Hypocritical Hollywood

From THR:
"Tim Allen: Hollywood "Hypocritical" for Bashing Trump as a "Bully""

“What I find odd in Hollywood is that they didn’t like Trump because he was a bully," said Allen. "But if you had any kind of inkling that you were for Trump, you got bullied for doing that. And it gets a little bit hypocritical to me.” Tim Allen stopped by Fox News' The Kelly File on Monday to discuss how Hollywood is reacting to the election of Donald Trump as president.  Allen, star of ABC’s Last Man Standing, spoke with Megyn Kelly about what he sees is "hypocritical" thinking in the Hollywood elite.  “I’m not a spokesman for Hollywood, I’m a comedian. So I get to tour around the country and do comedy and I do a show that has a point of view," he explained.  Allen said that his character is conservative, but the show is “written by liberals," to which Kelly replied, "That goes without saying — that’s redundant."  “What I find odd in Hollywood is that they didn’t like Trump because he was a bully," said Allen. "But if you had any kind of inkling that you were for Trump, you got bullied for doing that. And it gets a little bit hypocritical to me. “I’m really an anarchist," he continued. "As a comedian, I don’t want anyone to tell me what to do. Period.” Kelly said that if anyone in Hollywood "finds out you support Trump at all, it's like you smell bad," adding that she knows several people in the entertainment industry who are conservative but won't tell anyone for fear of retaliation.  “You get bullied into a position, but I don’t want to defend the guy,” Allen explained. "To me, he acts like a new talent comedian. These are guys that have great material that have very bad comedy timing. And he's got terrible timing."  Allen referenced a joke by fellow comedian George Lopez about building a wall and the Mexicans building it, but when Trump says it, it sounds to Allen like a joke that doesn’t quite land: “He may in fact be a guy who wants to be funnier than he is.”  

^ This is the one thing I can not understand about the Election. I understand if you are upset if your candidate didn't win, but everyone who claims to embrace diversity and love everyone doesn't seem to really be for those values. They tend to only embrace the "diversity" of like-minded people who are their yes men/women and do nothing but agree with them. Also those that love everyone and are anti-violence having violent riots on the streets attacking people. I don't care if you are Republican or Democrat, Liberal or Conservative a hypocrite is a hypocrite and that is something I don't like. ^
