White Liberal Director Unloads On White Liberals: ‘Grossest Of The Gross’

Hollywood director and producer Adam McKay was very upset with “white liberals” during a recent podcast appearance, a demographic that he would arguably fall into himself.

The “Don’t Look Up” director made the comments during a recent episode of the “Urgent Futures” podcast released earlier this week.

“We are being hit with the high-grade marketing and no group is worse than white liberals,” McKay said. “I mean, they are the worst. I’ve tried to talk to them about the climate. They are so smug and captured. And it boils down to privilege. I mean, when you talk to white moneyed liberals, they’re getting a lot from this broken system.” 

The Hollywood mainstay said he can’t believe anyone is still supporting Democrats, who he deemed too permissive and not radical enough for his taste.

“It’s incredible to watch people this far down the road still saying, ‘You gotta stand behind the Democratic Party,’” he added. “The same party that wouldn’t convict Trump of a crime after he told a crowd, ‘Go to the Capitol’ [and] the same party where the previous presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton, literally funded Trump’s campaign.” 

“At some point, I realized these are bad-faith arguments and conversations,” McKay went on before saying Republicans and Democrats were essentially the same.

“Once you kind of flip that switch and realize white liberals are full-on right-wingers and the Republicans are extreme right-wingers, by any international definition of right/left wing, you can’t support a party that doesn’t want universal health care. The Democrats don’t have that in their party platform. Kamala, Hillary never brought it up,” he ranted.

“The level of damage those creeps [Bill Clinton and Barack Obama] have done to our country, white liberals don’t even want to hear about it, because it’s inconvenient and unpleasant. So yeah, I almost can say I despise American white liberals. They are the grossest of the gross,” McKay said.

McKay, whose credits include “Anchorman” and “Vice,” once considered himself a Democrat. But he announced in November 2024 that he was considering leaving the party after Trump was re-elected. He said he was thinking about joining the Green Party or the Working Families Party, per Variety.
