Angelina Jolie’s father, Jon Voight, celebrated Donald Trump’s historic victory against Kamala Harris at a party with Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
The Oscar winner, 85, who is one of Trump’s most outspoken supporters in Hollywood, appeared in an Instagram slideshow shared by Sanders, 42, after Republicans won the presidential race and flipped the control of the Senate.
In the image he can be seen with Sanders, who smiled radiantly at the camera, inside a party held at Trump’s private club, Mar-a-Lago, which was also attended by Elon Musk, Caitlyn Jenner, Tiffany Trump, Barron Trump, Eric Trump and Don Jr.
During Trump’s first presidency, he awarded Voight the National Medal of Arts and the National Medal of Humanities.
Over the years, Voight has publicly praised Trump and criticized the Biden administration.
Angelina Jolie’s father, Jon Voight, celebrated Donald Trump’s historic victory against Kamala Harris at a party with Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
Following the end of Trump’s presidency in January 2021, Voight shared a video in which he addressed his “fellow Americans.”
‘We will not cry, but let us thank President Trump for his four years of hard work and love for America. Let’s not lower our heads, let’s get up and look towards a better future. Let us praise God. Let’s understand that his plan is much bigger,’ he said.
In the recording, he also acknowledged the deadly riot in which Trump supporters were forced past Capitol security just as the Senate was in the process of voting to confirm the electoral college votes.
‘I know everyone is disappointed, but this violence is not who we are. We are love, respect, honor. “Those who destroyed will be held accountable, but those who truly wanted to share love and respect will be heard,” he continued.
Voight concluded the article by stating, “Let’s put aside our differences and let America grow.” Let us be proud again and we, as a nation, will hold on to the love that President Trump shared with us all. This is not over. The truths of justice will prevail for the glory of God as well. I love you.’
In July 2024, he criticized his once-separated daughter’s continued support for the Palestinians.
“She’s been exposed to propaganda,” he told Variety. ‘She has been influenced by anti-Semitic people. Angie has a connection with the UN and likes to speak up for refugees. But these people are not refugees.”
Voight then claimed that Jolie “has no idea what’s going on” and that those who oppose her right-wing political views are “very wrong.”

‘I love my daughter. “I don’t want to fight with my daughter,” he told the outlet. ‘But the fact is that I think she has been influenced by the UN. From the beginning, the situation with human rights has been terrible. They call it human rights, but it’s not more than an attack against Israel.
He went on to insist that “she doesn’t know what the real risks are and what the real story is because she’s aware of the United Nations.”
Variety noted that he spoke of Jolie’s “ignorance” on numerous occasions and even compared the comments to a “candidate going after an opponent in a 30-second ad.”
Meanwhile, a source close to the actress told the outlet that she wishes her father “the best” but chooses not to “speak about him publicly.”
In July 2024, she criticized her once-estranged daughter’s continued support for the Palestinians and accused her of being “exposed to propaganda” and under the influence of “anti-Semitic people” (pictured in August 2024).
The couple has had a rocky relationship over the years, but reconciled in the 2010s.
‘It’s wonderful for me to spend time with Angie. Every five minutes I get, I’m always grateful, so it’s great to be able to come and spend some time with her, and the kids too,” Voight told The Hollywood Reporter in 2019.
