Archie Bunker was a supporter of Donald Trump.

"All in the Family" was the landmark sitcom that made the bigoted but beloved family man Archie, played byCarroll O'Connor, an American icon.

In a commentary to mark his 100th birthday on Wednesday, he wrote about his hit show of the 70s and its signature character. Archie might have been a Trump voter.

The attack on the U.S. Capitol may have provoked strong reactions from a Trump supporter.

The sight of the American flag would have made him sick. I hope that the resolve shown by Representatives Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger would win his respect.

The creator of shows such as "Sanford and Son" and "Maude" has a long history of supporting progressive causes. He received the National Medal of the Arts and a Kennedy Center honor.

Many boldface names responded to the commentary by thanking the man for speaking out on various issues and for reaching the 100th anniversary of his birth.

Archie Bunker has been talked about before in relation to Trump.

He told the Daily Beast that Trump is very smart. Archie Bunker was a wise man.
