‘Seinfeld’ Actor Says He’s ‘Embarrassed’ for Anti-Trump Debra Messing, Eric McCormack

“Will & Grace” stars Debra Messing and Eric McCormack spoke out against Hollywood peers who might be attending an upcoming Trump fundraiser and now “Seinfeld” star John O’Hurley has spoken out against them.“I’m embarrassed for both of them,” he said during an appearance on Fox News Monday. “I’ll say this because I know them both and I’ve worked with Debra before. They’re both smart people. They do wonderful work but they’re pushing a case that falls apart from the sheer weight of its lunacy, as though the Hollywood community needs to be purged of this social and intellectual hygiene problem called conservative thinking.”Also Read: Debra Messing Gets Trump's Attention on Twitter, Demands End to Gun Violence“It underscores the fact that we aren’t receptive to diversity thought, which is the exact opposite of what you feel the liberal way would be,” he told Fox’s Leland Vittert. “I find that obscene.”The fundraiser is being held in Beverly Hills on Sept. 17, five days before the Emmys are held in Los Angeles, with a minimum $1,000 donation required to attend. Messing called for a list of all attendees to be published, saying that “the public has a right to know.”McCormack followed that up with a similar call “so the rest of us can be clear about who we don’t wanna work with.”Representatives for Messing and McCormack did not immediately respond to a request for comment.Read original story ‘Seinfeld’ Actor Says He’s ‘Embarrassed’ for Anti-Trump Debra Messing, Eric McCormack At TheWrap

Trump news – live: President rages over disastrous trade war after slumping to double-digit poll deficits against all four major 2020 rivals

Donald Trump has raged at the “geniuses” who have allowed the US to be “taken to the cleaners” by China and the EU over trade in recent years, warning that only he is qualified to redress the balance through his divisive trade war, despite significant concerns among economists about the domestic consequences of his tariff escalations.The president has also attacked the media for reporting on his incorrect warning that Alabama could be hit by Hurricane Dorian, even though his message forced US government’s own National Weather Service to issue a denial in order to avert mass panic.
