Clint Eastwood Joins Other ‘Hollywood Action Hero’ Frauds with Bloomberg Endorsement
BY Herschel Smith
4 years, 10 months ago
So the actor who went from a TV cowboy, to earn international fame as the iconic Man with No Name in spaghetti Westerns, with perhaps his most famous role being the .44 Magnum-wielding Dirty Harry, supports a rabid gun-grabbing zealot?
That may not be his intent, but it may be, and regardless, that’s the effect this has. Irrespective of whatever other reasons Eastwood may have, he is supporting a billionaire who will add the weight of the U.S. government to disarm his countrymen, including Eastwood and his fans. He is, to put it bluntly, but accurately, giving aid and comfort to the enemy.
So what makes people think that Hollywood actors are such paragons of value judgment righteousness? Maybe he is just getting senile in his old age, or thinks this sort of virtue signalling is necessary before he meets his maker. That would betray a shallow intellect, but most Hollywood types have a shallow intellect.
Doubtless though, Bloomberg and the forces of darkness will use this to their advantage for the idiots among us. The best way to mitigate the damage is to teach the masses. That’s a long term project.

My first reaction was to wonder what Bloomberg’s deep state pals have on Clint.
This is the man who gave the Obama = empty chair speech. Now, just a few short years later, he turns coat.
Been all day now, and I’m still wondering.

Eastwood has smarts, but is a liberal. It’s telling that he does NOT endorse any of the other Dem candidates, all of whom are socialist/communist.
That said, it’s sad that his smarts could not overcome his liberal-ness.

Sorry, Dad29, Eastwood was never a liberal, he has been conservative his entire life until now.

He is 89 years old and wants to work in Hollywood again.
I don’t apply contemporary issues to past works of art or statues.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
Anti-Gunner Liam Neeson totes a gun in every film while posing in a role as a badass.
Entertainment and reality are not the same.
Clint did serve in the Air Force and survived a crash into the ocean.
His rugged anti-hero roles in those old westerns are like parables.

Don’t discount the arm-twisting angle. Behind the scenes there is immense pressure being brought to bear on celebrities to go full-on anti-Trump and/or pro-Left/deep-state. If the carrot doesn’t work, the men in the shadows won’t hesitate to use the stick. Eastwood is wealthy and famous; Bloomberg has more money and power than many small countries. Try sixty billion worth. That amount of dough can buy a lot of leverage.

Get off my lawn, Clint.

He was banging Sondra Locke. How good could his judgement be?

Eastwood has been an outspoken gun control advocate since the early 1970s. It’s not hard to look it up.
