Hollywood star Zachary Levi endorsed former President Donald Trump on Saturday, saying he would “take back this country” and “make it great again.”
The “Shazam” actor made his endorsement on stage at a Trump rally in Michigan, telling audiences how he came to embrace Trump after first supporting Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
“For a long time, I was like, ‘Man, I really want to find a politician that represents all of the things that I want and I want to see in a presidential candidate,’” Levi said, “And this year, I found Bobby Kennedy, and I thought, ‘Man, this guy is it. He’s the real deal.’ And in a perfect world, whatever that would look like, perhaps I would have voted for Bobby.”
Levi, who rose to fame as the titular character in NBC’s “Chuck,” told audiences that Kennedy’s and former Hawaii Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard’s support of Trump made him realize that the former president was the best choice to lead the country.
“I stand with Bobby, and I stand with Tulsi, and I stand with everyone else who is standing with President Trump. Because I do believe, of the two choices that we have, and we only have two, Donald Trump, President Trump is the man that can get us there,” Levi said, before introducing Gabbard and Kennedy.
In his remarks, Levi noted that he was raised in a “Christian conservative” household and recalled learning from his parents “to have a healthy level of distrust for the government and a healthy level of distrust for industry that runs amok.”
“We’re here to make sure that we are going to take back this country, we are going to make it great again, we are going to make it healthy again,” Levi said.
A growing number of voters are turning to Trump after the former president took up Kennedy’s pledge to tackle chronic disease and other health issues that plague the country. A number of otherwise apolitical health and wellness influencers followed Kennedy’s lead in endorsing Trump, The Daily Wire reported earlier this month.
