The Cheese Grates It: WTF Zoe Saldana?

The following thoughts are musings on some incomprehensible statements made by Zoe Saldana in this article on the Daily Beast.

Saldana says: 

“We got cocky and became arrogant and we also became bullies,” Saldana told AFP of Trump, who’s mocked a disabled New York Times reporter, called Megyn Kelly a “bimbo,” accused Ted Cruz’s father of assassinating JFK, and has himself been accused of sexual assault by over a dozen women.

“We were trying to single out a man for all these things he was doing wrong,” she continued, “and that created empathy in a big group of people in America that felt bad for him and that are believing in his promises.”

The Daily Beast responds:

There is this strange argument, one cooked up by the Trump campaign and propagated by the conservative media apparatus, that Hillary Clinton (and by extension her Hollywood surrogates) ran an “ugly” campaign against Trump. The reality, of course, is that virtually all of Clinton’s attack ads against Trump consisted of montages of Trump saying heinous things. Accusing someone of running an ugly campaign for merely highlighting the sexist, bigoted, hateful things her opponent’s said is textbook gaslighting.

The Cheese Grates It:

I'm sorry, but I'm not awfully worried about being perceived as a bully when it comes to a "man" who talks about grabbing women by the privates, who mocks disabled people, who wants to create a registry for all people of a given faith and from certain parts of the world, and so on. Not that I'm part of Hollywood (thank whatever powers there may be for that) but I don't feel the least bit bad about any "rude" things I may have said about Donald T. Rump. Oops, there I go again.
