Out actor Kevin Spacey, who has faced several allegations of sexual misconduct, publicly supported Robert Kennedy Jr. for president yesterday, putting him in a minority of LGBTQ+ individuals not backing President Joe Biden in this election. A minority of LGBTQ+ individuals are not supporting President Joe Biden. In this election, some LGBTQ+ people are not supporting President Joe Biden.
And Spacey’s reasoning reveals that he is not very concerned about policy.
Spacey shared a video on X promoting Kennedy’s campaign, and it’s mainly about Kennedy’s opposition to vaccines. Kennedy compares vaccines to cigarettes in the video.
Spacey explained that he supports Kennedy not for the positions outlined in the video but because Kennedy remained his friend as he faced all those sexual misconduct allegations.
“When the world turned its back on me, Bobby leaned in.”
“He’s a formidable fighter for justice and a loyal friend that’s not afraid to stand up for what he believes.”
In October 2017, Spacey was first accused of sexually harassing or assaulting several men – some of whom were minors at the time. Among the accusers was out actor Anthony Rapp, who said that Spacey assaulted him when he was just 14 years old. Rapp later lost his lawsuit against Spacey.
Eight employees from House of Cards also accused Spacey of sexual harassment and assault, as did several men associated with London’s renowned Old Vic Theatre, where Spacey served for years as artistic director. Twenty people came forward during an investigation by The Old Vic to say that Spacey acted in a sexually inappropriate manner with them before and during his time as artistic director. After the theatre’s investigation, various legal proceedings against Spacey were initiated in multiple jurisdictions
a member of the Norwegian royal house accused Spacey of inappropriately touching him without consent.. Even On X, people made fun of Spacey for endorsing Kennedy, either saying that Spacey’s endorsement won’t help Kennedy or that Spacey’s judgement is questionable because of his endorsement. People can’t decide whether the endorsement reflects worse on Spacey or Kennedy.
On X, people mocked Spacey for endorsing Kennedy, either saying that Spacey’s endorsement won’t help Kennedy or that Spacey’s judgement is lacking because of his endorsement.
