Taylor Sheridan might be known worldwide as one of the best screenwriters in the entertainment industry, but he is also infamous for his political views. The actor, writer, director, and producer is known for writing some of the finest projects of all time, including his hit Paramount show,Yellowstone. Despite the acclaim he has received, Sheridan is also criticized for his representation of women, Indigenous people, and more.

Back some while ago in 2022, Kevin Costner came under fire thanks to his political views. The aftermath was such that even the devoutYellowstonebase turned on him. In light of his lead star’s controversial stance, even the unabashed Sheridan, who does not seem to be deterred by criticism, was quick to dismiss his opinions on Donald Trump.

Back in 2017, Sheridan infamously made some cruel remarks about then-PresidentDonald Trumpin aninterview, stating,

Can we just impeach that motherf**ker right now? Like what are we—I don’t understand … It’s just, it’s so embarrassing.

Despite often being undeterred, Sheridan later dismissed his comments in another controversial interview withThe Atlantic, by claiming that he was tired and famished after endless press junkets.

I don’t recall that… I was mad about everything. Twelve-hour press junkets with no food or water will do that to you.

Back in 2022,Kevin Costnerwas spotted wearing anI’M FOR LIZ CHENEYwhen the Republican voiced her opinion over Trump, the Capitol attacks, and more (viaUSA Today). This led to significant backlash from theMake America Great Againfans, who were quick to call him out.

Subsequently, the actor was labeled as a fake cowboy, a hypocrite, an elitist, and more (via The Atlantic). Even theYellowstonefan base did not spare him and called him out for his views. In the midst of all this, it is understandable, if, such a controversy caused Sheridan to backtrack on his views. After all, even a show likeYellowstonewould have had much to lose if its creator had kicked off another wave of backlash when the storm surrounding its lead star’s political views was still to settle down.

Yellowstonecan be streamed on Peacock.
