“She has been exposed to propaganda. She’s been influenced by antisemitic people. Angie has a connection to the U.N., and she’s enjoyed speaking out for refugees. But these people are not refugees,” Jon said to Variety.
He later spoke about his love for Angelina.
“I love my daughter — that’s No. 1. I am happy when Angie is happy,” he shared.
Variety noted at this point, his eyes starting getting teary. “When she’s having a tough time, I’m having a tough time. When she is down, I’m down,” he added.
Jon and Angelina were actually estranged years ago, but did reconcile.
Jon also spoke about his support for Donald Trump. About 25 celebrities have endorsed Trump for President in 2024.
“I’ve been the most outspoken supporter of Donald Trump in Hollywood. I’ve been saying he’s the answer, the only answer. Now, after this, maybe they will look at Jon Voight in a different way. If Donald Trump is being revealed in this way, maybe they will see a supporter like me in a different light,” he shared. About President Joe Biden‘s debate performance, he added, “It’s a disgrace, all the drugs and steroids they’ve been shooting him up with.”
