Sen. Ted Cruz Appearance Has Hollywood Group on Edge

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Hollywood Reporter:

Some members of a Hollywood organization are questioning whether to honor Ted Cruz.

 

The Caucus for Producers, Writers & Directors this year chose the conservative Senator from Texas as one of its recipients of its annual "American Spirit Award." Another is to go to liberal Calif. governor Jerry Brown.

 

The Caucus, founded three decades ago by Norman Lear, Aaron Spelling and others, has set a meeting Monday to determine whether to stick with its plan to give a Spirit award to Cruz after some of its more liberal members objected to the selection, and some threatened to quit if the decision wasn't reversed.

 

Insiders say Leonard Hill, an Emmy-nominated producer of TV movies, is spearheading the effort within the Caucus to reconsider the award for Cruz, who is set to receive it at a ceremony in April.

 

Caucus chairman Norman Powell confirmed Monday's planned meeting but had no other comment.

 

Powell himself once briefly quit the organization over political bias coming from the other direction, when it was revealed that several members had inserted liberal messages into their TV shows and even objected when conservatives were hired in the entertainment industry.

If I were Ted Cruz I'd tell Leonard Hill to go F himself if he doesn't think an Hispanic should get their award.

 

BTW Where is La Raza? Aren't they suppose to defend Hispanic Americans?
