Jon Voight Defends Trump’s July 4th Ceremony: ‘This Guy Is A Peacemaker’

In an interview with video journalist Nicholas Ballasy on Thursday, actor Jon Voight dismissed criticisms of President Trump's  4th of July speech, arguing they "will take any opportunity to twist the facts and make him look bad, right?"

He also argued the President is a peacemaker:

"They don't want him to have a success, and that's what they're fighting. They're fighting against every success. And yet, what is he doing? If you look very carefully at what he has done, he's creating the possibility of peace and regions that have been nothing but turmoil over the years. This guy is a peacemaker. And he's doing it very cleverly, he's facing various countries around the world, he's educating everybody. And he's doing it with common sense and he's doing it with just making them accountable to the truth of things. He has enormous respect around the world and we should be at his back and be very grateful for what he's doing. And the only way that you can avoid knowing what he's doing is to distort it, you know, to say something else, and that's what the press is doing consistently."
