Voight issued the following statement exclusively to Breitbart
News:
It is
true that we Americans have been part of Donald Trump’s life for many years. We
were part of his weddings. We were there to see all his children’s births. We
were part of his great shows: Miss Universe, The
Apprentice — and all know, without a doubt, his life has been
an open book.
I, Jon
Voight, can say, without hesitation, that Donald is funny, playful, and
colorful, but most of all, he is honest. When he decided to run for president,
I know he did it with a true conviction to bring this country back to
prosperity. He is the only one who can do it. No frills, no fuss, only candid
truths.
There are
many Republicans fighting to keep him from winning the Republican nomination.
You know why? Because he has no bull to sell, and everyone will discover the
bull most politicians spew out is for their own causes and benefits. They never
dreamed they would be losing control.
I am very
disappointed at the talk show hosts, also spewing out lies and propaganda
against Donald. Why, I wonder? The only thing I can think of is he represents a
form of freedom none of them ever saw before, and they are bewildered about it,
and frightened about it.
I pray
all Americans who have seen and felt the meltdown of America with the Obama
years, to please fight for Donald Trump. He will not let us down. I pray for
all good people to see clearly what faces us now. The right vote will save our
nation.
Voight told Breitbart News
that he had shared his statement with Trump earlier this week — though he
added that Trump “doesn’t seem to need me,” noting that “the people have
been much ahead of the so-called experts.”
He added: “They see his
quality, and they feel the frustration of having put people into the Senate,
and put people into the Congress, whom they expected to be able to stand up
against this Obama onslaught against our Constitution, depleting our country in
so many ways, in almost every area. And yet no one was able to stand up
against him.
“So we need a guy who has the
guts to stand up and just say what has to be said … [Americans] see this
playing out in front of them, and that’s it.”
Voight also
noted that Trump’s ability to maintain a positive attitude even though
“he’s got people attacking him from every side” was also a strong argument in
his favor.
“It’s not right — as if Trump
were the danger to our country. He’s a patriot, and the people are responding
because they know it’s exactly what has to happen. Somebody has got to get in
there and clean it out — even take the paint off.”
Voight said he was very
disappointed in Mitt Romney’s recent attack on Trump in particular: “We felt so
great about his family, we put [Romney’s] picture on our refrigerators and so
on, and now he turns around and does this, which is so way out of line.
“There are a ton of lies,
propaganda, and slander, and its very disturbing. And the American people
are saying, ‘Hey, this is nonsense.’
“They are on his side now.
And they’re right to be.”
