Actor Jason Bateman was recently speaking with MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace, when he decided to trash President Trump and the people who voted for him, saying that Trump voters need a ‘talking to.’
Bateman should try talking to his sister, Justine Bateman, who has a much firmer grasp on reality than he does.
At one point he starts tearing into FOX News, completely ignorant to the fact that millions of Trump supporters actually hate FOX News.
Breitbart News has details:
Actor-director Jason Bateman believes Breitbart News readers and supporters of President Donald Trump are a problem. An admitted “huge fan” of MSNBC, the Arrested Development star told MSNBC host Nicole Wallace it’s a tragedy that the 80 million Americans who reelected Trump willfully “stay insulated from the facts and common sense,” by not “watching MSNBC or reading the New York Times.” His solution? Conservatives need “a talking to.”
“I happen to think MSNBC doesn’t drift from the truth,” Bateman tells Wallace on her The Best People podcast. “They just have this immense amount of really interesting solid facts to talk about and so they don’t have to freestyle and embellish.”
Talking about winning over voters, Bateman said “there is no attempt to hide [truth] from the Republican voters. It’s ubiquitous. You have to make a real effort to stay insulated from the facts and common sense. It’s everywhere. Except on Fox or Breitbart.”
“The Trump Show, I’m addicted to it. I really am fascinated. I can’t stop watching the things that he does and the things that says and marry that to the fact that there are 80-something million people that would vote again for him tomorrow,” Bateman says before admitting “it’s just a social phenomenon and a political phenomenon that I just can’t get my head around.”
Watch below. He has ‘tons’ of Republican friends, you know…

Smug celebrities would really do themselves a favor if they got out and talked with regular people once in a while.
