Jeff Daniels on Trump Supporters: ‘You Can’t Just Want Your Taxes Lowered,’ Must Stand for ‘Decency’
EXCERPT:
DANIELS: "Yeah, it's -- you’re in the room. Now, that is as close — this play, what it does to white America is punches them right in the face."
HOST: "I agree."
DANIELS: “That’s what it does. And it does it in the first act and we’re kind of by intermission, people are going, we’re crying already, we’re moved already and we think it’s set up for the second act. It's -- this impacts people so that regardless of how they feel, they’ve kind of got to deal with it and then leave the theater and go, am I for this or am I against, because that seems to be where we are, when it comes to racism, when it comes to decency and civility and respect for others and the rule of law, are you for it or are you against it? You can’t just want yours taxes lowered and then be okay and not be bothered by it, that ship has sailed.”
