Actor James Woods calls out Bernie Sanders. He said Bernie Sanders is a Moron

Woods frequently criticizes Clinton, Obama; favors Fiorina, Reagan


Actor James Woods, who frequently gets political on his Twitter account, called out Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders on Monday for a tweet about China.

Sanders tweeted, "China -- not exactly seen as a model when it comes to human rights -- provides 14 weeks of paid maternity leave. The US provides zero."

Woods responded within a few hours: "China has notoriously killed female infants for population control, you utter moron. #ChinaGendercide"

Sanders did not respond to Woods' tweet on either his senatorial account or his presidential Twitter accounts. In his senator bio, it says that tweets signed by "-B" are from the senator and the rest are from his staff. His tweet about China was not signed.

After that tweet to Sanders, Woods wrote on Twitter, "Basically Bernie is this commie scarecrow put up to make Hillary look palatable by comparison, right? There is no other rationale possible."

In fact he supported the whole Bush administration and their stupid war.

I don't give a shit what James Woods thinks.

Personally I think after his HBO film "Citizen Cohen" he absorbed the role of Roy Cohen and has been acting like that since then.

S0 Bernie points out that the US is horrible when it comes to maternity leave by comparing to China - AND - qualifies it by saying they're not a model for human rights - and Woods assumes Bernie loves China.

Whatever.

it's what he's been doing for years. Blames Liberals for stymieing his career.

There are plenty of hard looking and hard working actors that can play the role of a disenfranchised cop walking the line between good guy and bad guy.

That being said that was a foolish tweet.

But when it comes to what James Wood's says I don't care.

Very surprising.

Yet they still favor boy babies, to the ridiculous point that apparently did not occur to them - the boys grow up and there are no girls to marry.

I really do not care what any Hollywood critter has to say about the election. Even the critters I like.

They just need to stfu. I cannot imagine that any sentient human would change their vote based on what some silly actor might say.

Silliness.

He's a right winger. A ringing endorsement from the likes of him would concern me.
