The Left doesn't like opposing viewpoints. That's not news. But what's really telling is the way the Left treats people from typically Left-leaning groups who don't toe their political line. Whether it's women or Blacks or actors, the Left thinks they own these groups and their votes -- and they get downright nasty when someone strays from the flock.
This writer has been a fan of Zachary Levi since he starred on 'Chuck', and -- even though she doesn't know him personally -- he seems like a genuinely nice guy.
But he's committed the ultimate political sin: he supports Donald Trump. Doing that publicly takes guts, because it'll likely cost him jobs and friendships (cause Hollywood isn't exactly a bastion of tolerance).
And here's Variety proving the point by publishing this nasty high-school mean girl piece from a former co-star of Levi's:
“I never liked him," Laura Benanti says of Zachary Levi. "Everyone was like, ‘He’s so great!’ And I was like, ‘No, he’s not. He’s sucking up all the f---ing energy in this room. He wants to mansplain everybody’s part to them.'” https://t.co/tIS9jszVaB

This writer also really likes movies and Broadway and has never heard of Laura Benanti, for what it's worth.
This is what happens when you have the stones to break the narrative.

Hold the line, Zachary
Hold the line.
Who's Laurie Benanti? Serious question.

Exactly.
It sounds like she’s just bitter and unhappy. This article makes her sound non-credible. Was that the intent of the article?

To smear Levi. Nothing more.
Are there still people who don't know that the second someone uses the term mansplain they are a childish dimwit with nothing to offer?

Mansplain: He was smarter and more articulate, and I'm mad
There is no such thing as 'mansplaining.'
It's a word hypersensitive women use when they don't want men talking to them.
Dear Variety, you guys are despicable hatemongers. You have helped poison the industry Hold the line Zachary, you are a hero.

Yes, he is.
I’ve heard of @ZacharyLevi. However, I’ve never hear of Laura Benanti. The era of attacking past co-stars as a means to impress the judges at the Victim Olympics is over. It does not result in more work. In fact, it simply telegraphs one’s capacity to torpedo projects, past,… https://t.co/LXIAaux59Z

All of this.
She's clearly mad at his vaccine stance but has nothing specifically bad to say about him so it's just vague gobbledygook with "mansplaining" thrown in there because that one always works with no details necessary. https://t.co/3JatjSYc3y pic.twitter.com/TUCelf7dD7

And Variety decided to run with this.
If everyone liked him and you didn’t, maybe… I dunno… you’re the problem? https://t.co/nI5tWHHNIs

Yeah, she might be the problem here.
This writer is willing to bet Levi will have nothing but nice things to say about Benanti, proving that he's the good guy and the bigger person.
