James Woods just declared that he is quitting the Republican Party in a fiery political message.
On Friday, March 6, the actor — known for films like Casino, Ghosts of Mississippi, Hercules, and more — took to X to criticize Republicans in Congress. He aired his grievances after they blocked an investigation of Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar.
