Filmmaker Michael Moore: We Are Blessed to Have Joe Biden in the White House
The president "kept his word," Moore says
He's skewered conservatives and corporate titans. And he's equally lauded and promoted progressives and progressive causes.
He's acclaimed filmmaker Michael Moore, who's been outspoken for decades having produced more than a dozen feature films, as well as additional TV programs, books, podcasts and more.
Moore's 1989 debut documentary, Roger & Me, told the story of the closure of automotive plants in his native Flint, Mich.
Today this most-famous native of Flint is speaking out again, this time for President Biden, who has been embattled over his handling of the US withdrawal from Afghanistan.
“I think that I’m so proud of President Biden, who I did not vote for in the Michigan primary, I voted for and I worked for Bernie Sanders. And I have been completely surprised and feeling that we are all blessed to have Joe Biden in the White House in these last months, his first year in office, all of the things that he’s done,” Moore said in an on-air interview with MSNBC. “Not just in standing bravely and never walking it back like a politician and especially a Democratic politician would. They would get afraid of the Republicans and the right wing telling them that he was a coward and withdrawing from Afghanistan.
“Democrats have such a history of walking things back like this. He wouldn’t walk it back. He just said, 'No, this is wrong. I promised you when I ran for office, I’m pulling those troops out. This war is going on way to long.' And that is exactly what he did. A politician kept his word,” Moore added.
