Hill's Group: Two Major Stars Endorsed Hillary Clinton for President

http://www.bet.com/news/celebrities/2016/03/03/two-major-stars-endorsed-hillary-clinton-for-president.html

Several celebrities have come forward publicly endorsing certain presidential hopefuls, and Steve Harvey is the latest to add his support behind one of them. According to CNN, the talk show host announced his endorsement for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, as he feels she would be the best choice to continue the legacy of President Barack Obama.

"She has fought for social justice, equality and politics that expand civil rights and economic opportunity out there," he said on his Steve Harvey Morning Show, his nationally syndicated radio show.

Speaking directly to the candidate, he said, "As president, you really plan on building on the progress that President Obama has made to deliver some real results for a lot of Americans, including African-Americans. And I'm endorsing you as my candidate for President of the United States and I just think that you're going to just do the right thing for the majority of the people in this country."

Steve isn't the only public figure who has vocally endorsed Clinton. On Wednesday, Jamie Foxx appeared on stage during her fundraiser at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.

6. Enough room under the bus for George?

George Clooney opens the door of the Berlin hotel lounge and shakes hands like an ambassador. “Come on in,” says this paragon of modern Hollywood: a proper, old-fashioned movie star; a producer and occasionally director of interesting, intelligent films; and a furrowed-brow liberal political activist of not inconsiderable achievement. Who else would spend the morning after the premiere of his new film, the Coen brothers’ Hail, Caesar!, confabbing with Angela Merkel about the international refugee crisis? He should be running for president, surely?

Clooney chuckles indulgently. “I am a Hillary supporter. I am doing a fundraiser for her.”

She is absolutely likeable. Those who don't like her are often people that I don't find likable either and generally I like people.

Beyond her likeability, however, she is absolutely and positively the best qualified candidate.

... because of his bigoted views against atheists, but I welcome his support of Hillary. I do like Jamie Foxx, however.

know much about Steve Harvey before this endorsement.

But I LOVE Jamie Foxx.

I wonder whether anyone will suggest that they must have been bribed, as has been done with other Hillary endorsers.
