As one can see in the video above, the 81-year-old actor asserted that racism in America had been taken care of long ago by the forefathers of the country. Additionally, he even highlighted the supposed hypocrisy of a certain sect of the American population known as the left-wingers. The left-wingers, as per his claim, have only been polluting, in spite of them preaching love.

Voight proposed a conspiracy theory on the part of the so-called left-wingers by saying something on the lines of them wanting to hold President Trump accountable for what he considered to be past lives. The veteran actor went on to elaborate what he thought was the supposed reason behind a handful of people behaving in a not-so-positive way with the president. The statement was preceded by the much-talked-about mass shooting in El Paso, Texas, in which, as per a certain section of the American public, Trump supposedly had a hand.

Jon Voight's movies:

Voight made his feature film debut through 1969's Midnight Cowboy. In the very recent past, the list of Jon Voight's movies have found new additions in the form of Anaconda, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and the Nicolas Cage-starrer National Treasure: Book Of Secrets. In the future, he will be seen in the historical drama titled Roe Vs. Wade: The Untold Story. The film that is jointly directed and produced by Cathy Allyn & Nick Loeb, judging by the title, will presumably touch upon the lesser-known story that unfolded at the time of the historical legal proceedings that led to the decriminalization of abortion in various states of America.
