Matthew McConaughey has elaborated on comments he made last week about the “illiberal left” and has explained why he thinks our society’s tendency to avoid true confrontation is “unconstitutional.”
Appearing live today (December 15) from his home in Texas on ITV show Good Morning Britain, the actor discussed topics ranging from fake news to freedom of speech.
“We need liberals, what I don’t think we need is illiberals,” he told hosts Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid. “What I don’t think some liberals see is they’re being cannibalized by the illiberals. There are extremes on both sides that I think are unfair… the extreme left and extreme right completely illegitimize the other side. They exaggerate the other side’s stance into an irrational state that makes no sense. That’s not fair.”
