The Star Wars actor, 82-year-old Harrison Fordmade a rare endorsement for Kamala Harris and said he never really wanted to talk about it. “I’ve been voting for 64 years, never really wanted to talk about it very much, but when dozens of former members of the Trump administration are sounding alarms, saying “for god sake don’t do this again”, you have to pay attention,” the Indiana Jones actor said in a black-and-white video that he released.
“They’re telling us something important, these aren’t soft people. They are governors, generals, standing up against the leader of the party they spent their lives advocating for.”
“For many of them, this will be the first time they’ve ever voted for someone who doesn’t have an R next to their name.
“They know this really matters, the truth is this – Kamala Harris will protect your right to disagree with her about her policies or her ideas.
“As we have done for centuries, we’ll debate them. We’ll work on them together, and we’ll move forward.
Talking about former president Donald Trump, Ford said, “The other guy, he demands unquestioning loyalty, says he wants revenge. I’m Harrison Ford. I’ve got one vote – same as anyone else – and I’m going to use it to move forward. I’m going to vote for Kamala Harris.”
Ford said he doesn’t agree with everything Kamala Harris and Tim Walz stand for, they are not perfect. “These two people believe in the rule of law. They believe in science. They believe that when you govern, you do so for all Americans.”
“They believe that we are in this together. These are ideas I believe in. These are people I can get behind.”
“The other guy, he spent four years turning us against each other while embracing dictators and tyrants around the world.That’s not who we are. We don’t need to make America great again. Come on, we are great, but what we need is to work together again. What we need is a president who works for all of us again,” he said.
