b'What you\'re about to hear is a teaser for our new bonus episodes we are doing for subscribers to Beast Inside, the Daily Beast\'s membership program. Actor, comedian and activist Billy Eichner totally gets why Taylor Swift took so long to get publicly political. In this bonus episode of The New Abnormal, the \\u201cBilly on the Street\\u201d star explains why celebrities may take a long time to speak up\\u2014and how Trump is changing that. \\u201cIt\'s easy to sit back from a distance and say like, \\u2018why doesn\'t so-and-so get more political.\\u2019 And I definitely feel that way sometimes, but the few times I\'ve had like internet backlash for something or, you know, people being angry at something, I can hold my own. And it doesn\'t, like, ruin my life at all,\\u201d he explained. \\u201cI think Trump pushed us to a place\\u201d where celebs who were previously silent on major issues now feel compelled to speak up. That said, he is just \\u201csick of getting angry on Twitter.\\u201d Eichner also spoke about the ways he\\u2019s trying to make one of his biggest dreams come true: \\u201cIt would make me so pleased to flip the Senate.\\u201d Plus, he shares his thoughts on the South Carolina race between Lindsey Graham and Jaime Harrison. \\u201cLindsey Graham, to me, is the epitome of someone who makes me physically ill,\\u201d he added. And of course, he answers our burning question: When is Billy on the Street going to come back? (\\u201cCoronavirus killed my career.\\u201d). Again, this is for Beast Inside members only.
