WASHINGTON, DC. (THECOUNT) — The White House announced on Sunday that President Donald J. Trump will award actor Jon Voight the National Medal of Arts later this week.
Voight, one of Trump’s most vocal Hollywood supporters, will be honored at a White House ceremony on Thursday for his “exceptional capacity as an actor to portray deeply complex characters,” the White House said in a statement.
“Captivating audiences, he has given us insights into the richness of the human mind and heart,” the statement said, as reported by TheHill.
Last Thursday, Voight posted a video denouncing the impeachment process against President Trump.
