“Will & Grace” star Eric McCormack called on The Hollywood Reporter on Friday, asking them to publish the names of anyone attending a Tinsel Town fundraiser for President Donald Trump.
Responding to the news that the president would attend a fundraiser in Hollywood during Emmys week, McCormack tweeted, “Hey, @THR, kindly report on everyone attending this event, so the rest of us can be clear about who we don’t wanna work with. Thx.”

Actress Kristy Swanson fired right back, expressing her disappointment that he would refuse to work with anyone over political differences of opinion. “It’s absolutely heartbreaking that you would say something like this & then ask The Hollywood Reporter to get on board with you (so sad),” she tweeted.
“Oh my goodness Mr. McCormack. I personally have never ever NOT worked with someone just because I had a difference with them politically. It’s absolutely heartbreaking that you would say something like this & then ask The Hollywood Reporter to get on board with you (so sad).”

Work is income. You are there to do a job that you're getting paid to do.— Global Awareness 101 (@Mononoke__Hime) August 31, 2019
At least you have the luxury to turn down jobs unlike 95% of Americans.
And Hollywood celebs have the nerve to think Americans give a shit about who you want to vote for with your nose turned up at them.
Isn't that what the Nazi's did to the Jewish people during WWII?— Global Awareness 101 (@Mononoke__Hime) August 31, 2019
Throughout the German Nazi occupied Europe, Jews were forced to wear Yellow Jewish badges for the purpose of identification and mark them as undesirables.
That's what these Celebrities are promoting to do to us.
The actor behind a show about tolerance shows little of it here...— Christian Toto (@HollywoodInToto) August 30, 2019

'Will & Grace' Star Won't Work With Trump Supporters

Eric McCormack takes his Trump Derangement to a new level, one reflecting his industry's political bigotry.
Eric McCormack’s “Will & Grace” helped break down gay stereotypes. Even Vice President Joe Biden said as much.
The long-running show featured a platonic friendship between a single lady (Debra Messing) and her gay best friend (McCormack).
Here’s Biden, currently fighting fellow Democrats for the chance to battle President Donald Trump in 2020, recalling the NBC sitcom’s impact on the culture.
I think Will & Grace did more to educate the American public more than almost anything anybody has done so far. People fear that which is different. Now they’re beginning to understand.
This week, McCormack took a step in the opposite direction. He rushed to Twitter after learning President Trump planned to hold a fundraiser near La La Land.
That, apparently, could give the actor the ammunition he needs to fight back against those with whom he disagrees politically. And he hopes his friends follow his lead.
The message earned a few applause GIFs as well as condemnation from fellow liberals.
Actor Isaiah Washington, profiled in this probing episode of Red Pilled America, doubled down on behalf of his colleagues.
— Isaiah Washington (@IWashington) August 30, 2019Hey @jack is this tweet openly threatening to “blacklist” American Citizens in Hollywood okay for the good of society? Just asking for a friend. ๐ค https://t.co/nsy3OhQljP
Fox News star Greg Gutfeld weighed in, too.
— GregGutfeld (@greggutfeld) August 31, 2019you wanna know why anyone in Hollywood who thinks for themselves has to keep their mouths shut and their heads down? Like Joe McCarthy, Eric sees ruining a career as a viable method to encourage lockstep. Be like me, or you're finished. https://t.co/g23sVysfCK
This isn’t an isolated incident.
A crush of stories shows how conservatives are treated like second-class citizens, or worse, in Hollywood today. That intensified following Trump’s election. They lose jobs and aren’t allowed to fully express themselves like their liberal peers.
Many right-leaning actors and crew members stay silent, both on the set and via social media. They fear risking key opportunities if they don’t toe the progressive line.
And while a select few actors, like Nick Searcy, are loud and proud of their conservative opinions, others think speaking up can have consequences.
You’d think the actor best known for a show about love and tolerance would understand that.
UPDATE: McCormack’s “Will & Grace” co-star, Debra Messing, doubled down on his Blacklist-style sentiment.

How wonderfully fascist of you @EricMcCormack ! Yes, how dare anyone in a FREE COUNTRY actually be FREE to support someone that you don’t or have an opinion that differs from yours. Anyone that doesn’t get in line with your opinion should absolutely be blacklisted from work. ๐คฆ♀️— Maeve Quinlan (@maevequinlan) August 31, 2019

What an unprofessional thing to say. I work with people I don’t agree with. I don’t care, they are good at their jobs. Sad and pathetic attitude.— DeeDee Catmama (@speechteacher19) August 31, 2019
I used to like Eric back in the old days of the early Will & Grace. Now I refuse to watch anything he or Debra Messing are in new or old. Their political BS is too much.— joan (@J58golf) August 30, 2019
How dare someone have an opinion that is not the same as yours? What is this? America?— Carmine Sabia (@CarmineSabia) August 30, 2019
UPDATE 9/1/19 at 9:14pm: Added tweets below.I have many employees that work with me who have alternative political opinions to my own. Yet I would never think it was okay to punish them or take away their livelihood because of it. You need to learn some perspective Eric.— Unagi (@brownrobin64) August 30, 2019

Twisted. He vehemently declares he doesn't support "blacklists or discrimination of any kind". Yet he ASKED FOR LIST of Trump donors so he blacklist discriminate against us.— Global Awareness 101 (@Mononoke__Hime) September 4, 2019
So, in that vein let's compile a list of all Jewish owned businesses. It's public info right? [/sarcasm]
