Actor Matthew McConaughey is making a lot of sense.
The actor, who hails from Uvalde, Texas, and eschews left-wing Hollywood to live in Austin, has a new book out and has been making the rounds to talk about it. He recently appeared on Russell Brand’s podcast and laid into Hollywood and the leftist elites.
Brand asked the Academy Award winner if he noticed any condemnation of ordinary working people emanating from the elites. McConaughey did not hold back.
“[There is] a kind of offhandedness, like, ‘Oh, they’re dumb, they’re voting for Brexit, they’re voting for Trump.’ I don’t like it, and I don’t like to hear it,” Brand said in an episode last week.
McConaughey replied, “There are a lot [of people] on that illiberal left that absolutely condescend, patronize, and are arrogant towards the other 50 percent.”
The “True Detective” star pointed out how some of his Hollywood peers struggled to accept the results in the 2016 election — but now the roles have been reversed.

Dont let him fool you
Don’t be too easily impressed. He is an actor afterall and if you study him much you may see that he’s playing both sides, running conservatives down, too, and trying to bring us together. There is no together when it’s communism v freedom. I haven’t read his book but my sister did and she says that he goes on a lot about his concern regarding global warming. At this point, I’m feeling very dismissive of him.
The most laughable part is that the H-wood cretins actually think that they are smart.
Agree.
You are correct - read his whole comments. He really isn’t saying we have a case here just that we wont accept the election (fraudulent) results because we are sore losers.
Matthew McConaughey reunited ‘Dazed and Confused’ cast to support voting
The event was organized to support the March for Science, the Voto Latino Foundation, and increase awareness about voting in Texas.

You said what I was thinking. They know better than to attack him. He’s no shrinking violet.
What an absurd statement.
What has he got to gain from saying this in a world where he WILL be blacklisted for saying this.
I don’t care what one is worth, no one likes being out of work.
For whatever reason you are bitter and distrustful, let go of it. It’s not healthy.
He DID say that we need to accept the 2020 results, which I disagree with.
But dont be so jaded as to always believe someone has a sinister reason for saying something we believe.
It’s a terrible way to live.
have a good one

Uh, Austin is very far left.
I was never a big fan of either McConaughey or Woody Harrelson, but they NAILED that season of “True Detective.” They were both superb in that show.
But, politically Harrelson is a nutball and McConaughey is — while not a moderate — certainly to the left of the center line.
And he drives Lincoln’s in commercials!
Bongos playing drugged out naked Matthew McConaughey??? Just checking . . .
Alright, alright, alright.....
By the way, rumor has it he is thinking about running for Governor!?!
Stoned half the time, and with a father who was a convicted hitman... well, that's two strikes.
No thanks
