Jon Voight says something is ‘wrong’ with Pelosi, Schiff: ‘These people are not well’

Critics have felt the need to cast aspersions on President Donald Trump’s physical and mental health since before he took office. In 2017, media personality Keith Olbermann argued that the president could be suffering from “a psychiatric condition,” “substance-abuse-related” problems, or “the long-term effects of concussions,” according to RealClearPolitics.

Perhaps in response, Hollywood conservative Jon Voight recently offered a diagnosis of his own. “I look at the statements of Nancy Pelosi, I look at this fellow Schiff, Adam Schiff. It’s pretty clear there is something wrong here,” Voight told interviewer Raymond Arroyo on Monday’s episode of The Ingraham Angle, according to Fox News.

“These people are not well”

Voight went on to say that the House speaker and Intelligence Committee chairman are simply “not well.”

“These people are not well and the audience is seeing the bottom line just as they’re seeing the bottom line with these debates. One ridiculous statement after another,” he said. “That’s who the Democratic Party is and they’re getting a view of it.”

The actor also characterized the Democrats’ impeachment effort as “a lie.”

“It’s the culmination of a commitment to take down this president,” he lamented.

“I’ve been there”

Polling data seems to confirm Voight’s claim that the public isn’t warming to idea of removing Trump from office. A survey published by Emerson Polling last week showed a drop in enthusiasm over the issue.

The poll found that “support for impeachment has flipped since October,” with 48% supporting impeachment last month and 44% opposing, “to now 45% opposed and 43% in support.”

What’s more, the drop was most evident among independent voters, a demographic that Democrats need to court if they hope to retake the White House next year.

“The biggest swing is among Independents, who oppose impeachment now 49% to 34%, which is a reversal from October where they supported impeachment 48% to 39%,” Emerson reported.

For his part, Voight says he understands the mindsets of vocal Trump opponents like Madonna and Robert de Niro.

“I’ve been there,” Voight admitted, referring to the left-wing beliefs that he used to hold. “So when I hear them, those two you mention and others I know in this lifetime, perhaps they’ll come to an understanding that it’s wrong.”

Only time will tell.
