After Quaid spoke at a Trump rally in Coachella, California over the weekend, his ex, Lea Thompson, took to social media to call him out ... as well as her past choices.
Dennis Quaid made a very public appearance supporting Donald Trump over the weekend, making a speech at a rally that has seemingly left his ex Lea Thompson confused.
Fresh off his role as Ronald Reagan in the recent Reagan biopic, Quaid spoke at a rally for Trump at Coachella, California on Saturday,
In his speech, he urged attendees that "it's time to pick a side" -- before asking, "Are we going to be a nation that stands for the Constitution? Or for TikTok? Are we going to be a nation of law and order? Or wide open borders? Which is it? Because it’s time to pick a side."

Thompson and Quaid met on the set of Jaws 3 back in 1982, got engaged in 1984 and split in 1987. She moved on with and married Howard Deutch in 1989 and they've been together ever since; the two share two daughters.
Quaid, meanwhile, was later married to Meg Ryan from 1991-2001, Kimberly Buffington from 2004-2018 and married Laura Savoie in 2020. He and Buffington share 16-year-old twins, while he and Ryan share actor son Jack Quaid ... who has endorsed Harris.
