They Helped Elect Joe Biden. Now Hollywood Celebrities Are Pushing Democrat-Backed H.R.1
4 Apr 2021
Hollywood stars helped drag Joe Biden over the finish line and into the White House.

Showbiz elites including Judd Apatow, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Debra Messing, Rob Reiner, and Amy Schumer are performing the hard sell, spinning the legislation as a safeguard against corruption. In actuality, the bill restores voting rights to convicted felons, protects illegal aliens, and empowers the federal government to grab election oversight from states.
