“Me and Frank always talk politics,” Underwood told WJCL. “I just got so frustrated when I saw people bashing Trump supporters all the time, calling them not good people.”
Underwood posted a photo of him and his friend on Facebook with the caption, “I tell people just because we have a difference of opinion doesn’t mean we can’t stay friends. Frank [has] been my friend since 1990. You vote for who you think can make a difference in the world.”
The post has since gone viral, gather support from both sides of the political spectrum. And the pair said no matter what happens, they will be friends after the election.
“Whoever wins, wins, and then we move on,” Scozzafva told WSAV. “We’re gonna be friends no matter who wins.”
