
Neither Governor Newsom nor Trump have responded publicly to Voight’s latest comments.
