Famous American actress Angelina Jolie spoke out candidly on September 22 while promoting her new film at the San Sebastian Film Festival in Spain, when asked by the media about the current state of freedom of speech in the U.S., saying: “I don’t recognize my country.”
Recently, U.S. President Trump has engaged in direct clashes with the media. After pressure from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), ABC Television suspended the long-running talk show “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” Even though the White House emphasized that it had nothing to do with Trump, large numbers of protesters still took to the streets in protest, and many talk show hosts have voiced their support.
In her interview, Jolie said: “I love my country, but right now, I do not recognize my country.” She further added, “Any act that divides or restricts personal expression and freedom, no matter where it occurs, I think is extremely dangerous.”
