I’m guessing that after Matthew McConaughey‘s White House briefing room speech (delivered about an hour ago) many hardcore Republicans, not to mention the Texas gun-nut crowd (including Joe Rogan), probably regard him as a traitor.
Because what he said was eloquent and real and heartfelt. Responsible gun ownership. Background checks. Minimum age of 21 to purchase AR-15s. A waiting period. Red-flag laws and consequences for those who abuse them.
“People in power have failed to act. Can both sides see beyond the political problem at hand and admit we have a life preservation problem on our hands? We have to stand up for what we truly value…we gotta get some real courage and honor our immortal obligations instead of our party affiliations. We are not as divided as we are being told we are. We need to lead with humility.”
