“When I came out and I said I was endorsing President Trump through my endorsement of Tulsi and Bobbi. … Within my industry, as you can probably imagine, Hollywood is a very, very liberal town and this very well could constitute career suicide, so I’m glad I did it with you guys,” he said.
Addressing concerns about professional consequences, Levi revealed that his ongoing and upcoming projects remain unaffected. “For coming out and voting for Trump? I mean, listen, I have yet to see what the ultimate effects of all that are gonna be. I already had multiple jobs that I was in the process of shooting or that I have yet to shoot, and none of those have been compromised,” he said. “None of my producers or any of the studios behind those films or projects have called and said, ‘Hey listen this is a line too far, and we can’t have you associated with the project anymore.’ We’re all still full steam ahead on those. How it ultimately plays out in the future? I don’t know.”
Y'all just haven't been paying attention to Zachary Levi. He's a hardcore Trump Christian who supports Jordan Peterson calling him a "deep thinker."

The actor stood firm in his political convictions, praising Trump’s presidency while criticizing the current administration. “The four years of his [Trump’s] presidency were significantly better than the four years of the Biden-Harris presidency and vice presidency,” Levi said, adding: “Our border was more secure, our economy was more secure, crimes rates were down.”
He also expressed frustration with mainstream media coverage, stating, “When you when you have almost every network television show, other than Fox News, when all the rest are saying ‘Hitler Hitler Hitler Hitler Hitler’ and all of his supporters are Nazis and Madison Square Garden is a Nazi rally and all of these things, of course you’re going to spin all of these people watching that into a a tizzy of fear.”
