         Hollywood actor and the father of Angelina Jolie, Jon Voight, has shared a video on social media promoting a pro-Trump conspiracy theory about the US election result.The 81-year-old, who is an outspoken supporter of Donald Trump, shared the video late on Tuesday where he called the election a sham and a lie because Joe Biden had won.Voight says that he is "disgusted with this lie that Biden has been chosen as if we don't all know the truth" and seemingly adding a threat to the people that celebrated Biden's being named as president-elect on Saturday. "There will be a price to pay. The ones who are jumping for joy now are jumping toward the horror they will be in for. I know the promises being made from the left to the American people will never come to be.\" He then goes on to reference the American civil war and Satan and calls members of the left 'evil' and has a desire to 'tear down this nation.' " My friends from all colors, races and religions, this is now our greatest fight since the civil war or the battle or righteousness versus Satan because these leftists are evil, corrupt and want to tear down this nation. We must not allow this. We must fight this corruption that has taken over and fight for the good that seems lost." Voight then goes on to talk about the voter fraud that the Trump administration has been touting, without any evidence, and for Trump supporters to put their faith in God." Let us give our trust to God and fight now for Trump's victory because we all know that this ballot count is corruption like they are so let us not back down. Let us fight this fight as if it is our last fight on Earth." He ends by quoting the great boxer and civil rights activist Muhammad Ali.
         "As Muhammad Ali said 'it's not over until the last punch you have.'" It's unclear what Voight means when he is encouraging others to 'fight' but he did add a caption to the video reading 'we all know the truth.' Voight has been a passionate supporter of Trump for many years, previously calling Trump the greatest president since Abraham Lincoln. He has also said that 'racism was solved long ago' in a defence of the president and that efforts to impeachment the president were 'evil.' His daughter, Angelina Jolie has had a tumultuous relationship with her father but they have begun to make amends with each other in recent years and have found a common ground in the arts. That being said, the two have vastly different political ideologies. Speaking to the Hollywood Reporter in 2017 she said:"We're finding a new relationship...We've had some difficulties, [but] through art we've been able to talk. It's the common language. We don't really talk politics well. We talk art very well." The Trump administration has so far refused to recognise the results of the election and that Biden is now the president-elect claiming that the Democrats committed voter fraud in the states that Biden successfully flipped. Despite this, Trump's team have thus far been unable to produce any evidence of fraud and have already had several legal cases dismissed.

         He's been slowly mending their estranged and tumultuous relationship since his daughter Angelina Jolie's divorce from Brad Pitt in 2016. And now Jon Voight has spoken out about how his daughter and the family are going amid their ongoing custody battle over their six kids.Speaking to Us Weekly, the 80-year-old said he 'prays' for the entire family, including Brad, and vowed 'everybody's gonna be OK'. 'She's [Angelina's] a very invested mom. She's on it. She's on it with these kids. She gives them love every second of their day,' he began. 'I pray for all the members of the family - Brad as well. Everybody's gonna be OK. That's it.' The grandfather to Maddox, 17, Pax, 15, Zahara, 14, Shiloh, 12, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 10, confirmed that the kids, Angelina as well as himself are are happy and healthy despite the ugly family breakdown. Jon continued to gush over his grand kids, revealing they all have their special qualities and all really make him laugh. 'I can really laugh at these guys. They make me laugh, they're funny. They tease me and all of that,' he gushed. 'I could talk a day or two about each of them actually because it's very interesting, their personalities. Very rich personalities with different surprises in them, you know?'According to an article in The Hollywood Reporter in December 2017, Angelina began to bury the hatchet with her father following her divorce from Brad the year before.
         She said on the THR Awards Chatter Podcast at the time: 'Jon and I have gotten to know each other - through grandchildren now and we're finding a new relationship. ' 'We've had some difficulties, [but] through art we've been able to talk. It's the common language.' Angelina and Jon's relationship came to a head back in 2002 when he gave an interview to Access Hollywood and claimed that she had 'serious mental problems' following her split from actor husband Billy Bob Thornton.  The interview led to the Gia star legally dropping 'Voight' from her name - even though she wasn't using it professionally. 'I didn't want to walk into a room as 'Jon's' daughter,' she explained on the podcast.  And it appears as though the pair are taking baby steps with Angelina adding: 'We don't really talk politics well. We talk art very well.'

           "Jon and I have gotten to know each other — through grandchildren now — [and] we're finding a new relationship," says Jolie on THR's Awards Chatter podcast.Angelina Jolie's off-again,on-again relationship with her father, actor Jon Voight, is on again."Jon and I have gotten to know each other — through grandchildren now — [and] we're finding a new relationship," the 42-year-old actress, who is promoting her fourth directorial effort, First They Killed My Father, tells Scott Feinberg on THR's Awards Chatter podcast (which can be downloaded via THR.com/TheRace). "We've had some difficulties, [but] through art we've been able to talk. It's the common language." Their difficulties reached a nadir in 2002, shortly after Voight and Jolie starred together as father and daughter in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, when Voight gave an interview to Access Hollywood and claimed that Jolie had "serious mental problems." Jolie responded by legally dropping "Voight" from her name, though she had never used it professionally ("I wanted to have my own identity — I didn't want to walk into a room as 'Jon's daughter,'" she explains).For now, though, Jolie and her famously conservative dad seem to have figured out the secret of keeping filial peace. "We don't really talk politics well," she says. "We talk art very well."
