Brad Pitt's Mom Pens Anti-Obama Op-Ed
While President Obama enjoys support from many Hollywood stars, the same apparently can't be said for the parent of one A-lister.
Brad Pitt's mom Jane Pitt's op-ed in Missouri's Springfield News-Leader addresses another piece that said Christians have the right to refuse to vote for presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney because he's a Mormon.
Mrs. Pitt, who identifies herself as a Christian, writes, "Any Christian should spend much time in prayer before refusing to vote for a family man with high morals, business experience, who is against abortion, and shares Christian conviction concerning homosexuality just because he is a Mormon."
Celebrities Endorse Politicians
Mrs. Pitt continues, "Any Christian who does not vote or writes in a name is casting a vote for Romney's opponent, Barack Hussein Obama - a man who sat in Jeremiah Wright's church for years, did not hold a public ceremony to mark the National Day of Prayer, and is a liberal who supports the killing of unborn babies and same-sex marriage."
Though Brad Pitt has told The Hollywood Reporter in the past, "I'm an Obama supporter, no question," he also has seemed amused at his mom's ability to attract gossip headlines. "She's very, very loving - very open, genuine, and it's hilarious because she always gets painted in the tabloids as a she-devil. There's not an ounce of malice in her. She wants everyone to be happy," he once said of Jane Pitt.
Incidentally, before he got engaged to Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt had said he would not get married unless everyone in the country - including gay couples - had the right to do so.
