“So, anyway, my call to all of you out there, you secretive conservatives, you secretive Trump voters, all of you, it's now or never, you know what I mean?” Levi said. “Do whatever you want to do. If you have to come out publicly and say it, if you feel like you still can't do it, then don't do it.

Levi supported Trump during an event for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard in September. He explained how he initially supported RFK Jr. and then switched his support in favor of Trump after RFK Jr. suspended his campaign.

“In a perfect world, whatever that would be, I might have voted for Bobby,” Levi said. “But we don’t live in a perfect world. In fact, we live in a very broken world. We live in a country that has been hijacked by many people who want to take this place far off the cliff, and we are here to stop that.”
