Seinfeld Star Rips ‘Will & Grace’ Actors for ‘Embarrassing’ Actions Against Trump Supporters

The Seinfeld star said that he found the entire notion that Hollywood can not accept a difference of opinion, as demonstrated by McCormack and Messing’s temper tantrum, to be “obscene.”

The Political Insider  "John O’Hurley, an actor best known for his role as Elaine Benes’ eccentric boss J. Peterman on the legendary NBC sitcom “Seinfeld,” tore into a pair of ‘Will & Grace’ actors calling for Trump supporters to be shunned and doxxed.

Eric McCormack, a Canadian actor who played the character Will Truman, called for a boycott of Trump supporters in Hollywood while Debra Messing, who played Grace Adler in the same series, called for donors to the President to be outed.

“ 'Please print a list of all attendees please,” Messing wrote in response to a Hollywood Reporter story on a Beverly Hills fundraiser for the President. “The public has a right to know.”

"That was shortly after McCormack demanded, “Hey, [Hollywood Reporter], kindly report on everyone attending this event, so the rest of us can be clear about who we don’t wanna work with.”

"O’Hurley praised both McCormack and Messing as actors before shredding their actions as “lunacy” and revealing he felt “embarrassed” by what they had done.

. . . 

“Let me just say I’m embarrassed for both of them because I know them both, I’ve worked with Debra before,” O’Hurley explained. “They’re both smart people … they do wonderful work.”

“But, they’re pushing a case that falls apart from the sheer weight of its lunacy, as though the Hollywood community needs to be purged of this social and intellectual hygiene problem called conservative thinking,” he added."

. . . 

"O’Hurley, one of the few outspoken conservatives in Hollywood, says it’s frustrating to work in an industry where your opinions are shunned.

“ 'It’s very difficult to be a conservative in Hollywood,” he said. “Even though there are many of us, you do feel you are an island fighting the storm.”

"He did, however, point out other famous actors such as Bryan Cranston and Michael Richards, whom he says have differing viewpoints than he does, but enjoy an actual intellectual conversation debating the issues." . . .
