The actor who starred in a classic baseball movie based in Iowa came to the state this weekend to make a political pitch.
“I did not fly out here to tell you what to do or who to vote for. I came out to tell you who I’m voting for,” Kevin Costner, standing on stage at a Pete Buttigieg event in Indianola, Iowa, early Sunday afternoon, said at the start.
He only indirectly mentioned the “Field of Dreams” — the hit 1989 movie that was filmed in the Dyersville and Dubuque areas in 1988.
“This has been a really sweet place for me, this state.” Costner said before telling the crowd of more than 1200 that he’s a registered independent.
“Neither party owns my vote. They don’t get it automatically,” Costner said, to applause.
Costner said we have become a nation in “perpetual crisis” and after endorsing Barack Obama in 2008, he’s returned to the political stage to publicly back a White House hopeful.
“Moral courage speaks with a certain clarity,” Costner said. “…It’s our job to listen and not get fooled.”
Costner never mentioned President Trump by name during his 12-minute speech. Costner didn’t say the last name of the candidate he endorsed, either, merely referring to him as “Pete.”
“He won’t compete to be the loudest. I won’t see his arms flapping,” Costner said and murmurs rose from the crowd, “…and he doesn’t have to yell.”
AUDIO of Costner’s appearance, 14:00
Costner closed by saying Americans get a chance to “hold the course” or “demand something better” every four years.

Is that like a corn cob in the wazoo?
Ew!
He’s a pretty good actor but a political dimwit.
14 minutes from this nutsack? Torture.
Well I was just about to post that.
Dances with Wolves now Minces with Queens.
Waterworld pirate endorses butt pirate
He’s entitled to his opinion, but anyone who decides who to vote for on the basis of any celebrity’s rhetoric doesn’t truly deserve their right to vote.
Anthony Hopkins is right.
Actors are stupid, should stick to acting, and stay out of politics.
That is one of the saddest things I have ever seen.
I don’t think so, he’s mediocre at best.
Most actors are children politically, which makes sense since they never advanced beyond playing pretend.
lol....worst picture ever.
Not presidential.
Well, I believe in the soul... the c___k...the p___y... the small of a woman's back... the hangin' curveball... high fiber... good scotch... that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent overrated crap... I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a Constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve, and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days. Goodnight.
Well, in some of the same things. Like the porn and the new amendment. But especially the kisses.
BTW, nobody can make me dislike Kevin Costner more than I do. Too much abuse though, is going to actually make him sympathetic to people.
Headline is .... well....
and Costner must be losing his mind...
This seems like getting endorsed by your dad.
