Smith\u2019s years of pushing a radical, left-wing agenda offer insight into how this $350 million Hollywood elite would act if elected.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>King Richard\u00a0<\/em>star\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/news\/film\/will-smith-says-he-will-run-to-be-president-to-pre-871359\">told\u00a0<em>CBS Sunday Morning<\/em>\u00a0back in 2015<\/a>\u00a0he was feeling compelled to run for office to counter former U.S. President\u00a0Donald Trump\u2018s successful 2016 campaign \u2014 although no such move was forthcoming.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>Here are five times Will Smith used his money, his massive platform to pushed a radical leftist agenda:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<blockquote>\n<p>1.Will Smith went full-fledged Black Lives Matter , using a\u00a0<i data-stringify-type=\"italic\">GQ\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gq.com\/story\/will-smith-november-cover-profile?utm_source=twitter&#038;mbid=social_twitter&#038;utm_brand=gq&#038;utm_social-type=owned&#038;utm_medium=social\">interview<\/a>\u00a0to praise the message behind the Marxist movement. \u201cThis is a difficult area to discuss, but I feel like the simplicity of Black Lives Matter was perfect,\u201d the\u00a0<em>Men in Black\u00a0<\/em>star\u00a0said. \u201cAnybody who tries to debate Black Lives Matter looks ridiculous. So when I talk about the marketing of our ideas, Black Lives Matter was perfection.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>2. He\u00a0backed proponents of critical race theory (CRT), going so far as to say \u00a0in an interview <em>GQ <\/em>that\u00a0it should be re-branded as \u201ctruth theory.\u201d Will Smith believes a political theory that promotes the organization of society along racial lines, including the demonization of white people, should be called \u201ctruth theory.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>3. The Hollywood star embraced\u00a0boycotting Georgia over the state\u2019s voter integrity law, which were intended to combat voter fraud. Smith moved the shooting of his slavery-themed movie\u00a0<i data-stringify-type=\"italic\">Emancipation<\/i>\u00a0from Georgia to Louisiana in protest, as Breitbart News <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/entertainment\/2021\/04\/12\/will-smith-pulls-slave-drama-emancipation-out-of-georgia-in-protest-of-voter-integrity-law\/\">reported<\/a>. He explained the move this way:\u00a0\u201cThe new Georgia voting laws are reminiscent of voting impediments that were passed at the end of Reconstruction to prevent many Americans from voting. Regrettably, we feel compelled to move our film production work from Georgia to another state.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>4. In 2020 Smith <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/entertainment\/2020\/11\/23\/hollywood-heavyweights-including-will-smith-mandy-moore-george-clooney-pour-cash-into-georgia-senate-runoffs\/\">joined<\/a> other Hollywood elites and made a financial contribution to Democrats running in Georgia\u2019s Senate runoff elections.\u00a0A-list Democrat celebrities including George Clooney, Joaquin Phoenix, and Leonardo DiCaprio joined Smith in pouring cash into Georgia\u2019s runoff elections, hoping to push Democratic challengers Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock across the finish line, thereby flipping the Senate blue. They succeeded.<\/p>\n<p>5. Smith saw nothing but darkness and hopelessness in Donald Trump\u2019s rise to the White House. Without mentioning the then incumbent by name, Smith told an interviewer: \u201cThis is the purge, right?\u201d according to\u00a0<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"http:\/\/www.indiewire.com\/2017\/12\/will-smith-bright-netflix-future-its-going-to-be-a-fucking-mess-1201907211\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">Indiewire<\/a>. \u201cThis is the cleanse, this is what happens. This is the natural reaction to the amount of light that came into the world when Barack Obama was the president [\u2026] We had to expect that [the pendulum] was going to go the other way, as a cleanse \u2013 but this is the darkness before the dawn.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Who would be Smith\u2019s role model in the Oval Office?<\/p>\n<p>In August 2016 he spoke directly about his admiration for Barack Obama during an appearance on <em>The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was thinking about it but, you know, I watched [Barack] Obama for the last 8 years [and] that\u2019s a hard job,\u201d Smith <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/news\/film\/will-smith-says-he-s-spoken-to-president-obama-abo-877808\">conceded<\/a>. \u201cI definitely have had the itching. I have lots of views and ideas and sometimes I hear people say things on television and I just want to run against them.\u201d<\/p>\n<h5><em><span>Follow Simon Kent on Twitter:<\/span> <a class=\"twitter-follow-button\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SunSimonKent\" data-show-count=\"false\">Follow @SunSimonKent<\/a> <span>or e-mail to: skent@breitbart.com<\/span><br \/><\/em><\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About a year before A-list Hollywood actor Will Smith blew up his iconic career by attacking Chris Rock at the Academy Awards, he revealed he\u2019s open to running for public<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":82,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1408538","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1408538","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/82"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1408538"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1408538\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1408538"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1408538"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1408538"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
