Kevin Costner: 'Criminal' Trump ‘Spits on 200 Years of Freedom’
Dailypoliticalnewswire.com ^ | August 20, 2020 | Keely Sharp

Hollywood actor Kevin Costner is accusing President Donald Trump of being a "criminal" due to his refusal to throw BILLIONS of dollars in funding to the United States Postal Service (USPS).

“It’s terrible. It’s terrible,” Costner proclaimed during an interview with The Daily Beast. “Nothing is surreal. Everything is highly real, and it’s dangerous. And it’s shameful.”

The 65-year-old declared that Trump is breaking the law and undermining democracy. Funnily enough, he never specifies what law is being broken by the president. Perhaps because there isn't any.

"History will judge you," he said. "When you look back at [Joseph] McCarthy, when you look back at black-and-white footage and see people who were beating on those who were marching for freedom, you don’t want to be that person. And there’s a lot of people where, when you look back ten years, they’re going to see themselves."

Costner continued, "What you have to try to lean on is that every four years we get to decide whether we’re going in the right direction or we’re not. And we now, because of the way the country is set up, which is beautiful, we have that opportunity. And anyone who would interfere with that process in a deliberate way to have an outcome, that’s criminal. And it spits on 200 years of freedom."

You realize that Joe was right.

Was the $10B the government agreed to give the USPS on July 29 not enough? Good grief!

Not sure about that. There is a lot of competition in Hollywood.

You just made me like Anthony Hopkins.

He became even more of a favorite after I read his thoughts on actors.

Funny, he's describing election interference, like Obama spying on Trump. Then claims Trump is criminal for not helping the Democrats fund bad actors in the USPS tamper with the upcoming election's mail-in ballots.

Kevin, Kevin, Kevin...Bull Durham is a great sports movie, you make great Westerns...but as a political analyst, you suck. Please shut up and act/direct.

What kills me is they all say he is criminal and breaking the law, but they never say what is criminal or which law has been broken!! Perhaps because there’s no “what” and “how“ there, Kevin?

Kevin fancies himself to be a real man’s man like John Dutton in “Yellowstone,” a real cowboy.

According to the head costume designer for Yellowstone, Kevin will only wear custom Ralph Lauren jeans.

What a wussy and a p*ssy! LMAO
