    Default Monty Python Icon John Cleese Has Brutal Assessment Of Trump's Fox News Fans

    Comedy legend John Cleese said there may be no point in trying to argue with Fox News viewers who support President Donald Trump.



    ″The people who support him are basically so ignorant because they only ever get news from Fox News,” the Monty Python alum told The Daily Beast. “I don’t know what you say to people like that.”

    He added:

    To me, it’s like people who go and watch professional wrestling and don’t realize that it’s fixed. If they can’t see it when it’s right under their nose, I have no idea how they’re going to realize how wrong they are.


    Cleese also called Trump “an extraordinary caricature of an asshole.”

    “Every time he makes a decision, no matter how impulsive it is, it’s the one that makes him feel best about himself for the next 20 minutes,” he said.

    Good analogy. And of course he feels that way. They are dumb and brainwashed fools.

    Actors and comedians with foreign political opinions. So valuable.
    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    That's so precious. I love John Cleese. And I hate Donald Trump.

    “We’re at a time in American politics, that I am not going to lie on behalf of my presidential candidate, on behalf of my party. And I’m very sad that others in my party have taken the position that, as long as we get the White House, it doesn’t really matter what we say,”

    I remember him from back before he went senile.....
    Isaiah 6:5
    “Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty.”

    How did I get into a top tier engineering school without learning real math, real science, and real dates and events in history lol?

    I'll venture to say that my high school and college education far surpasses yours, plebe.
