“I’m voting for @realDonaldTrump because he’s NOT a politician. I voted for him 4 years ago for this reason and shall vote for him again for this reason,” Alley explained. “He gets things done quickly and he will turn the economy around quickly. There you have it folks there you have it,” she continued.
Following her controversial tweet, a number of celebrities and prominent figures went after the actress on Twitter for backing Trump. Alley is now responding to the criticism while standing up for her decision to vote for the President. “Don’t think I’ve ever seen so much name-calling in my life,” she tweeted after her first post. “Definitely not on my site here anyway I guess I’m not allowed to have a viewpoint without being called a really nasty names by what I’m going to suppose are really nasty people.” Following that tweet, Alley told her followers to “Stick to your guns.”
Alley has been a big supporter of Trump for years and highly critical of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, saying that he was being shielded from debating the president. She tweeted this past July,
“It’s pretty sad that Dems don’t want Biden to Debate Trump,” she tweeted. “Its like saying ‘we know he can’t hold his own in a debate with Trump but could hold his own with world leaders and making monumental decisions for this country.'”
