Angelina Jolie, a special envoy of the United Nations' High Commissioner for Refugees, might not be outwardly endorsing a candidate at the moment, but she's certainly making it abundantly clear who she does not wish to see become the 45th president of the United States.

The actress, director and activist slammed Donald Trump for his divisive rhetoric surrounding religious diversity during Monday's BBC event in London, while offering her own vision for what America could be.

"To me, America is built on people from around the world coming together for freedoms, especially freedom of religion," Jolie said. "So it's hard to hear this is coming from someone who is pressing to be an American president."

Though Jolie is consistently outspoken on human rights issues, she typically remains under the radar in regards to presidential elections in the United States. Her statement follows months of controversial statements from the leading GOP candidate and a proposed ban to block all Muslims from entering American borders — including Muslim-Americans.

First woman President?

1. I wonder how Jolie feels about women's rights in Muslim nations

Or does she expect the U.N. to change that somehow?

2. Yeah, you're right. She's a horrible person, that Jolie woman.

3. Welcome to DU. Do you plan to stay long?

With posts like this and that other one, you're on a fast track on a short road.

4. Until I get bored with the bickering

It's close

5. Good point.

Muslim apologists put gays and women down at the very bottom of their list of things / abstract concepts they give a shit about.

6. You can make a statement

like that because you have over 25000 post and no one is going to tell you to go away or go back to the cave you came from.

I get confused as I wonder how can Hillary say she is fighting for women rights and gay rights, but yet defend Muslims. Where I live a couple of my neighbors are from Yemen and they are muslim. They work very hard at our local Citgo. I go there every morning for coffee, gas and little things. I have a friendly relationship with them and I always ask them questions when I hear or read things about muslims. I have learned a lot from them. They have calmed my fears and maybe I have done good to them too.
They have a beautiful religeon. One month a year they don't eat, except for a couple of hours during the wee mornings. I apologize because I forget what that month is called. I asked them why they did that and they nicely explained why. By the end of the month they are weak and I just want to feed them

With that said, only the males are allowed to work at the Citgo and the males can dress western style. The females cannot dress western style and you never see them. Abdula told me once that his daughter gets upset because she has to go to school wearing her burka. He is firm with her, she can only go out for school and can't socialize with any school mates. He will pick her husband and it goes on...... They don't like gays and think their way of life is sinful and they hate dogs because they are dirty. I found that out the hard way as I was walking my dog to their store and picked him up to walk inside to get a few things.

8. Are you trying to tell me that you are somehow blocked from speaking up for women?!

I am acutely aware that muslim males get to dress, do, act, in whichever way that pleases them, and that females are like, lower than dogs in the equation. Females in the muslim world are sub-human creatures, perhaps somewhat above an animal, but not much more.

9. Right away your hate for Hillary and your true intent revealed

Ridiculous.

7. I look at that pic and wonder if it's

Real, or as much a joke to the subjects in burkas as it is to me.
