Jeff Daniels to Stephen Colbert: America Needs Someone Who Can Punch Trump in the Face
 [BREITBART] Actor Jeff Daniels appeared on The Late Show Tuesday evening and said that President Donald Trump...His ancestors didn't own any slaves... ’s challenger needs to be somebody who can "punch him in the face." Daniels, who stars as Atticus Finch in Broadway’s To Kill A Mockingbird, said America needs to "do better" and expressed hope that President Trump’s challenger will be someone who can "punch him in the face." "You know, I ‐ whittle it down, but we need somebody that can take this guy on, that can punch him in the face," he said. Colbert sparked Daniels’ answer after talking about the play and how it is "about different people in the same community reacting to accusations of ‐ of violence and ‐ and essentially racial profiling and how ‐ how racism is dividing the people in this town." "Given, say, the last three weeks where Donald Trump’s racism has become more overt in his attacks on various politicians and communities around the United States‐ does that change the tone of the ‐ the audience when they come in?" Colbert asked. " Do you think that changes what they get from the play or what they’re looking for?" Posted by: Fred 2019-08-01 |
