Andrew Yang now pushing Matthew McConaughey as US president

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Former Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang believes that actor Matthew McConaughey could potentially get the United States out of its current “mess” if he runs for president in 2024.

Speaking with comedian guest Shane Gillis while recording an episode of Yang’s podcast “Forward with Andrew Yang” on Monday, the 47-year-old businessman-turned-political candidate opened up about the state of the country’s two political parties.

During the segment of the podcast episode that asked, “Do voters want an authentic president?,” Yang, who joined CNN as a political commentator in 2020, spoke about the Democratic Party, describing it as a group that expects people to follow rules and “act a certain way.” He added that the party he ran with during the2020 presidential election was “buttoned-up” and had a “certain way of presenting.”

“Then you have the Republican party under Trump, that’s become this anti-institutional, f*ck everything, burn it down, kind of energy,” Yang continued. “There’s a Republican establishment within that – that fought Trump and lost. … Now everyone’s going along with it.”

5. Sorry, Yang, you're a sore loser and a big disappointment.

Cut the third party crap which always leads to siphoning votes from Democrats and helping repubs.

Had promise but didn't do well in the presidential race and lost the NY mayoral race too. Too bad. So sad. Too proud to run for state assembly or Congress, just the two top jobs were good enough for your immanence.

nothing to be disappointed about.

7. No! .... just .... no

If McConaughey is anything, he's a Republican.

Why would Andrew Yang be pushing this?

[PoliticAverse]

8. I've seen his movies. He seems to get into a lot of messes. n/t

[RockRaven]

9. Which of the two people in this headline is more discredited by this headline's mere existence?

It's a toss-up to me.

[herding cats]

10. The little weasel said last week his 3rd party would be "a natural home" for Elon Musk.

Who had endorsed him in his Presidential run in 2020.

He's groveling for funding, IMO.

[Cha]

17. Yeah, "Elon Musk.. the Fascist trump"

fan.

Weasel is a good way to describe Yang.. he does a lot of that.

I just read that Musk Backed out of buying Twitter! This is What I wnated!

[Stinky The Clown]

13. Please use the double doors over there . . . . .

. . . . . and don't them hit you in your asses.

[2naSalit]

14. Just go home dude...

Find something constructive to do, please.

[WarGamer]

15. As far as I can tell... he's no different than a Susan Collins or Mitt Romney.

Better than Trump or DeSantis... but not my first or 5th choice.

[pinkstarburst]

18. No and No

Do not care what Andrew Yang thinks. I dislike the idea of billionaires and celebs deciding to run for president on a whim when they have zero political experience. I would not vote for Yang if he was our nominee. I would not vote for Matthew McConaughey if he were the nominee. When he time comes we will have a huge field of candidates who are actually qualified and have relevant experience. If Matthew McConaughey wants to run for office, he can start in the Texas state house and work his way up from there.

19. What? Why? Never mind. I don't wanna know. Just No.
