It appears the recent midterm results won’t stop MAGA celebrity Jim Caviezel from voicing his allegiance to President Trump. The California-based actor is refusing to soften his support for Donald Trump, declaring that he loves the president even as Republicans suffer a historic midterm election defeat.
The Passion of the Christ star, best known for playing Jesus Christ, made the declaration in an interview with Real America’s Voice, insisting his admiration for Trump goes beyond simply voting for him. “I don’t just vote for Trump, I LOVE the man,” Caviezel said.
He also credited Trump with fighting child trafficking and used the interview to defend his religious convictions, including his opposition to abortion. “We need to stop killing the babies!” the actor declared, while describing the backlash that performers can face for expressing conservative political views while also condemning Hollywood’s criticism of Trump.
“You’re not thanked, you’re spit upon. They will wound you,” Caviezel said, portraying his continued support for Trump as an act of defiance against Hollywood’s perceived hostility toward conservatives. His comments come just days after Republicans suffered a major midterm election defeat, losing control of both the House and Senate to Democrats.
Caviezel has previously made headlines for his outspoken support of Trump and his religious comparisons involving the president. In July 2023, while promoting Sound of Freedom, the actor appeared on Fox & Friends and described Trump as “the new Moses.” Caviezel argued that Trump needed to return to the White House to pursue human traffickers, drawing a biblical comparison between the former president and Moses demanding freedom for his people.
Caviezel’s Trump Support Drew Criticism
As expected, the actor’s latest remarks have attracted both praise and criticism online. “Jim Caviezel is a class act. Even better….a TRUE PATRIOT!” one Trump supporter wrote on X. Another commented: “You are not alone, intelligent Americans really do love Donald Trump.”
However, critics questioned how Caviezel reconciles his Christian beliefs with his political support. “Jim Caviezel says he believes in Jesus, yet he supports a man who, according to his own words, would be willing to wipe out an entire civilization,” one user argued. Another described the actor as a “brilliant actor and artist” but said he appeared lost.
Meanwhile, others had to remind the actor of certain allegations against Trump, with one critic stating, “Have you actually heard of Geoffrey Epstein? Do you realize Trump’s involvement? Do you realize Trump is a convicted rapist?” Another mocked Caviezel’s declaration with a sarcastic comparison: “Crack addict is REFUSING to back down on support for crack. ‘I don’t just do crack, I LOVE crack’.”
Trump had made himself the face of the Republican campaign but has since indicated he is willing to work with Democrats. Nevertheless, Caviezel’s supporters appeared equally unwilling to abandon the president. Despite the electoral setback, Caviezel is making it clear that his political and religious convictions are not changing.
