West Hollywood City Council passes resolution to remove Trump Walk of Fame star By Victor Morton - The Washington Times - Monday, August 6, 2018
The West Hollywood City Council called Monday night for President Trump’s star be removed from the Hollywood Walk of Fame, according to a tweet by the city’s mayor.
“West Hollywood City council unanimously passes resolution asking the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce to remove the Donald Trump star on Hollywood Walk of Fame,” cheered Mayor John Duran on Twitter.
During the meeting, Mr. Duran said the resolution “is not because of his conservative politics or his conservative policies. It is for the abuse of women, minorities, immigrants, the disabled … you’ve crossed a line of decency.”
He also said the constituent comments were what he expected (badly) of Trump supporters.
“Unfortunately some of the comments made by the Trump supporters tonight are a reflection of that anger and angst and divisiveness. If anyone ever needed to solidify my vote on this, the Trump supporters who showed up tonight … pretty much solidified that what we’re doing is right.”
The Council put the resolution on its “consent calendar” for what it describes as “routine matters [that] can be acted on by one motion.”
The vote, which was live-streamed on YouTube, was largely symbolic, simply making a request of the Los Angeles City Council and Hollywood Chamber of Commerce to remove the marker, which was unveiled in 2007.
The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce said in the context of similar demands regarding comedian Bill Cosby’s star that it would never remove a star, saying the Walk is a historical landmark.
“Once a star has been added to the walk, it is considered a part of the historic fabric of the Hollywood Walk of Fame,” said Leron Gubler, then the chamber’s president and CEO. “Because of this, we have never removed a star from the walk.”
Still, John D’Amico, the city’s mayor pro tempore, said “getting a star is a privilege, not a right.”
The Trump star has been vandalized numerous times and destroyed twice.
ZitatGet ready for "Star Wars: The Sidewalk Strikes Back."
Following news that the West Hollywood City Council voted on Monday to call for the removal of Donald Trump's oft-vandalized star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, "Star Wars" actor Mark Hamill came forth to offer a replacement for the space: His deceased co-star, Carrie Fisher.
"How about replacing it with someone who really earned it? Like @carrieffisher," Hamill tweeted in response to the news.
While Hamill was honored with his own Walk of Fame star in March, and Trump scored a spot on the walkway in 2007, a search of the Walk of Fame's database reveals no such distinction for Fisher, who died in December 2016 at age 60.
Zitat"The West Hollywood City Council did not pass the resolution because Donald Trump is a conservative or a Republican," West Hollywood Mayor Pro Tem John D'Amico told TheWrap. "Earning a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is an honor. When one belittles and attacks minorities, immigrants, people with disabilities or women — the honor no longer exists."
But slipping women roofies and then raping them? Not a problem in West Hollywood.

Rosie O’Donnell Claims Trump Rallies Are Filled With Paid Supporters
Agreed Cincinnatus!
Jealous disinformation by Rosie the Liar. I've been to two rallies and nope,, never! Did they also pay thousands of Trump supporters who couldn't get in to wait outside? Trump is too smart a businessman to run for office by paying people to attend his rallies.
Trump isn't Hillary. It's Hillary who would have benefited from busing in some supporters for her pathetically attended rallies.
Hillary who?
