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.

Harrison Ford should go on the Mark Levin show and talk politics.

called President Donald Trump a “son of a b----,” … politics has become too divisive and called for a return to “the middle ground.”

I call gross hypocrisy on this one.

Translation, conservatives are fighting back; we need to go back to a time when we said whatever we wanted and conservatives would just shup and take it.

Republicans are allowed to duck, but they are not supposed to throw back.

They don't like a guy who pushes back.

I don’t think he’s allowed to pilot anymore, but I would petition God to swap him with John Denver.

They are 500 scientists who said there is NO climate crisis.

Brain-damaged Ford the know-it-all ahole ignores them.

Just like that Greta girl. She keeps saying “listen to the science”, yet skips school at every opportunity and never gets a chance to actually learn it.

77 year old moron who doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Just shut up and make movies, Ford, you actually are pretty good at that.

“OK, Boomer.”

Born in ‘42 so technically not a Boomer. Just another a$$hole play actor.

Stick to flying Harrison, because you’ve proven to be so accomplished in it.

Another actor for me to avoid like the plague. Maybe I'll fish his work out of the Walmart discount bin some day.

The new "Call of the Wild" movie seems to be total liberal indoctrination and filled with political correctness - that's another that I'll be happy to avoid.

Harrison Ford is a talented actor but a fool when it comes to politics. Why do the Hollywood people all think they are smarter that the average person when it comes to politics?

Welcome to Earth you out-of-touch elitist Hollywood airhead. We’ve been here talking politics for decades but feeling so unfulfilled because Harrison Ford hasn’t joined in.

We gotta start talking about hypocrisy. You know, the kind of arrogance that would lead a guy who said he loves flying so much that he would take one of his collection of private planes and fly it up the coast to go get a cheeseburger but who at the same time thinks it his place to lecture others about carbon emissions.

Know what I’m talking about Harrison....you son of a beyotch?

This is such a positive development. One almost never hears political opinions from Hollywood stars. They need to start right away so I can know what to think.
