Latest has-been "actor" to go right-wing political...

Especially check out the picture of John Schneider (from "The Dukes Of Hazzard" TV show) in the story.
He looks like hell.

'Dukes of Hazzard' actor attacks Biden as floods hit his state: 'We don't need the government coming in'

Actor John Schneider of the Dukes of Hazzard called for unity while verbally attacking President Joe Biden as new flooding hit the state of Louisiana, where his property is located.

During an interview on Fox & Friends, host Steve Doocy shared photographs of the destruction on Schneider's property, including several photos of a "General Lee" car that was used in his hit show. In one photo, the Confederate flag painted on the top of the car has been smashed by a fallen tree.

"Apparently Biden is going to come show his face in Louisiana and I wish he wouldn't," he remarked. "We've got more problems on our hands. We don't need him. Obviously, there are things going on in this country now. People need your prayer, they need your help."

The Fox News host noted that Biden would "bring disaster relief and that's what your state does need."

Isn't it weird how the charlatans who are always so sure they know that God's smiting the people they don't like all develop lockjaw when someone they like is on the receiving end?

"We don't need the government coming in"???? Of course you do. There is no profit in disaster relief. The government is the ONLY thing that can help!

That's a good way to unite us, John - slam the president!

I recall that my nephew used to watch that shitshow with his grandpa when he was two. He's 42 now, so... This kind of math is easy. That's a long time to harbor that much stupid. Still has that stupid fucking car, glad it got wasted, there is some kind of justice after all.

have been a scam on the auto auction circuit for years. They tell you the car was "the actual General Lee car used on the show", and some drunk idiot pays a half million dollars for it. They used over 125 of those cars during the production run of that show. Most of them were wrecked, but some not too badly and they are worth fixing at that selling price.

He mostly has stayed under the radar, but he was making "pro-life" films a decade ago, and professed his love for Trump back in 2016. This is just more of the same.

I didn't watch teevee back then, I was on the road too much, so I can't tell one actor from another from back then.
