Megan Fox seems to be a Trump fan!

According to TheDailyWire:

Actress Megan Fox is blasting the “pitchfork” mob following backlash she received for merely discussing the enthusiastic crowd reaction to former President Donald Trump at Sunday’s UFC fight.

As highlighted by The Daily Wire, Fox detailed earlier this week on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” how Trump was greeted by fans “like a legend” at the Conor McGregor-Dustin Poirier fight in Las Vegas:

“He was a legend,” Fox told “Jimmy Kimmel Live” guest host Arsenio Hall. “That arena was, like, very supportive of Trump when he came in.”

Fox attended the event with boyfriend rapper Machine Gun Kelly, real name Colson Baker.

Other high-profile celebrities, like musician Justin Bieber and actor Mel Gibson, were at the fight, too. But it was Trump, Fox suggested, who drew the most attention.

“I was in a row with Bieber — Trump was also in my row,” she told Hall. “And I’ve never seen a Secret Service person before. So, he had like 30 Secret Service with him. He was a legend. That arena was, like, very supportive of Trump when he came in.”

The actress, seemingly joking, said she doesn’t know how she personally feels about the seating arrangement, as she was far more concerned about her own safety if the former president were to be a “target.”

“I was like, ‘I don’t know how I feel about this, because if someone is a target, then I’m like, I could get harmed because I am like adjacent to where he is.’ So, I was worried about my own safety, that’s all I was caring about,” Fox said.

In an Instagram story, Fox clarified her remarks, which were misreported by some outlets, and blasted critics for their “burn-a-witch-at-the-stake mentality.”

“Uhmmm … I do not align myself with any political party or individual politicians,” Fox wrote.
