Country star and “The Voice” co-host/judge Blake Shelton showered pithy praise on RNC surprise speaker and Hollywood legend, Clint Eastwood.
Many welcomed Shelton’s open embrace:

But Shelton encountered a few protests:
“@dudehansen: PLEASE DON'T BE A RIGHT WINGER! I like you too much!”

So funny to me when people have egos about their political views. Calm down. Your mouth doesn't matter. Your actions do. Vote.

Let’s hope Shelton doesn’t go quietly into that goodnight:
@blakeshelton play it safe. If u r a republican, don't make it known. These vicious libs will attack u, your wife, ur music – they r awful

@blakeshelton beautifully said. You get to decide who is in office. Don't hate someone else who doesn't agree with you!

Shelton’s civic advice to those obsessed with hammering him for his politics? Shut up and vote:
To all you political twitters out there I hate to break it to u but ur changing 1 mind. So just march ur brilliant ass to the booth and vote
