Sopranos star Drea de Matteo criticized Hollywood’s reaction to the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, stating that the political left doesn’t show “even one undertone of peace,” despite branding itself as the party of “inclusivity, love, and peace.”
“Everybody has their right to their opinion, and they have freedom of speech, so here we are,” de Matteo said.
“But — I’m a liberal. I’m a liberal who does not understand how the left has become so rebellious with not one undertone of peace, love, harmony, compassion,” she added.
“They’re supposed to be the Party of inclusivity, of love, of peace, and all of a sudden these are the rioters. These are the mean-spirited folks out there. And I don’t understand that,” the actress continued.
De Matteo then responded to a video clip of actor Jack Black’s band, Tenacious D, mocking President Trump just a day after he survived an assassination attempt. In the clip, a band member shouted, “Don’t miss Trump next time.”
“It wasn’t so much that I was opposed to them saying anything. I think it was more jarring to hear an audience cheer, and to hear a portion of America be on board with death. And that, I don’t understand,” de Matteo said.
“Say what you want about Trump, and I understand that a lot of people have Trump Derangement Syndrome — I was one of them — but people can change, and it’s not that Trump changed. I changed. I did my research, and I paid more attention to what was going on,” she added.
As previously reported, President Trump survived an assassination attempt on July 13 during his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. For nearly a decade, he has been labeled a dictator and a fascist by left-wing activists, the mainstream media, and members of the Democratic Party, as well as celebrities who have openly fantasized about his death.
Additionally, just two weeks before the assassination attempt, left-wing activists and celebrities openly urged President Joe Biden to assassinate Trump in response to the U.S. Supreme Court’s immunity ruling.
Last month, de Matteo stated that Hollywood is full of “quiet” Trump supporters. She also questioned how much actors are being paid to publicly support President Joe Biden ahead of the November election.
“There are a lot of quiet Trump supporters,” she said. “I wonder how much these actors got paid to endorse Biden at this point. I’m curious — I wonder if De Niro got paid a locations fee, because he had to travel to the courtroom to do that.”
De Matteo was commenting on far-left, anti-Trump actor Robert De Niro, who appeared in May to give a speech outside a Manhattan courthouse where legal battles against President Trump were taking place.
