Harrison Ford says 'we gotta start talking politics'
| Fox News ^ | 2/18/20 | Tyler McCarthy

Posted on 02/18/2020 12:04:19 PM PST by conservative98

Harrison Ford is dipping his toe into political waters, noting in a recent interview that talking about politics has become unavoidable.

Days after the 77-year-old actor appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live and called President Donald Trump a “son of a b----,” he was asked about his recent forays into talking politics in an interview with CBS News. The star responded by noting that politics has become too divisive and called for a return to “the middle ground.”

"I think it's come to the point where we gotta start talking politics," Ford said. "But we gotta talk about it in a positive way. We gotta regain the middle ground. We're in these ideological enclaves. But the truth is in the middle. Progress is made in the middle."

When asked if he thought it was possible to get back to the middle ground, the Han Solo actor’s response was blunt.

“We damn well better,” he shot back.

Ford was on hand to promote his new film, “The Call of the Wild,” which he says spoke to his personal beliefs about climate change and human beings’ impact on the natural world.

Harrison Ford doesn’t want to “talk” politics h demands that you acquiesce to his...

I we were to “talk” politics he’d actually have to defend his positions and hypocrisies and I highly doubt that will be happening anytime soon.

Any talk that does not denounce Communism in all forms is bullstalin.

Some people get a bit soft in the head as they age. Let's be charitable. But, I wonder if this is newfound lefty fervor, or was always there, or is a sign of incipient dementia.

The Natural World. What part of this movie is natural? The preview makes it look all CGI!

Ah, Mr. Ford, many of your Hollywood friends lost a lot of popularity because of their Leftist politics. Get out of that club.

The divisiveness in politics is caused by the left elitists.

I hope the movie bombs based on the fact that Harrison
Ford is an ignorant geezer @sshole suffering from severe TDS.

He’ll never make any progress if he insists that the far left’s positions are “the middle”. Right off the bat he is trying to define anyone who disagrees with him out of the conversation.
