Angelina Jolies Dad And Conservative Media Defend Jane Pitt Against The Liberal Double Standard
Brad Pitts father-in-law-to-be Jon Voight spoke out in defense of the superstars mother, Jane, who has come under intense fire because she wrote a letter to her local newspaper expressing conservative Christian social viewsand a preference for Mitt Romney over President Barack Obama.
Academy Award-winner Voight, is more than just Angelina Jolies dad, hes also one of Hollywoods most reliable conservative voices. On Tuesday, he flatly told Fox News that he agrees with Jane Pitts views. Good for her for expressing them, Voight said.
The controversy concerning Pitts mom arose after she wrote a letter to Missouris Springfield News-Leader in which she described Obama as a liberal who supports the killing of unborn babies and same-sex marriage. The paradox is that Jane Pitts missive was intended as a plea for tolerance and a response to another News-Leader correspondent who argued that Christians should not vote for Romney because hes a Mormon. The stars mother argued that fellow Christians should give prayerful consideration to supporting the presumptive GOP nominee, who she called a man of high morals whose values she contrasted with those of Obama.
Because of her famous son, the roof fell in, and Pitt quickly found herself being reviled as a homophobe.
