“I don't vote. No, I don't vote. I don't get involved in politics. It's meaningless. To be honest,” he said. “If I'm going to say I stand behind this person and write on a piece of paper that says, 'Yeah I stand for this person,' then I have to take responsibility for everything he does cause that's just who I am as a human being.”
