Tim Allen Says Being Conservative In Hollywood Is Like Being In 1930s Germany
Donald Trump may have won the election, but that means little for his supporters who are still out there suffering persecution because of their beliefs. For example, take Home Improvement star Tim Allen, who appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live Friday to tell the host that being a conservative in Hollywood is like being in Germany during the rise of Adolf Hitler. Speaking about his attendance at Trump's inauguration, Allen nervously admitted, "I was invited. We did a VIP thing for the vets and went to the veterans' ball, and so I went to go see the democrats and republicans. Yeah, I went to the inauguration."
"I'm not attacking you," Kimmel replied.
"You gotta be real careful around here," said the Tool Man. "You get beat up if you don't believe what everyone believes."
"This is like 30s Germany," Allen, who, similarly to certain people in Nazi Germany, has suffered from persecution such as starring in two hit TV shows and voicing the character Buzz Lightyear in the popular Toy Story movie franchise, continued. "I don't know what happened. If you're not part of the group, 'you know what we believe is right,' well I might have a problem with that. I'm a comedian. I like going on both sides."
Allen quickly changed the subject to government spying, a much less controversial topic. Watch the video below:
