Ellen Page rails against GOP presidential candidates Cruz and Huckabee
Don’t expect Ellen Page to donate time, or money, to the campaigns of Ted Cruz or Mike Huckabee. In an interview with the Daily Beast, the out actress pointed to the anti-gay positions both of the Republican presidential candidates share.
‘To me, it seems like they’re homophobic people,’ the Juno star said. ‘I’ve seen multiple videos and read multiple quotes of Ted Cruz discussing gay issues, as well as Mike Huckabee, and it goes exactly as you’d expect.
‘They don’t answer the question. They say you’re cutting them off when you try to ask the same question again because you’re not answering it, because the reality is that they might be homophobic.’
The video of the 28-year-old confronting Cruz about his discrimination of LGBTI people, in the name of ‘religious freedom,’ went viral earlier this summer.
Page, as to be expected, is not a fan of Kentucky clerk Kim Davis. She compared the state employee, who Cruz and Huckabee enthusiastically support, to 1960 officials battling against racial equality.
‘The same religious liberty arguments have been used to discriminate with regards to gender and race,’ she said. ‘It’s not new. That being said, has religion been used for propelling beautiful movements? Of course. But this is not new, and it’s destructive, and it’s sad.’
