Later, she publicly opposed Hugo Chavez&#8217; destruction of the economy of that country. So she&#8217;s fairly conservative in her political leanings, mainly because of her experiences in life, you know, like most conservatives. It shouldn&#8217;t be that big of a surprise that she&#8217;d support conservative candidates, but apparently it was;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The actress was to perform next month at the Brava Theater Center in San Francisco\u2019s Mission District in a Spanish-language version of \u201cThe Vagina Monologues,\u201d scheduled for a run from February 14th through 17th. The show is being produced by none other than Eliana Lopez, wife of San Francisco Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe really cannot have her in the show, unfortunately,\u201d Lopez told KPIX 5. She said Alonso abruptly resigned from the cast on Friday, given the backlash on the immigration issue.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course she has the right to say whatever she wants. But we\u2019re in the middle of the Mission. Doing what she is doing is against what we believe,\u201d Lopez said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Apparently, she needs to get her ass back on the plantation if she wants to work. I also saw the link to this story on Nick Searcy&#8217;s Facebook page. Nick Searcy is another conservative in Hollywood who gets shit for not being a liberal (he plays the chief of a US Marshall&#8217;s Office in &#8220;Justified&#8221;).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Added:<\/strong> In this interview with El Gordo y La Flacca, a show on Spanish-language channel Univision, Maria says that the reason that she supports Donnelly is that he isn&#8217;t &#8220;anti-immigration&#8221;, he&#8217;s &#8220;anti-illegal immigration&#8221;, that he himself is married to a Philippine woman and his own kids are married to Mexicans. The distinction is that Maria and Donnelly oppose those who break the law to get into the country, however, the Latino community doesn&#8217;t make that distinction.<\/p>\n<p>The video below the jump autostarts;<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\n<iframe width='500' height='300' src='http:\/\/entretenimiento.univision.com\/el-gordo-y-la-flaca\/el-gordo-y-la-flaca-videos\/video\/2014-01-17\/por-que-apoya-a-un-politico-anti-inmigrante\/embed' scrolling='no' frameborder='0' allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ROS sends us a link to an article at a San Francisco CBS station in regards &hellip; <a title=\"SF art community disses Maria Conchita Alonso\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=39372\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">SF art community disses Maria Conchita Alonso<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[478],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-39372","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-none"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39372","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=39372"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39372\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=39372"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=39372"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=39372"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
