Eastwood hopes Bloomberg wins.
As for the domestic political scene, Mr. Eastwood seems disheartened. “The politics has gotten so ornery,” he says, hunching his shoulders in resignation. He approves of “certain things that Trump’s done” but wishes the president would act “in a more genteel way, without tweeting and calling people names. I would personally like for him to not bring himself to that level.” As he drives me back to my hotel, he expresses an affinity for another former mayor: “The best thing we could do is just get Mike Bloomberg in there.”
I’m thinking senile. He didn’t seem all there during an interview at the Pebble Beach Pro Am a couple weeks ago. I’ll need more evidence before I give up on The Man With No Name.
THIS IS ALMOST AS BAD AS JOHN WAYNE BEING A SODOMIZER!!
IT’S A DAMN SHAME, THAT’S WHAT IT IS…
CLINT, GIVE ME A CALL, I KNOW A GOOD THERAPIST AT THE VA IN LA JOLLA!!!
Sadly WSJ has this fluffer piece as part of their click bait to BUY a subscription. I just can’t bring myself to put money in the pocket of Rupert Murdock so he can compete with Bezos as competing aristocrat media moguls. Surprising that Clint does not see the nanny-state control issues that mini-mike brings. Sorry, I’m not turning over my life to Clint or Mini-Mike just because “our betters” think it would be the best thing to do.
He wants Bloomberg in there? SHEESH.
Why doesn’t he just go, “Go ahead. Make me gay.”
Mr Favor would make him ride drag.
Just another Hollywood prims donna. I don’t take any of them seriously
Let Mikey ruin it! He’ ruin anything!
I call bulshit on this until I have more evidence. I know I read it on the internet so it must be true but still. This is unbelievable
Did he start laughing after he said it?
I doubt the story and I’m not paying to read it.
Clint was thrilled when trump initially won.
Jewell was vilified by the FBI
Trump is fighting the FBI holdovers who have vilified him.
Both wrongly investigated.
I doubt it!
Written by the WSJ?
Nah…I’m calling bullshit too.
I for one am thrilled that “the politics has gotten so ornery.” We had a hockey coach who didn’t want us to fight back and just take the rough stuff the other teams dealt. I refused to play for someone like that. The left has been bullying Constitutional conservatives for too damn long.
You’re Goddamn right I’m not tired of winning. Unless and until the left starts acting civil, they are my meat. I’m thrilled we finally have a leader who isn’t afraid to give them exactly what they have coming to them. That is the only way to deal with a bully.
Establishment Republicans can act like a whipped dog if they want, and they will because deep down they like it. That is why they hate people who will stand and fight. Envious bastards.
Actor. Paid to be handsome (decades ago) and read other people’s words. Now skilled at aiming cameras and telling other actors how to lie convincingly. Deserves less attention than your garbage man, even if story is BS.
Was there an empty chair nearby when he said this?
everyone here is too nice just because dear Clinton has had a change of heart and gone full bore hollywierd.
I bet he must be in talks for another movie and the only way he could move forward on it was to go demoncrat.
I’m sure Bloomberg paid for and approves that, too.
Right I want the guy that wants to erase the second amendment and tell everyone what they can eat, drive and drink. Was Clint for sale? Is this a paid endorsement?! And this notion Bloomberg is decent and doesn’t name call?! Just look at the stupid billboards he put up. Fake bs.
Despite being heavily associated with firearms in his Westerns and police movies, Eastwood has publicly endorsed gun control since at least 1973. In the April 24, 1973, edition of The Washington Post, the star said, “I’m for gun legislation myself. I don’t hunt.”[25] Two years later, in 1975, Eastwood told People magazine that he favors “gun control to some degree.”[26] About a year later, Eastwood remarked that “All guns should be registered. I don’t think legitimate gun owners would mind that kind of legislation. Right now the furor against a gun law is by gun owners who are overreacting. They’re worried that all guns are going to be recalled. It’s impossible to take guns out of circulation, and that’s why firearms should be registered and mail-order delivery of guns halted.”[27] In 1993, he noted that he “…was always a backer” of the Brady Bill, with its federally mandated waiting period.[28] In 1995, Eastwood questioned the purpose of assault weapons. Larry King, the television host and newspaper columnist, wrote in the May 22, 1995, edition of USA Today that “my interview with Eastwood will air on ‘Larry King Weekend’ … I asked him his thoughts on the NRA and gun control and he said that while people think of him as pro-gun, he has always been in favor of controls. ‘Why would anyone need or want an assault weapon?’ he said.”[29]

Clint, Harry Callaghan would kick your old ass for saying something like that.
Really.
I am grieving. How could this happen?
My last link to the movie industry has turned or flipped or gone senile.
Yep, he has had a good run. It’s about time for Sunny Acres.
“We all have it coming, kid.”
I agree he must be getting senile.
