AceShowbiz - During a new interview, Lea Thompson was asked about Dennis Quaid's endorsement of Trump. She broke down in tears, unable to respond. When asked about her hopefulness, the 'Back to the Future' actress told Daily Mail, "I don't feel so hopeful. I feel... scared." The I have daughters."
Quaid had spoken at a Trump rally in California, expressing his support for the Republican candidate. Thompson responded by reposting a video of Quaid's speech on social media, along with the hashtags "#VoteBlueToStopTheStupid" and "#crimeisactuallydown."
Thompson's reaction stems from her concerns about the potential impact of Trump's policies on women's rights and the well-being of children.
"I don't know if it will affect you or me, but I am a mom and know people that have been very affected by having babies that have died," she said. "It just, I feel really bad for them. But America's spoken."
Despite her emotional turmoil, Thompson ended the interview with a joke, suggesting that America needs a DeLorean, the time-traveling machine from "Back to the Future".
"We need that," she said. "We need to get on that."
Thompson's comments reflect the deep divide and concern within the entertainment industry and beyond regarding Trump's election.
