Famed celebrity actor Matthew McConaughey slammed Hollywood elites for patronizing conservatives.
According to media sources, the star blasted out on all those who display hypocrisy over the 2020 US election results. Meanwhile, news agencies quoted the actor calling out plenty from the entertainment industry for crude behavior when it came to politics.
Recently, the celebrated superstar made an appearance on the star podcast of Russel Brand, ‘Under The Skin.’ Here, he abruptly answered a bold question regarding whether or not he saw people criticizing other ‘ordinary working people’ over everyday political issues.
On that note, the host certainly didn’t hold back. “There is a particular type of offendedness,” he mentioned. “It’s like oh, they’re so dumb, they voted for Brexit, now they’re voting for Trump”

Meanwhile, the star from ‘True Detective’ also expressed how he never understood why people are so hypocritical over the 2020 US election outcome. He went on to add how people were always willing to judge President Trump’s supporter’s when it came to expectations for an immediate acceptance of the election outcome.
Matthew also pointed out that a number of his own peers from the Hollywood industry found it difficult to accept the 2016 US election results. Today, the roles are reversed. And just like they couldn’t accept Trump’s victory at that time, they can’t expect Trump’s supporters to accept Biden’s victory with great ease.
Besides, Matthew pointed out how Biden is now ‘our guy.’ Therefore, “you’ve got every right that’s in denial because their side has a lot of fake news. I understand they’ve plenty of fake news. However, no one knows what to believe anymore.”
The star ended his opinion on the matter by expressing how people should act responsibly, reframing their political conversations. And for that, daring each side to meet in the middle is one of the best possible ways forward.
