Robert Redford Calls Certain Congressional Members “Racist” and “Bigoted” (VIDEO)


Robert Redford Calls Certain Congressional Members “Racist” and “Bigoted” (VIDEO)
Published On October 16, 2013 | By Veruca |


I have always liked Robert Redford and these interviews with him only make me admire him more. Unafraid to speak his mind, to speak the truth.


“I think whatever idea I would have had to make things work just wouldn’t have been accepted by this minority faction. I think that no matter what you would propose they would go against it because their determination was to destroy this person. They wanted–if it meant destroying the government–anything to keep him from succeeding.”


“I think just the idea of giving credit to this President, giving him credit for anything, is abhorrent to them, so they’ll go against it. Never mind that it’s the better good of the people, never mind that they’re supposed to be in office representing the interest of the public. They’re representing their own self-interests, which is very narrow and in some cases bigoted.”


“There is a body of congressional people that wants to paralyze the system. I think what sits underneath it, unfortunately, is there’s probably some racism involved, which is really awful.”
