Kelsey Grammer and his co-star Danielle de Niese appeared on Radio 4’s Today show to talk about their hit musical 'Man of La Mancha', which is being revived by English National Opera.
Though the discussion was supposed to centre on the show, Grammer veered off course when he talked about Brexit and his support of Trump, before launching into a critique of the "left".
Though he voted for Donald Trump in the general elections, he began by insisting he isn't a "big government guy".
He said: "I’m a conservative. I have been for a long time. I’m not a big government guy."
The presenter went on to ask him if he'd changed his mind about Trump given all the controversy around the US president?
The presenter swiftly moved the conversation back on track to their show, but for Twitter users, the damage was already done.
People are disappointed. Like, a lot.
Others pointed out that his right wing views aren't new...
