Woods is a harsh critic of President Obama and has criticized the president and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Twitter in the past. He said he didn't expect to work in liberal Hollywood again after he blamed Obama for keeping World War II veterans out of their memorial during the government shutdown in October 2013.

Woods also criticized Obama on Twitter in July 2013 over his remarks on Trayvon Martin after the George Zimmerman not-guilty verdict.

Woods called Clinton a "foul queen" on Twitter in August 2013 over the Benghazi scandal.
