MAGA Celebrities Rage at Colorado Kicking Trump off Ballot

Donald Trump's war with the "Hollywood elite" is well-documented. The former president has long-standing feuds with several famous faces including actress Meryl Streep, director Spike Lee and Borat star Sacha Baron Cohen.

However, Trump also has a number of celebrity fans, with many hitting out at the Colorado Supreme Court's decision to remove the 77-year-old from the state's 2024 ballot.

On Tuesday, the court deemed Trump ineligible to hold office in a 4-3 ruling, determining his alleged incitement of the January 6, 2021 Capitol riots amounted to insurrection.

The historic decision stems from a Civil War-time clause in the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. The passage bans officials who have taken an oath to uphold the Constitution from becoming president if they engage in "insurrection." Despite denying any wrongdoing, Trump is the first candidate to be disqualified from running for president under this clause.

Many of his celebrity supporters took to social media to share their thoughts on the ruling, including actor and long-time Trump fan James Woods.

"Donald Trump has never been found guilty of any crime, ever. Most certainly he has never been convicted of insurrection," the 76-year-old wrote on X, the social network formerly known as Twitter.

"The real 'war on democracy' is being waged in Colorado. #Shame."

MMA fighter Jake Shields shared a similar message to the site, writing: "Trump has never been convicted of a crime yet the Colorado courts still removed him from the ballot.

"Regardless of how you feel about Trump, this is a clear travesty of justice. All these judges should be arrested and tried for treason."

Caitlyn Jenner appeared disgusted by the news, calling the ruling "insane Election Interference."

The former Olympic athlete previously spoke out against Trump over his LGTBQ+ policies, but appears to have changed her tune, backing his 2024 presidential bid on social media.

Despite endorsing independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for the 2024 election, former Trump advocate Rob Schneider called his removal from the ballot a Democratic party "roadmap."

"EVERY single thing the Democrats WARNED about Trump was not a warning at all..." the 60-year-old comedian said. "It was a roadmap of what the Democrats intended to do when they regained power.

"Can you imagine the Dem meltdown if Republicans did this to a Dem Presidential candidate?!"

In a video, conservative radio show host Alex Jones described the ruling as "criminal activity in front of everyone."

"This is the oligarchy that's hi-jacked our country, setting up a totalitarian dictatorship in our face," the 49-year-old claimed. "The Supreme Court must act quickly to overturn this."

Comedian Terrence K. Williams declared "F*** The Colorado Supreme Court," before suggesting the justices be removed from the bench.

"He wasn't convicted of any crime so what happened to innocent until proven guilty?" the Cousin T's founder said.

However, other celebs praised the ruling, with actress Bette Midler writing: "THANK YOU, #COLORADO!"

"The first state in the Union to throw #Trump off the ballot!!" the 78-year-old singer wrote.

Why Was Trump Removed From the Colorado 2024 Election Ballot?

In August, Trump was indicted for his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 general election results. The real estate magnate was accused of motivating the January 6 riots, in which a horde of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol building in an attempt to block Joe Biden's victory.

Trump faces four felony charges including conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding and conspiracy against rights. He is appealing the indictment.

The lawsuit is one of four legal battles Trump is currently facing, with the business mogul fighting 91 charges across four jurisdictions.

Despite the Colorado ruling and his ongoing legal struggles, Trump is leading by a wide margin in the Republican presidential primaries. According to polling analysis website FiveThirtyEight, the property tycoon is polling at 62 percent, with nearest rival Ron DeSantis trailing at 12 percent.
