Academy Award-winning director Adam McKay unleashed a rant against voters blindly standing behind the Democratic Party.<\/p>\n
The lefty filmmaker \u2014 who directed such comedic classics as \u201cAnchorman,\u201d\u00a0\u201cTalladega Nights\u201d and\u00a0\u201cStep Brothers\u201d \u2014 slammed \u201cwhite liberals\u201d during a recent interview on the \u201cUrgent Futures\u201d podcast.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is incredible to watch people this far down the road still say you gotta stand behind the Democrat Party. The same party that wouldn\u2019t convict Trump of a crime after he told a crowd, \u2018Go to the Capitol,\u2019\u201d McKay said. \u201cThe same party where the previous presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton, literally funded Trump\u2019s campaign.\u201d<\/p>\n
The director, who won an Oscar for his screenplay for the 2015 film \u201cThe Big Short,\u201d also accused Democrats of \u201cmanipulative marketing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are being hit with the high-grade marketing, and no group is worse than white liberals. I mean, they are the worst,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ve tried to talk to them about climate, they are so smug and captured. And it boils down to privilege. I mean, when you talk to white moneyed liberals, they\u2019re getting a lot from this broken system.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is time to abandon the Dem Party. I\u2019m registering Green Party or Working Families. But am open to ideas,\u201d he wrote in a since-deleted X post.<\/p>\n

\u201cWho would have guessed lying about Biden\u2019s cognitive health for 2 yrs, refusing to do an open convention for a new nominee, never mentioning public healthcare & embracing fracking, the Cheneys & a yr long slaughter of children in Gaza wouldn\u2019t be a winning strategy?\u201d he wrote on X.<\/p>\n
