<\/iframe> \nActor Bryan Cranston just did something impossible for most Hollywood leftists: he criticized a Republican while keeping it classy.<\/p>\nHe was being interviewed on CNN about his upcoming role in the HBO film All the Way<\/em> where he will portray President Lyndon B. Johnson when the subject of Donald Trump came up. This is normally where Hollywood elitists would lose their minds \u2014 right, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/staceydash\/2016\/05\/tolerant-white-liberal-rob-reiner-calls-trump-supporters-racists\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\">Rob Reiner<\/a>? \u2014 but Cranston kept his cool and opted to state his difference of opinion while being complimentary in the process:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\u201cSo I will say right here, right now, on national television, that I believe Donald Trump loves this country. I truly believe that and I know he does.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\nI\u2019m sure all at CNN were squirming in their seats at such a suggestion. Then Cranston followed with his critique:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\u201cIt\u2019s just his approach to how to remedy America\u2019s problems differ greatly from what I think should happen.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\nCranston proved the larger point that disagreeing with another\u2019s viewpoint doesn\u2019t mean them a villain:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\u201cI want to promulgate the idea that just because someone has a different opinion than yours it does not make them the enemy.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\nAs <a href=\"http:\/\/injo.com\/2016\/05\/608487-bryan-cranston-says-trump-loves-america\/?utm_source=email&utm_campaign=afternoon-newsletter&utm_medium=owned\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" decorated-link\" rel=\"nofollow\">Independent Journal<\/a> noted, Cranston is very consistent in his philosophies. Last year when Trump first entered the race, the actor spoke positively about him saying he liked his \u201ccandor\u201d but not his policies.<\/p>\n\u201cThere\u2019s something so refreshing about shaking up that world that is all about being handled and here comes this loose cannon who has terrible ideas and would be a horrible president, but there\u2019s something great about his \u2018I-don\u2019t-give-a-s***\u2019 attitude that really kind of keeps others honest,\u201d Cranston said.<\/p>\nAnd that\u2019s how it\u2019s done, people. If more of Hollywood would have this guy\u2019s attitude, we might get along better.<\/p>\nThanks, Heisenberg!<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Actor Bryan Cranston
