John Schneider to Newsmax: ‘It’s Wonderful’ Christians ‘No Longer Timid’

Actor and filmmaker John Schneider, best known for his portrayal of Beauregard “Bo” Duke in the TV show “The Dukes of Hazzard,” told Newsmax Wednesday, “It’s wonderful” that Christians are “no longer timid” with a bold and unapologetic leader in the White House like President Donald Trump.

“It’s wonderful that we’re seeing this; it’s wonderful that we’re no longer timid,” Schneider said on “National Report.” “You know, being a Christian was kind of like being a Republican. You whispered it. … You didn’t put this hat on, right? … You whispered your faith; you whispered your Christianity; you whispered your conservatism. But now, as I like to say, it’s their turn to whisper. We have the floor. This is a filibuster that is never going to end.”

He added, “We are not going to allow the enemy — and I mean the enemy of freedom, the enemy of free thought, the enemy of community — we’re not going to allow that to take over again. We can’t. We did drop the ball. I applaud President Trump and his administration and everyone who is now no longer whispering that they are Christian or no longer whispering that they are Americans, no longer whispering that they are conservatives; I applaud all of that.”
