Dorothy Hamill
Hamill won an Olympic Gold medal back in 1976 and along with her haircut, took the country by storm. In 2004, the iconic figure skater stepped off the ice and took to fundraisers and rallies to support Republican politicians, George W. Bush and Dick Cheney. Dorothy also came out in 2006 in support of the Mitt Romney / Paul Ryan ticket. She attended the Republican National Convention that year and since then has been an unwavering supporter of Republican candidates. In 2007, she presented first lady Laura Bush with the Academy of Achievement Golden Plate Award.
Chelsea Handler
The late-night talk show host had her own show “Chelsea Lately” on E! for years before moving on to Netflix in 2016. The video service also gave her a show, simply titled “Chelsea,” which she hosted from 2016 to 2017. However, after those two seasons, she decided to end the show in order to focus on political activism. She’s been a strong opponent of President Trump and said that she plans to work with the pro-choice EMILY’s List to elect women to public office in 2018. Donald Trump Jr. has attacked her directly, recently saying “Stay away from politics — no reason to suck at two things.”
Gloria Estefan
Gloria was born in Havana, Cuba but grew up in Miami. Her father was a political prisoner in Cuba for 2 years after Fidel Castro’s revolution. She has widely been considered a Republican, but has recently come out to clarify. She says, “I hate boxes, I’m not Republican, I’m not Democrat, I’m not even an independent.” She was, however, appointed by George W. Bush to speak at the United Nations Third Committee on Human Rights about Cuba. That is one topic she can be absolutely clear about. She declines to talk about politics, but she will say this: she is 100% against Castro. “I’m pro-embargo…the only embargo in Cuba is Fidel’s embargo against the people.” She’s also a strong supporter of legal immigration and “good security on the border.”
