Hollywood actor/director and producer Clint Eastwood has pitched his tent with U.S. Republican Presidential candidate, Donald Trump.
Speaking in a lengthy interview with Esquire magazine for its September issue, he called the current American generation ‘pus**’ and also said during his time while growing up most of the things Trump has said won’t be referred to as racist.
“What Trump is onto is he’s just saying what’s on his mind,” he explained. “And sometimes it’s not so good. And sometimes it’s, I mean, I can understand where he’s coming from, but I don’t always agree with it.”
The 86-year-old actor acknowledged the Billionaire is “racist,” citing Trump’s hateful remarks against Federal Judge Gonzalo Curiel but says the press overreact towards his statements.
“You know, he’s a racist now because he’s talked about this judge. And yeah, it’s a dumb thing to say. I mean, to predicate your opinion on the fact that the guy was born to Mexican parents or something,” Eastwood said.
“But everybody — the press and everybody’s going, ‘Oh, well, that’s racist,’ and they’re making a big hoodoo out of it. Just f–king get over it. It’s a sad time in history,” he continued.
“We’re really in a p—y generation. Everybody’s walking on eggshells,” he said. “We see people accusing people of being racist and all kinds of stuff. When I grew up, those things weren’t called racist.”
“I’d have to go for Trump. You know, ’cause she’s declared that she’s gonna follow in Obama’s footsteps,” he said.
“She’s made a lot of dough out of being a politician. I gave up dough to be a politician. I’m sure that Ronald Reagan gave up dough to be a politician,” he added.
