In September 2015, Kirstie Alley outed herself as a Donald Trump supporter on the social media platform that the ex-prez once couldn’t get enough of. “I like Trump … fire at will,” she tweeted. She had been watching Trump on “60 Minutes” and was unhappy with interviewer Scott Pelley’s performance. “Pelley acting like an antagonist a**hat,” she complained. In March 2016, Alley praised Trump again during an interview with Fox Business. “I want someone that will rev us up and make us pay attention,” she said. “Donald Trump, whether you like him or don’t, he’s waking this country up.”

By the following month, Alley had seen enough. In addition to going all in on Trump, she praised his future fellow election denier, Rudy Giuliani. “HELLO BOYS! this is my formal endorsement of @realDonaldTrump & I’m a woman! (last I checked) And Rudy, U R amazing!” Alley tweeted. While her words were seemingly meant to encourage other women to feel more comfortable about voting for Trump, she wavered in her own support for the GOP candidate in October 2016. At the time, Trump was taking a ton of heat for his past comments about women, thanks to that infamous “Access Hollywood” tape in which he brags about grabbing women by the genitals, per The Washington Post. “I hate this election and I’m officially no longer endorsing either candidate,” Alley tweeted after the vulgar video started making the rounds.
