Star Wars star Daisy Ridley: 'Every sane person' has an 'issue with Trump'
Washington Examiner ^ | December 9, 2019 | Carlin Becker

Posted on 12/09/2019 4:42:45 PM PST by EdnaMode

Star of the upcoming film Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Daisy Ridley asserted that "everyone has an issue with Trump — every sane person anyway."

Speaking with The Guardian in an interview published over the weekend, the English actress took aim at both President Trump and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson. When asked if she finds it difficult to speak out about politics given that the Star Wars franchise is owned by family-friendly Disney, Ridley said, "No. I don’t feel I have to edit what I say — the things that make me angry are the things that make everyone angry."

"Everyone is annoyed with BoJo," she continued, referencing Johnson, leader of the nation's Conservative Party. "Everyone has an issue with Trump — every sane person anyway. It’s not that I don’t talk about this stuff, but other people are so much more articulate than me and say it better."

And the good news is she’s being lambasted because of her ‘white privilege’. Actually she’s being lambasted because she’s denied having white privilege. Lay down with dogs, you’re gonna get fleas.

Sorry but she is guilty.
Looks like a young Tom Cruise.
Has the same acting range as Cruise.
Shoots her mouth off about stuff she knows nothing about.
Flat as the plains of Nebraska.

To be fair, she already lacked confidence that the movie was going to be successful anyways based on the videos included in this link (heck, the entire cast didn’t have any confidence either):

Umm, yeah, sure, I’ve got issues with the president. They’re minor disagreements. Whatever. Any sane person would have SOME issue with the president on SOME matter or another. We elect men, not gods, they are by no means perfect. They make mistakes like anyone.

Of course, I think the actress has an entirely different viewpoint. Liberals can’t disagree on something, they can label it some form of a hate crime and decry those who hold an opposing view as oppressing someone. That way they never actually have to discuss any issue, simply issue proclamations (also known as memes) to identify what they believe in this week.

Throughout the history of mankind actors, clowns, and other associated "entertainers" were the scourge of society - roaming from town to town.
BINGO! The overpaid mannequins in the sleazy world of show biz should THANK G-D ALMIGHTY that dead White guys like Edison, Marconi, Philo Farnsworth, Vladimir Zworykin, David Sarnoff, Jack Warnet, Disney and many others came along when they did.
If it weren't for their inventions, business expertise and talents they would be in the same situations as their colleagues over 100 years ago.
In someone's alleyway literally singing for their supper. Travelling in minstrel shows hoping to make enough to keep from starving. Standing on a soap box babbling incoherently while being looked upon as the village idiots they are. Or locked up and forgotten about in some insane asylum.

Mary Sue should probably keep her ill-informed positions to herself.

“And I wasn’t going to see the new one anyway!”

makes it tough to boycott it because of Ridley’s statements, though ...

She’s not an American - her views on Trump are as relevant as her views on the forest planet of Endor.

To be honest, everyone has a problem with females in masculine roles. Another 3 episodes down the toilet! Thank you Political Correctness!

Does everyone here know that Hollywood absolutely refuses to let their own children watch and listen to the crap they produce??

But she’s barely been in it. And it was kind of annoying how she handed him his ass (she could hand me mine, but I’m not wearing armor). I have liked her since the short-lived American Gladiators redo.

Eleven more days until I can thoroughly enjoy not watching this insult to Star Wars and George Lucas's legacy to motion pictures.

There's a rumor that George Lucas created a rough cut of the movie that scored 88% approval with test audiences--far higher than any other version.

But his version favors an understandable story instead of "woke" politics so it will probably never see the light of day.

Again it's just a rumor, but I don't doubt it's true.

Even if true, it would be hard to save this group of clowns. Rey, Poe, Finn, Ren. They’re all as interesting as watching flies dry and paint grow.

“Glad to know there are sane people in Hollywood.”

Maybe a handful.
