Sylvester Stallone praises Trump as 'second George Washington'

Actor Sylvester Stallone praised President-elect Trump as the "second George Washington" and a "mythical character."

He also invoked his iconic boxing movie, "Rocky" in his speech on Thursday night and said he was in "awe" of the election results.

Stallone made the comments while introducing Trump at the America First Policy Gala at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Fla.

Before Thursday, Stallone hadn't publicly endorsed Trump.
