Casey Affleck Was “Appalled” to Learn His Production Company Donated to the Trump Campaign

By James St. James on February 27, 2017 2:58 pm

Problematic Oscar winner Casey Affleck recently discovered his film and television production company, The Affleck/Middleton Project, donated $5,000 to Donald Trump’s presidential transition efforts. He tells BuzzFeed News, however, that he is “in dismay” and “was not aware of the donation.”

“I am appalled that a donation may have been made in my company’s name by someone I work with,” Affleck told BuzzFeed. “I had no knowledge of it, was never asked, and never would have authorized it. I will get to the bottom of it. The policies of the Trump administration, and the values they represent, are antithetical to everything I believe in.”

He is a vocal opponent of Trump and his administration, telling the Independent Spirit Awards crowd just this weekend:

“The policies of this administration are abhorrent and they won’t last. They’re really un-American,” the actor said.

The mixup came from his Affleck/Middleton partner producer John Powers Middleton.

Via IndieWire:

While Affleck opposes the president’s policies, his business partner is a known supporter of the Republican Party who reportedly donated $220,000 to a pro-Trump super-PAC.

Seems… like it would be strained relationship to me. Might want to rethink that going forward…
