Harrison Ford says 'we gotta start talking politics'
| Fox News ^ | 2/18/20 | Tyler McCarthy

Posted on 02/18/2020 12:04:19 PM PST by conservative98

Harrison Ford is dipping his toe into political waters, noting in a recent interview that talking about politics has become unavoidable.

Days after the 77-year-old actor appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live and called President Donald Trump a “son of a b----,” he was asked about his recent forays into talking politics in an interview with CBS News. The star responded by noting that politics has become too divisive and called for a return to “the middle ground.”

"I think it's come to the point where we gotta start talking politics," Ford said. "But we gotta talk about it in a positive way. We gotta regain the middle ground. We're in these ideological enclaves. But the truth is in the middle. Progress is made in the middle."

When asked if he thought it was possible to get back to the middle ground, the Han Solo actor’s response was blunt.

“We damn well better,” he shot back.

Ford was on hand to promote his new film, “The Call of the Wild,” which he says spoke to his personal beliefs about climate change and human beings’ impact on the natural world.

No thanks. HF was a pretty face in the right place at the right time. Talent? Not so much.

He certainly knows nothing that is of any use to me, so he can go play in his own little enclave.

Whatever he says, I’m voting the other way.

Don’t worry, now that we have “deepfake” technology, in a few years we can go back over his filmography and replace him with Kurt Russell.

Any talk that does not denounce Communism in all forms is bullstalin.

Harrison Ford wants to share YOUR money - not HIS money...

He'll keep his $300 million wad, thank you very much.

He’s always been a pothead hippie. This is par for the course for him.

I’d love to see him respond to Tony Heller videos on the climate.

It’s actually hard to believe that Hollywood had many conservatives and Republicans in it’s ranks with ones like John Wayne, James Stewart, Bette Davis, Betty Grable, Dinah Shore, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Bob Hope, Walter Pidgeon, William Powell, and numerous others.

Some people get a bit soft in the head as they age. Let's be charitable. But, I wonder if this is newfound lefty fervor, or was always there, or is a sign of incipient dementia.

Or a result of sleeping with Ally McBeal for two decades?

By “embrace the middle” he means accept bathroom confusion, all latest tranny issues and vow stop use of coal and “fossil fuels.” Plus a bunch of other requirements the left wants.

Ford is an ignorant and naive person who does not know what “the middle” is.

"... WHO 'DENIGRATE SCIENCE' ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE"

The problem is that the Left doesn't treat it as science. It is more like the group-think of politics. "Believe what we say or you're banned from the pack".

The whores and sons of bitches in Hollywood never, ever, shut the F up about politics. 95% of the movies they make have some overt or subtle little political message stuck in them somewhere, often in a way that doesn't further the story line or in any way fit the character.

Okay, let’s talk about the politics of rampant Hollywood pedophilia.

I didn’t realize that. Yeah, if Ally’s TV character was typecast...yeah, that might do it.

Haven’t been able to stomach Harry Ford since he was in that movie with that fake lesbian and they were stranded on a deserted island. His old face, even back then, kissing that fake lesbian was puke worthy.
