Hollywood director Adam McKay criticizes white liberals in his criticism of the Democratic Party

Hollywood director Adam McKay introduced White Liberts during an interview Wednesday where he criticized the Democratic Party.

“I could go on with a list of 400 things, which is the same group that kept health care a secret,” McKay told host Jesse Damiani during his “Urgent Futures” podcast after insulting prominent members of the Democratic Party. “That, you know, went on and on. And it was like, we’re getting hit with high-level marketing and there’s no worse group than the White liberals.”

“I mean, they are the worst. I tried to talk to them about the climate. They are smug and they are captured. And in fact, it boils down to the right. I mean, if you talk to the liberals of the White money, they get a lot from this broken system. So at one point, I realized that these are bad faith arguments and negotiations,” he said.

McKay said he cannot support a party that does not support universal health care.

“You can’t support a party that doesn’t want universal health care. The Democrats don’t have that in their party platform. Kamala, Hillary never raised it. If you’re like Norway or France or Australia. And you were like, we don’t need universal health care. People will be like, ‘You’re a Nazi,'” he said.

McKay continued, “Like even the neo-Nazi groups in Europe aren’t campaigning against nationally mandated health care. So I think the US is basically an island nation and there’s no group of people, you know, that have heads full of bees more than White liberals. Like, I’ve heard the craziest s— from White Libers.”

McKay argued that White Libers benefited from the system and only cared about their class and social status.

“I can say that I despise American liberals,” he said. “They are the worst of all.”
