In a rare moment of candor from Tinseltown, actor Rainn Wilson has ripped into the Democratic Party for its glaring double standards.
Best known for playing the quirky Dwight Schrute on the hit sitcom The Office, Wilson didn’t hold back when discussing the controversy surrounding Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner.
Platner, a Democrat running for office, has come under fire for sporting a N*zi tattoo. Conservatives have rightly highlighted the disturbing symbol as evidence of extremism that has no place in American politics.
Yet, as Wilson pointed out, the reaction from the left has been anything but consistent.
Wilson appeared on Fox News and delivered a blunt assessment of the partisan games at play. He noted how the right has condemned the tattoo, while Democrats seem eager to sweep it under the rug.
“The political right is all up in arms about it [Platner’s tattoo], ‘Oh, he’s a racist, see?’” Wilson stated.
“But they won’t look at their own side when people show racist tendencies or say racist things.”
He didn’t stop there. Wilson turned the mirror back on the left, admitting their behavior mirrors the very flaws they accuse others of having.
“And it’s the same on the left,” he stated.
“They’re willing to overlook the Platner N*zi tattoo, but if it was someone from the other side that had a tattoo that was questionable, they would be all over MSNBC about it.”
This kind of honesty exposes the rotten core of modern politics. Populist voices on the right have long argued that rules seem to apply only to one team.
When a conservative slips up, the media machine springs into action with wall-to-wall coverage and demands for resignation.
But let a Democrat embrace something as vile as N*zi imagery, and suddenly it’s crickets or excuses.
Wilson’s frustration resonates with millions of working-class folks tired of the elite’s selective outrage.
These are the same people who see their communities changed by policies pushed by the very politicians who lecture them about tolerance.
“So, it’s the hypocrisy that gets me the most,” Wilson said. “It’s the hypocrisy of, like, both sides need to have, kind of, equal standards of behavior.”
Equal standards. That’s a radical idea in today’s Washington, where power protects power.
We should be looking at the numbers of Muslims starting to show up in New York no matter where you shop and, in our schools, and on our streets. They are setting the standard of treatment for people in this country and it starts with women and our govts, state and federal, that are saying well it’s their religion. Not in this country, it is still abuse and the govt is allowing it to become embedded as legal and usual as a cultural aspect of this country. First, women and then men. This attitude being forced on us and being taught in schools as perfect and necessary will be what destroys this country not socialism because we are aware of socialism as politics but Islam uses religion to grow their rotten political system. We need to start looking at how Islam is expanding in this country and also be aware of both systems and willing to say no to the bad stuff we don’t normally as a country allow, their abuse of people with no rights. .
