Actress Melissa Joan Hart: Endorsing Romney Led to ‘Unbelievable’ Hatred

Melissa Joan Hart: Romney Tweet Led To 'Unbelievable' Hate (The Huffington Post)

On Nov. 5, 2012, one night before the 2012 presidential election, actress Melissa Joan Hart posted to Twitter that Republican candidate Mitt Romney had secured her vote.

As Hart told HuffPost Live host Mike Sacks on Wednesday, the response was far from positive.

"I got called every name in the book," Hart revealed. "[People wrote] that they hope I die, and that they hope my children are gay, which is somehow supposed to be some sort of punishment. [...] The hate was really unbelievable just from that simple tweet. Just by saying I was voting."

Hart has never been shy about her political views, this despite the fact that she thinks there's a prejudice in Hollywood against conservatives.
