Michael Moore to the 'angry white men' of America: 'What are you scared of?'

Academy Award-winning documentary filmmaker Michael Moore asked for the “angry white men” of America to “just take a break” in an interview on Thursday.

During an appearance on "Late Night with Seth Meyers," Moore said that he, being an “angry white guy over 50 with a high school education,” is part of President Trump's targeted demographic.

But he said he and his “fellow angry white American guys” have been “running the show for 10,000 years," and it's time to give someone else a chance.

“It’s like, we’ve had a long run as men running everything and the Yankees could never win as many pennants as we’ve won in these 10,000 years as men,” Moore said.

Balloon parade we attended. Those guys want to turn the clock back which of course is impossible. They are so scared of losing their former status and power. A global economy and the US population no longer being a majority white country is driving them and their testosterone to anger and violence.

The poor babies are victims of the modern world...boo fucking H OO!

only gets those who hate MM to go out and vote for Rs. He is a flashpoint for the rubes, just like Hillary.

Out of sight, out of mind is what Ds need from MM right now.

Every conservative PAC attack ad here regarding congressional races shows Pelosi's face and links the candidate to "Pelosi's agenda" or "will vote with Pelosi." She's as much a lightning rod as Moore, and she's doing the talk show rounds.
