UPDATED: James Woods retires from acting after saying he's blacklisted because he's conservative. Wait! What? He's NOT?!

Update to bottom story:
James Woods: Here's The Funny Story Behind That False Report That I'm Retiring For Being Blacklisted  "As The Daily Wire has chronicled, James Woods is one of the few conservative voices left in Hollywood who's willing to push back against the progressive agenda promoted in lock-step by his colleagues. After decades of duking it out with his fellow celebrities, the 70-year-old actor appeared to have announced on Friday that he was officially retiring from the film industry — just a few weeks after saying that he'd accepted that he had been "blacklisted" in Hollywood because of his openly conservative views. However, after sitting back and watching the story go viral, Woods revealed on Saturday that the news of his retirement had been "greatly exaggerated.' " . . .

@Real JamesWoods  I was for years, until  was impeached. Every single  without exception stood behind a convicted perjurer. That was the end. 8:22 PM - Aug 21, 2017
"He said on Twitter that he switched parties because of his disgust with the former president. 
" 'Every single #Democrat without exception stood behind a convicted perjurer," he wrote on Twitter this summer. "That was the end."
"His luck in Hollywood turned sour soon after he became a Republican. He has not had a major role in a film in at least a decade." . . .
Politichicks:  Blacklisting in Hollywood still alive and well today
,. . . "Rarely has Hollywood rallied against a cause more so than the blacklisting that resulted from the McCarthy trials.  Because of this, everyone should be baffled as to why liberals aren’t rallying against the newest “McCarthyism” in Hollywood—firing artists because of their conservative political standing." . .  .witter Ads info and privacy
