Ben Stiller
The “Night at the Museum” and “Zoolander” star has donated tens of thousands of dollars to Democrat candidates, including $25,000 to President Obama’s 2008 campaign. He’s been outspoken in his criticism of President Trump, especially with regard to immigration and refugee policies. For his support of refugees around the world, the UN Refugee Agency has named him a Goodwill Ambassador. The comedian, who has always incorporated impersonations in his comedy routine, has also appeared on SNL as Michael Cohen, President Trump’s former lawyer who is currently embroiled in multiple court cases.
Jennifer Aniston
Former “Friends” star Jennifer Aniston has been a Democrat for years, donating to both President Obama’s and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s campaigns for president. She drew flak from many during the 2004 presidential race when her then-husband Brad Pitt was outspoken in support of Democrat candidate John Kerry, but Aniston was not as vocal. While it appears that she supported Kerry, there is some speculation that this difference contributed to their divorce, which began in early 2005. There were claims that Aniston started a “Celebrities for Trump” group earlier this year, but according to Politifact, it originated from an SNL skit by Alec Baldwin (which had nothing to do with Aniston).
J.K. Rowling
While the creator of Harry Potter lives in England, she’s been very outspoken about her opposition to President Trump. The author has drawn criticism for years for left-wing politics on both sides of the pond. In the 2008 presidential primaries, Rowling said, “I want a Democrat in the White House. And it seems a pity that Clinton and Obama are rivals because both are extraordinary.” As the first billionaire author, she’s spent a great deal of money supporting candidates she endorses, including a donation of $1 million British pounds to the Labour Party in recent elections.
