Celebrity Critics Step Back, Liberty Remains Vital
Liberty Check
- Prominent entertainment figures have responded to shifting U.S. politics by either retreating or continuing activism from overseas.
- Some celebrities, including Madonna, Jim Carrey, Angelina Jolie, and Jimmy Kimmel, have taken steps to establish residence outside the United States, each citing personal or political motivations.
- The effects of these high-profile moves highlight how constitutional rights, especially free speech and citizenship, must remain protected regardless of public figures’ stances.
Ellen DeGeneres, once an influential television figure and frequent Trump critic, has left American media and moved to the UK following the cancellation of her show. She now focuses on a lifestyle brand, stepping away from active political commentary.
Rosie O’Donnell relocated to Ireland with her child, citing concerns about the political climate in America. She continues to confront political issues from abroad, specifically defending citizenship rights against threats of revocation.
As celebrities take sides or step away, it’s crucial for Americans to recognize that fundamental freedoms are not granted by politicians or celebrities—they are safeguarded by the Constitution.
Our freedoms depend on staying vigilant.
