James Cromwell: ‘There Will Be Blood in the Streets’ if Trump Isn’t Stopped

Though James Cromwell was honored at the fourth annual Carney Awards for his work as a character actor, the industry veteran has worked as a political activist his entire career.

On the red carpet at the Eli and Edythe Broad Stage in Santa Monica, Calif., he candidly shared his thoughts about the current political climate.

“This is nascent fascism. We always had a turnkey, totalitarian state — all we needed was an excuse, and all the institutions were in place to turn this into pure fascism,” Cromwell told Variety on Sunday night. “If we don’t stop [President Trump] now, then we will have a revolution for real. Then there will be blood in the streets.”

Cromwell later echoed his statement during his acceptance speech for one of the six Carney Awards given out that night.

“We’re living in very curious times, and something is coming up which is desperately important to this country and to this planet, and that is an election, in which hopefully in some measure we are going to take back our democracy,” Cromwell said. “We will have a government that represents us and not the donor class. We will cut through the corruption, [and] we won’t have to do what comes next, which is either a non-violent revolution or a violent one, because this has got to end.”

I sure wish Trump would cool it on the rhetoric...calling for violence in the streets and all...

Oh, wait.

Hollywood over acting AGAIN

[Drango]

Young boys and girls will suffer sexual abuse if the donkeys aren’t stopped.

[dead]

That’ll do, pig, that’ll do.

[rockinqsranch]

Ravings of a demented leftist.

[Oratam]

That’s quite a Stretch Cunningham.

[bgill]

Oh, that guy famous for being upstaged by a pig.

[AndrewB]

That’ll do pig. That’ll do.

[ This is nascent fascism. ]

Obviously he missed Barack Hussein Obama and Eric Holder.

Because he approved.

“We’re living in very curious times, and something is coming up which is desperately important to this country and to this planet, and that is an election, in which hopefully in some measure we are going to take back our democracy,” Cromwell said. “We will have a government that represents us and not the donor class. We will cut through the corruption, [and] we won’t have to do what comes next, which is either a non-violent revolution or a violent one, because this has got to end.”

Taking back our democracy = liberals being in charge. And I am curious how Hillary winning would represent anything other than the donor class.

Another clueless, brain dead liberal who parrots the donkey nonsense.

He’s bald and he has facial hair! He fits the generic description of today’s American Marxist. Who gives a $hit what he has to say?

“If we don’t stop the people who are trying to stop President Trump now, then we will have a revolution for real. Then there will be blood in the streets.”

Corrected the quote, since whoever quoted Cromwell left out an important piece of the quote, IMHO.

[OttawaFreeper]

Oh yes, this fellow who was once married to Julie Cobb and has done all of these acting roles over the years. Really makes his opinions worth paying attention to, eh?

[RooRoobird20]

Not surprised another Hollywood fool is calling Trump a Nazi.

Shaddap, Cromwell!! You must be mouthing off because you’re very old and you’re looking for more acting gigs.

[Artemis Webb]

Damn I love that movie. It’s no great struggle for me to separate stupidity from the finished movie.

[bert]

I thought all the Round Heads were dead and gone

[Savage Beast]

Who is James Cromwell?

[bagster]

[Magnatron]

I guess Cromwell didn’t check to see who has most of the guns before he opened his pie hole...
