Michael Moore: We Have to ‘Put Our Bodies on the Line’ to Stop Trump
Daily Beast ^ | June 29, 2018 | Matt Wilstein

In 2004, Michael Moore released his documentary Fahrenheit 9/11 about the run-up to the Iraq War. This September, he will premiere his latest film: Fahrenheit 11/9.

As the liberal filmmaker told Stephen Colbert on The Late Show Thursday night, that date represents the night Donald Trump was elected president. “This is about how the hell we got in this situation and how we’re going to get out of it,” he said.

After playing a clip from the film in which he tries to infiltrate Mar-a-Lago, Colbert asked him if he was “civil” to the people there. “I was as civil as any Eagle Scout Catholic altar boy could be when confronted with the devil,” Moore answered.

Speaking to the great civility debate happening in America right now, Moore continued, saying that Democrats have traditionally been “so wimpy and weak” but now “a few people want to stand up and say, I’ve had enough, that’s it.”

“We don’t have to be violent, we have to remain non-violent, but if the worst that happens to anybody in the Trump administration is that they don’t get to have a chicken dinner in Virginia, I mean, I don’t know,” he said. If it were just basic political differences, Moore said he would not be in favor of throwing Sarah Huckabee Sanders out of a restaurant.

“But that’s not what’s going on now,” he said. “We’re not talking about political differences. We’re talking about thousands of children being kidnapped and put in jails.”

Given how divided the nation seems to be at this moment, Colbert wondered what kind of “endgame” Moore had in mind. “Because you don’t want to end this in violence or any sort of really revolutionary confrontation, you want a political change at the end of this,” he assumed.

That fat slob wouldn’t put a piece of pie on the line much less the 500 pounds of him.

Old buddies with the Chavez, but refuses to live in prosperously socialist Venezuela. In similar step, makes millions of dollars with his anti-capitalist movies.

Good point. If we’re “kidnappers”, we’re sure going about it the wrong way, considering all we want is to send them home. And we even pay to do it.

He probably figures using his body to block a major intersection somewhere.

By “Our” bodies, he doesn’t mean including his.

Good food for thought. Why are they always so determined to force socialism upon a country which doesn’t want it, when there are plenty of socialist paradises right here in the Western Hemisphere? They could move to one within a week.

a perfect bloated canon fodder for the left

yes go stand in front of a sane american’s gun when you commit your crimes — you sad apparatchik

Oh and ‘incitement’ should be a term you will be made very aware of in the future.

Massive Moore could certainly block a lot of “line”.

Lol! When Michael Moore says “put our bodies on the line” he of course means others not his.

how many front loaders will it require to remove him from the road where he will be laying?

From what I’ve read, most of Hollyweird spend every dollar and then some like drunk sailors or so the expression goes. If the millions who voted for Trump and now all those who are supporting him who didn’t in 2016 “stop” paying for and patronizing anything these actors and singers do, they can go broke and start living in the “real world” again.

They’re selfish, insane, spoiled brats.
