Four Celebrities Who Rejected Conservative Fans: ‘I Have No Respect for You’

With the November presidential election less than 40 days away, liberal celebrities are increasingly speaking out. Howard Stern recently caused controversy after attacking Donald Trump voters as “stupid” and saying he didn’t care if he lost them as listeners. But Stern wasn’t the first liberal celebrity to tell conservatives not to listen or watch.

Here are four prominent radio, television and music personalities who have bluntly told conservative fans that they are unwelcome.

1. Stern “hates” Trump voters and doesn’t mind losing “half of my audience.”

Earlier this month, SiriusXM radio host Howard Stern said he hates supporters of former President Trump.

“I don’t agree with Trump politically, I don’t think he should come anywhere near the White House. I don’t hate the guy. I hate the people who vote for him. I think she’s stupid. I do.” “I’ll be honest with you, I have no respect for you,” he said on “The Howard Stern Show.”

The Liberal shock player said he didn’t mind losing “half.” [his] “Listeners” who disagree with his policies and fully expect “hate mail” from Trump supporters after this polarizing statement.

It is not the first time that Stern has taken action against Trump supporters. Before the 2020 election, he said: “I don’t hate Donald. I hate you for voting for him, because you have no intelligence. Because you can’t see what’s going on with the coronavirus because you can’t see what the Justice Department is doing. I hate you. I don’t want you here.

2. Jimmy Kimmel on the fact that Republicans aren’t watching: “Well, not a good ending, but ending.”

In 2017, ABC late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel was asked whether he feared he was driving away his audience with his increasing left-wing turn after former President Trump entered the White House.

“I saw – I don’t know if it was a study or a poll or a combination of those two things – that I was equally popular with Republicans and Democrats about three years ago, and then the Republican numbers went way down. like 30% or whatever,” Kimmel said in a 2017 interview on “CBS Sunday Morning.”

“And as a talk show host, it’s not ideal, but I would do it again in a heartbeat,” he continued.

“Good riddance?” The reporter followed.

“Well, not a good riddance, but liberation,” Kimmel replied.

A January 2024 Media Research Center study found that 81% of all political jokes told on major late-night comedy shows in 2023 were aimed at conservatives. Kimmel’s show had the highest rate of anti-conservative jokes of all six shows. Of the 2,215 political jokes made on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”, 1,960, or 88%, were aimed at conservatives.

“And if you vote for Ron DeSantis, you’re dead to me,” she said.

Last week at her band’s iHeartRadio Music Festival, Williams urged listeners to vote against Trump unless they wanted to “live in a dictatorship.”

“Project 2025 is Donald Trump’s plan to control and punish women, poor people, people of color and the LGBTQ+ community. “It’s time for all Americans to come together and finally defeat the Trump agenda,” she said directly into the camera. “And the only way to do that is to confront him at the polls.”

4. Pink tells pro-lifers to “Never listen to my music again”

After the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June 2022, singer Pink took action against pro-life conservatives.

“Let’s be clear: If you believe that government belongs in a woman’s womb, in a business, or in a gay man’s marriage, or that racism is OK – THEN PLEASE, IN THE NAME OF YOUR LORD, NEVER LISTEN TO MY MUSIC AGAIN . AND ALSO F— RIGHT. the singer wrote on X (then Twitter), according to People Magazine and other media outlets. The social media post has since been deleted.

Conservative film critic Christian Toto, host of the podcast “The Hollywood in Toto,” told Fox News Digital these celebrities should “be careful what they wish for.”

“Today’s stars live in bubble-like communities where they don’t see, meet or be challenged by people with opposing views. They only read a select number of news outlets and have mentally demonized “the other.” For Stern, his millions are already in the bank, and now all he cares about is the approval of the Hollywood rockers who adopt this pose and think that they are nervous.

“Kimmel recently predicted that the end of late-night TV will come sooner than you think. His willingness to kiss off half his audience helps explain why,” Toto told Fox News Digital.
