Matthew McConaughey criticizes Hollywood ‘far left;’ says the right is in election ‘denial’

Matthew McConaughey is doing his best to demonstrate during his current, seemingly unending book promotional tour that he is different from other Hollywood stars who discuss politics.

The “aggressively centrist” McConaughey, 51, decried “far left” Hollywood political types during a podcast interview with British comedian Russell Brand.

“There are a lot (of people) on that illiberal left that absolutely condescend, patronize, and are arrogant towards that other 50 percent,” said the Oscar-winning actor while promoting his memoir “Greenlights.”

Brand brought up politics when asking about societal “condemnation and criticism” of “ordinary working people.”

There’s “kind of an offhandedness, of like, ‘Oh, they’re dumb, they’re voting for Brexit, they’re voting for Trump.’ I don’t like it, and I don’t like to hear it,” said Brand.

McConaughey, who has expressed a budding interest in politics during the book tour, says the attitude of the “far left” prevents the two opposing political sides from coming together. He listed the Hollywood reaction to Donald Trump’s 2016 surprise presidential election win as an example of this attitude.

“Many people, I’m sure you saw it, in our industry, when Trump was voted in four years ago, they were in denial that it was real. Some of them were in absolute denial,” McConaughey said.- Source
