If there’s one thing the left hates, it’s someone in the entertainment industry who strays off the Democrat plantation. Actor Mark Pellegrino isn’t a conservative but he’s not a leftist and he thinks for himself.

While not a Trump supporter, Pellegrino has been calling out the left’s authoritarian streak and its attempts to shut down free speech through political correctness. He joins the ranks of politically incorrect actors like Adam Baldwin and Into the Badlands star Daniel Wu, who spoke out against the concept of cultural appropriation.
