A star-studded Hollywood fundraiser to aid hurricane victims unsurprisingly became a political soapbox for the A-list cast.

Hollywood rolled out its top celebrities Tuesday for the live broadcast of “Hand in Hand: A Benefit for Hurricane Relief,” which was aimed at raising funds for victims of Hurricane Harvey which ravaged Texas and the Houston area, and Hurricane Irma, which slammed into Florida over the weekend.

But no gathering of liberal celebrities would be complete without endless political jabs and hot air aimed at President Trump and anyone else who does not agree with their left wing religion.

Right out of the gate, Stevie Wonder began the show calling for everyone to come together and “to love” those affected by the storms, regardless of “political persuasions. He followed this with a political statement.

“Anyone who believes there is no such thing as global warming must be blind or unintelligent,” he said, using the moment to polarize a nation he just invited to come together.

Way to undermine the objective of the telethon by alienating half the country in the first 30 seconds. — Cousin Jimmy (@JC7U) September 13, 2017

He literally said there is no politics in hurricanes, then called people who don’t believe in global warming blind and unintelligent. Wow. — Peter (@eyebleedblue77) September 13, 2017

Houston native, Beyoncé, wasn’t far behind.

“During a time when it’s impossible to watch the news without seeing violence or racism in this country. Just when you think it couldn’t possibly be worse, natural disasters take precious life, do massive damage, and forever change lives,” she said in a pre-recorded video.

“The effects of climate change are playing out around the world everyday,” she continued, pointing an accusing finger at climate change as the cause behind the hurricanes, the recent earthquake in Mexico and a monsoon in India.

The political posturing may not have reached the level of the 2005 telethon for victims of Hurricane Katrina, but the tone was there. That event was famously hijacked at one point by Kanye West’s infamous rant against former President George W. Bush.

“George Bush doesn’t care about black people,” West said with Mike Meyers, seeming stunned, stood by on stage.

With live feeds in Los Angeles, New York, Nashville, and San Antonio, celebrities like George Clooney, Barbra Streisand, Julia Roberts, Drake, Luke Bryan, Dennis Quaid, Adam Sandler, Terry Crews, Leonardo DiCaprio, Gwen Stefani, Ray Romano,, Cher and Tom Hanks either spoke, performed or even manned a phone during the hour-long telethon.

?Just got the word, over 15 MILLION was raised tonight. You guys are AMAZING!!!! Had such a good time speaking to all of you. #HandinHand pic.twitter.com/BjxwWQaPrs — NICKI MINAJ (@NICKIMINAJ) September 13, 2017

But the underlying political tone was apparent as Trump’s immigration and climate change views seemed to provide the subtext for the charitable do-good message from many of the celebrities.

Many viewers were frustrated, however, that celebrities would pollute the message of compassion, calls for prayer and coming together amidst images of hurricane devastation and shattered lives of victims.
