Subdeacon Joe Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 "I don’t know if I should present this award, on behalf of all the cowboys shot in all the John Ford Westerns over the years," Eastwood joked." Poking fun at virtue-signaling before virtue-signaling was the Law of the Land. The controversial remark occurred during a 1973 Academy Awards ceremony Quote Actor and director Clint Eastwood has been targeted by "cancel culture" on social media this week over a clip from a 1970s awards show. The clip in question comes from the 1973 Academy Awards in which actor Marlon Brando famously refused to accept his award for best actor in "The Godfather" and instead sent a Native American activist on stage to lament Hollywood’s treatment of American Indians by the film industry.

Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Clint is the actor the Left loves to hate the most. Especially because he never quits, never gives in, and keeps making movies at 91. And they keep selling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 I don't think he ever "flip flops", but remains the same. Your repeated references to him here as anti-gun are exaggerated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
