Sean Penn at The Nixon

It was a strange juxtaposition for Sean Penn, with Fox News anchor Bret Baier, President Donald Trump’s National Security Advisor Robert O’Brien and an audience of mostly Richard Nixon Library supporters, talking about his charity work, especially with Ukrainian refugees. He related his wrapping up filming a documentary with President Zelenskyy on February 23 and being in Kyiv for the start of the invasion. He received several fulsome ovations for his encouragement of support for Ukraine and call for national unity.

The event received a large article in the Orange County Register. It was good for the Nixon Foundation and Sean Penn’s message of reaching across-the-aisle.
