Actress Jennifer Lawrence acknowledged that trashing Republicans and smearing President Trump during his first term did not change the way that people vote and divided the country. Some celebrities' careers have suffered as a result of their actions, affecting the industry. She said that she is holding back her opinions, but is instead trying to "express my politics through my work."

Actress Jennifer Lawrence spent years pushing left-wing policies, trashing Republicans, and smearing President Donald Trump. Now she says it is beginning to dawn on her that celebrities constantly spouting off about politics not only hurts the film industry, it is "ripping the country apart."

Appearing on The Interview podcast sponsored by the New York Times, Lawrence said she is regretting her past attacks on Donald Trump and Republicans.

When the podcast host tried to steer the 35-year-old Mother star toward her thoughts on politics, the actress demurred.
