Hollywood’s latest attempt to keep President-elect Donald Trump out of the White House has even some liberals blasting their “self-righteous” calls for unity.
EXCLUSIVE: FBI New York field office ordered to ‘go forward’ on Clinton Foundation probe
In “A Message for Electors to Unite For America,” a video published on Wednesday, more than a dozen celebrities urge electors to vote their conscience, which they hope means they will NOT cast their electoral vote for Trump. They call the Republicans they aim to woo “brave” and “conscientious.”
“I stand with you,” they repeatedly pleaded as they vowed to stand in solidarity with “conservatives, independents and liberals.”
Yeah, right.

The liberals, which include actors Martin Sheen, Debra Messing, Noah Wyle and Loretta Swit, urge electors to vote “for any eligible person, no matter which party they belong to,” as long as it is not President-elect Trump.
Everyone please watch this? And share? #UniteForAmerica #SupportTheElectors

While many Americans are tired of the left’s refusal to move on from the election, it seems they are even more fed up with being lectured by Hollywood.
@DebraMessing Did all of you learn nothing from this election?

@DebraMessing You really think Republican Electors are going to care what some self-righteous hollywood liberals think? HAAAAAAAAAAAAA

@pattonoswalt I absolutely hate Trump but the reality is that most folks get turned off by elitist actors lecturing them.

There were, of course, some who praised the effort, or at least the premise.

@pattonoswalt While I 100% agree with the message, whose idea was it to change GOP minds by getting a bunch of Hollywood liberals together?

@DebraMessing Remember when Hillary said that not accepting the results of the election was a “direct threat to our democracy”? Good times.

@pattonoswalt Can you imagine what the reaction would be if Republicans tried to pull this stunt if Hillary Clinton had won?
