“I have to say, actually, Kelsey Grammer himself was perfectly happy to go on talking about it,” Webb said.

“The Paramount+ PR people, less happy that he talked about it at some length,” he continued.

“They decided that we’d had plenty of time for our interview. But I should stress that he was absolutely perfectly happy to talk about why he supports Donald Trump and still does in the coming election,” added Webb.

The Post has contacted Paramount+ and Grammer’s representatives for comment.

Grammer has been outspoken about his views on politics in the past as well.

He previously shared publicly that he voted for Trump in both 2016 and 2020 but that his affection former president has not affected his career in a negative way.

He added that he considers all politicians to be clowns.

“I think they’ve all been sort of the same party, the same bunch of clowns, the same bunch of really unpleasant people,: Grammer said. “And I don’t think they’ve been helping anybody but themselves.””
