Jeff Daniels Faces Backlash After Comparing Trump Supporters to the KKK

Anti-Trump actor, and star of the “Dumb and Dumber” movie franchise, appeared on MSNBC, where he compared Trump supporters to the KKK. Daily Wire reported that Daniels painted supporters of President Donald Trump and a “wing” of the Republican Party as racists (KKK comparison included) on Monday during an appearance on far-left network MSNBC. He also warned that the re-election of President Trump would be “the end of democracy.”

He was the dumber in dumb and dumber.

[Savage Beast]

Somebody explain to this klunk that the DEMOCRAT PARTY is the PARTY OF THE KKK.

Anti-Trump actor, and star of the “Dumb and Dumber” movie franchise...didn't realize he was a known anti-Trumper - he appeared as the guest presenter on TCM (which has gone noticeably and disgustingly leftwing lately) last Saturday to introduce "To Kill A Mockingbird" as the feature for the evening - lots of verbal diarrhea about how to play Atticus Finch, since apparently he is appearing in the Broadway version of the story as Atticus - finally got around to talking about "racism" and patronizingly saying that racism didn't appear first in the south - "it started when the pilgrims first stepped off the boats in New England and saw the Indians" - no, actually it started eons before that and continues today all over the world, jacka$$.....

[Joe Boucher]

Oh well Jeffey,
Guess you are on the do not watch list.

[july4thfreedomfoundation]

This worthless piece of *hit Daniels will probably kill himself when President Donald J. Trump is re-elected by a huge margin.

No loss......the gene pool of America will be improved when Daniels is history.

FU Daniels, and your mama too!

[Sarah Barracuda]

He worked with Jim Carrey, guess some of the stupidity rubbed off on him..if he doesnt like America, and cant stand being around Trump supporters, he is FREE TO LEAVE, and he can leave the millions behind that he has made here

[Sarah Barracuda]

Yeah when he endorsed her not a peep from the commie press

[SamAdams76]

In medieval days, the entertainers were the "court jesters" and they sat at the servants table during banquets at the King's court. Their purpose was to entertain and "play the fool" and never taken seriously otherwise.

That's one tradition from the Middle Ages that I'd like to bring back.

[Rummyfan]

And to think this DUMB@SS hateful leftist once played the role of George Washington in the film “The Crossing.”

And Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain in Gettysburg. Why can't these entertainers just keep their political views to themselves?

[afterhoursarmory]

Oh look, an actor; lying on the job, lying in real life...

Never go full retard

he appeared as the guest presenter on TCM (which has gone noticeably and disgustingly leftwing lately) last Saturday to introduce "To Kill A Mockingbird" as the feature for the evening

At least Sunday evening he was apolitical and just talked about acting and the flick.

As for TCM... ugh. Saturdays now they Ava DuVernay as part of The Essentials program, which usually features pretty gold old flicks, but last week and this I skipped.

Last month they had Carl Bernstein co-introducing flicks about journalism.

And I seem to recall seeing ads that Anderson Pooper will also be appearing as a presenter.

Can't they just give us the old classics without this BS? Part of the joy of TCM is that the old flicks are totally un-PC.

[a fool in paradise]

Jeff is a proud member of the antisemite party (D).

Democrats founded the Klan.
Democrats used the Klan to target black Republicans in the South.
Democrat congresswomen spout antisemitic BS weekly without rebuke from the party leaders.

[Secret Agent Man]

I wish it meant the end of democracy.

Restore the constitutional republic properly, please.

[bray]

Is there anyone whiter than Jeff Daniels?

[Mastador1]

Apparently, dumb, dumber, dumbass is ignorant of the fact that the democrats own the KKK and no matter how much rewriting of history they attempt, there will always be people who know it!

[Cboldt]

Well that does it. I’m taking Jeff Daniels off my liquor list.

[Intolerant in NJ]

Yeah, you're right - Saturday night was the "award-winning" black female director whom I've been managing to miss pretty consistently too - it must have been Sunday when I saw Daniels - he wasn't especially political in what he said, but I did pick up on the bit about racism getting its start in this country as soon as the white Europeans stepped off the boats, as though it didn't exist through the ages in every race in the world - including native Americans.

It seems TCM has gone down hill badly since Robert Osborne's passing - I sometimes tuned in when he was host just to hear his comments on the upcoming film and then went on to watch something else if I had seen the movie before - now I'm using the mute a lot to get through the first few minutes of drivel before the films begin....

[alabama_heart]

Ya...he and Carrey. The two must be in competition lately as to which one needs to be institutionalized.

[carton253]

And he was excellent in that role.
