Actress Minnie Driver has sparked controversy by insulting Trump supporters, suggesting they “really quite like a bit of a racist attitude” in their chosen candidate. Additionally, she dissed America’s founding fathers, asserting that there should have been some “mothers” involved in the creation of the country.
In an interview with The Times on Saturday, “Good Will Hunting” star Minnie Driver expressed her views on Trump and his tens of millions of supporters.
Driver spoke about the “revelation of the 70 million people who really quite like a bit of a racist attitude and non-existent immigration policies and dismantling the environmental agencies.”
“They were always there,” she added. “They weren’t created by him. He’s just a symptom, and now they’ve got a mascot.”
Driver, a British-born actress who obtained U.S. citizenship in 2017, stated that she believes Trump belongs in jail.
“Of course he deserves to be in prison — of course he does,” she stated.
“But just looking at how much money he raised in that two days, $53 million in a 48-hour period, and the idea that because the founding fathers — if there had been some mothers involved, perhaps it would be different — left no room in the Constitution for the idea that the American people could be so stupid as to vote for a felon, there is nothing reflected in the judiciary about what would happen if he wins,” she continued.
Driver lived in Los Angeles for several years but has recently moved back to the U.K.
When asked if she would ever live in the U.S. again if Trump is re-elected, she replied, “If I lived in a red state, no, I couldn’t.”
The actress has a longstanding feud with Trump and his family. In 2019, she recorded a dramatic reading of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report, which many on the left hoped would confirm Trump’s collusion with Russia in the 2016 election. When comedian Samantha Bee caused an uproar by calling Ivanka Trump a “cunt,” Driver added that she believed the insult was too mild for Trump’s daughter.
