TheBlaze asked the actor, who is married to Shane Barbi — one of Playboy’s most famous cover models (and part of of Barbi twins duo) — why he is choosing now to be so vocal about his conservative views. His two-word answer will likely resonate with many Republicans. “Nancy Pelosi,” he quickly responded. “And that’s the truth. I’m a very happy, content private person. Even when I was acting before I got hurt I never had a publicist, I never had PR help,” he added. “I always wanted my work to do the talking for me. I did very little publicity.” But when Pelosi famously said, “But we have to pass the [health care] bill so that you can find out what’s in it….” in the midst of the contentious Obamacare debate, Wahl said he could no longer contain himself. “That day when Nancy Pelosi said ‘Let’s pass this bill and then we’ll find out whats in it,’ I actually choked on [my coffee],” he explained. “But what was even more astonishing after that was that there was no push-back in the media about that. I was Godsmacked.” Her statement made something “click” for the actor and he decided, as a result, to make his views known. “Something just clicked and I thought, something’s going terribly wrong in America now if this is what it’s comes to,” he added. “That moment flipped the switch for me.”
