Actress, activist, producer, and former singer Alyssa Milano branded actor Jon Voight an “F-lister" who was trying to “stay relevant” on Saturday, after he released two videos expressing his staunch support for President Donald Trump.
Milano, known for her acrimonious tongue, tweeted a scathing response the same day Voight praised the president, claiming his words are why “Republicans discredit actors and our political views.”
“Stay in your lane, Jon!” she tweeted.
“Has been!”
“F-lister trying to stay relevant!”
“Nobody cares what an out-of-touch actor thinks!” Milano lashed out.
Now I understand why Republicans like to discredit actors and our political views.

Voight had released a two-part video where he referred to US President Donald Trump as the “greatest president since Abraham Lincoln”.
“People of the Republican Party, I know you will agree with me when I say our president has our utmost respect and our love,” Voight said.
“This job is not easy, for he’s battling the left and their absurd words of destruction.”
