Not too surprising, given his high-profile status as a Democrat; he donated money to Hillary Clinton‘s campaign back in 2008 and was the reason Zach Galifianakis was able to get President Barack Obama on his fake talk show Between Two Ferns.
But since playing Republican icon Chris Kyle in American Sniper, the talented actor has attracted a whole new group of fans that didn’t take too kindly to his DNC appearance.
A few conservatives even announced they would be boycotting the star’s films, writing:

Fellow Democrat and Frozen star Josh Gad had the best response to the backlash, tweeting:
