George Clooney Calls Donald Trump ‘a Xenophobic Fascist’
Variety ^ | March 03, 2016 | Jacob Bryant

Posted on 03/03/2016 11:57:57 AM PST by BradtotheBone

George Clooney has joined the masses in calling out Donald Trump.

In an interview with The Guardian, Clooney sat down and talked about his thoughts on the potential Republican nominee.

“He’s just an opportunist,” the “Hail, Caesar” actor said. “Now he’s a fascist; a xenophobic fascist.”

Clooney added that during election season it often isn’t the person with the best idea being heard but rather the person who is loudest.

“Let’s put things into perspective,” he said. “You know, the truth of the matter is, in election season, things go crazy, and the loudest voices are the furthest and most extreme. So you hear a massively stupid idea, like we’re going to ban Muslims from the country. Now, we’re not ever going to do that. It says in the Statue of Liberty, bring us your huddled masses. It’s not what’s going to happen.”

Clooney also talked about the potential Democratic nominees. The actor said he was a Hillary Clinton supporter and had plans to do a fundraiser for her. A similar fundraiser he put on in 2012 for Obama raised more than $12 million. He also spoke on his admiration for Bernie Sanders.

Well thank goodness that the Statue Of Liberty is the law of the land instead of the Constitution, right, dummy?

Yeah but to be frank I really do not care for certain cultures, and if my ancestors came from it, then thank god they left and never went back.

Well, at least he didn't call him a fascistic xenophobe.

Do you mean to tell us that a poem engraved at the base of the Statue of Liberty is not settled, controlling law at the federal level? You learn something new everyday. We can thank Clooney for this great new knowledge.

He sounds like his own movie character in Brother Where Art Thou. Can't make this stuff up.

The Statue of Liberty is a statue, not a STATUTE, George.

needs reposting-

A phobia is an irrational fear.

To hold foreigners in disdain for their primitive cultures, misogyny, and retrograde hygiene isn’t a phobia - it’s plain common sense.

Plus, by most metrics we are plainly superior. No amount of diversity propaganda can change that fact, and it drives SJWs nuts.

“They live in such peace and harmony with nature,” the anthropologist gushed, as her subject picked nits out of his hair and ate them with the same hand he.....

George Clooney would think George Washington was a xenophobic fascist.

Amazing how these people can be so uppity. Clooney calls Trump a bunch of names and he’s just a dang actor. I can’t think of anyone in the entertainment field that can influence how I vote.

Everyone is familiar with Mussolini’s iconic uniform with the Sam Browne belt, but few know that when voting for their new uniform, the Fagot party almost went with assless chaps.
