People magazine headline says:

Norman Lear, Who Created Bigoted Archie Bunker, Is Boycotting His Kennedy Center Honors Award Because of President Trump

So think of it. The guy who created a fictitious so-called bigot is now being a bigot.

What a maroon.

Mr. Lear probably thinks he’s making a statement as most of his ilk think, but actually only a few of us wonder who cares!?

Skipping the cocktail hour is a joke. If he accepts the prize, it isn't a boycott.

Well, the old Capo is 95, so you just have to wonder if it isn’t an excuse because his Depends can’t make it through the whole outing. Trump should be happy the worthless schmeckel won’t be there.

From the article:
“...said he will not attend the pre-awards reception hosted by President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump”

I don’t know what your definition of “hosting” is, but I’ll bet you that the Pres and the 1st Lady are going to be there.

Morally.

The liberal loon who’s hysteria of the “Right” was used to create propaganda (that backfired) is now afraid of the President who was voted into power by the silent majority who do not like the liberal agenda.

The new “Red (nation) Scare”?

Absolutely. Hes just playing the typical lib. He LUVS himself some awards because it’s the only validation he has (an award which is nothing more than a piece of paper and cheap plaque) that he’ll still sell out his principals to get that piece of paper.
