“There are no statesmen, no statesmen, in the Democrat world.”
Actor Jon Voight drew a stark comparison between the leadership in the Democratic Party and the leadership in the Republican Party, namely President Donald Trump.
The conservative actor sat down with Mark Levin on Fox News to discuss his opinion thoughts on President Trump’s leadership of the Republican Party and the nation as a whole.

There’s [sic] wonderful things happening every day, thanks in great part to this president we have who is very specifically talented for this time. And all of the dangers that exist in this world and in our country that he’s able to face. Get up in the morning, fresh. Go through the day 15 hours later, just as fresh. Having mud slang at him, you know, all these lies and slander that he deals with doesn’t [sic] affect him. Water off the ducks back. And he keeps going.
Voight also highlighted that the president’s talent isn’t limited to just himself, but the people he chose to assist him. The actor stated, “[President Trump] has around him a legion of very talented people.”
According to Voight, this is a key difference between the Republicans and the Democrats.
If you look at the Republican Party and the conservative world and you look at the Democrat Party, there’s no comparison. The Democrats have bereft of talent. They don’t have talented leadership. There are no statesmen, no statesmen, in the Democrat world. But in the Republican world, in the conservative world, there are many brothers you have, like [Mark Levin], of stature, that are primed with specific gifts to answer today’s challenge.
Voight told Lavin they could each name “50 people” in the conservative movement who would be good leaders for the nation, adding, “so we have hope.”
The actor’s comments highlight some of the chaos surrounding leadership that has been seen in the Democrat Party. Many Democrats have vowed to not support Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to be Speaker of the House should Democrats win back the house.
