4. Padma Lakshmi
The Top Chef host baked an American pie in the form of the American flag and posted it with a political statement for Trump, which says, ‘While we celebrate the Fourth, there are refugee families legally seeking asylum in this country being detained and forced to sleep on concrete floors with aluminum blankets and no medical care. This is a stain on our nation and we need to do something now. Contact your representatives tomorrow to demand they #CloseTheCamps.”
