Stacey Dash showed her support for Donald Trump on Thursday ahead of the Republican debate.
In an interview with Fox News, Dash said of Trump; 'I believe he is a true conservative. He's strong on national security.'

It has been a big week for Dash, with the Clueless actor kicking things off with a surprise appearance at the Academy Awards.
Host Chris Rock jokingly introduced her saying she had been selected as 'the new director of our minority outreach program.'
Dash had criticized those who came out against the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences over the complete absence of non-white acting nominees at this year's Oscars - while also calling for the elimination of Black History Month and the cable channel BET.
Dash called Jada Pinkett Smith and Spike Lee's plan to boycott the Oscars 'ludicrous,' and then took things a step further.
'We have to make up our minds,' Dash said during an appearance on Fox & Friends.
'Either we want to have segregation or integration. And if we don't want segregation, then we need to get rid of channels like BET [Black Entertainment Television] and the BET Awards and the Image Awards where you're only awarded if you're black.'
She did not stop there either, saying later in the interview when again asked if BET should be on air: 'No, I don't think so, no. Just like there shouldn't be a Black History Month. You know? We're Americans. Period. That's it.'
Dash, 49, had previously discussed eliminating Black History Month and BET in a post on her blog late last year.
She wrote at the time; 'I don’t need a special month or special channel. What’s sad is that these insidious things only keep us segregated and invoke false narratives.'
Dash, who shot to fame with her role as Dionne in the film Clueless, is now a contributor to Fox News.
She voted for President Barack Obama in the 2008 election but then switched her party affiliation in 2012 to Republican, endorsing Mitt Romney in the election.
Dash was born in the Bronx and is part Bajan, African American and Mexican. She is the cousin of Roc-A-Fella Records founder and CEO Damon Dash.
She has two children from previous relationships, a 22-year-old son and a 12-year-old daughter.
