Martin Sheen
‘Disgusted’ by Trump in Democrat Fundraising Email
by Jerome Hudson 28 Jun 2017
Actor Martin Sheen ripped President Donald Trump
this week in a fundraising email on behalf of the Democratic Congressional
Campaign Committee.
In the email, titled “Disgusted,” Sheen says his
portrayal of President Josiah Bartlet on the NBC political drama The West Wing taught him how Washington D.C. should be
governed.
“My time playing the president on The West Wing taught
me what Washington should be like,” the email reads. “And right now, with the
Republicans in control, it’s far from what we, as Americans, deserve.”
Sheen also slammed congressional Republicans for
“kowtowing to their rich special interests,” while asking voters to contribute
between $1 and $250 to congressional Democrats.
The Grace and Frankie star says he’s
“most disgusted by the Republican effort to gut health care and social programs
for Americans in need.”
The Sheen-featured fundraising email comes as the
national Democratic Party posted
its worst May of fundraising since 2003, raising just $4.29 million.
The Republican National Committee, however, raised a
record $10.8 million in May.
For Sheen, it’s hardly his first time attacking Trump.
During the presidential election, the actor said
then-candidate Trump was “an empty-headed moron” that had “absolutely nothing
to offer” American voters and had “no chance” at winning the White House in
November.
The actor also appeared in an anti-Trump
campaign ad after the election that sought to get members of
the Electoral College to switch their votes to former Democratic candidate
Hillary Clinton.
