Adam McKay attacked the Democratic Party during a recent appearance on the Urgent Futures podcast, accusing “white liberals” of being “the worst” in American politics.
“It’s incredible to see people this far away still saying we should support Democrats, the same party that didn’t convict Trump even though he told the crowd to ‘go to the Capitol,'” McKay said. “This is the same party that former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton literally funded Trump’s campaign with.”
McKay, previously an outspoken Democrat, announced on social media that he was leaving the Democratic Party after Donald Trump secured his second presidential term in November 2024. He wrote to X at the time: “It’s time to abandon the Democratic Party. I intend to register with the Green Party or Working Families. But I’m open to the idea.”
The same night, he posted, “Who would have thought that lying for two years about Biden’s cognitive health, denying a public convention for a new candidate, never mentioning public health care, and condoning fracking, the Cheneys, and a year-long massacre of children in Gaza wouldn’t be a winning strategy?”
The Step Brothers director now says the Democratic Party is adept at “manipulative marketing” and can list “400” examples of how they have wronged the American people. The biggest factor behind this is the “privateness of medical care.”
“We’re bombarded with high-end marketing, but no group is worse than white liberals. I mean, they’re the worst,” McKay explained. “I’ve tried to talk to them about the climate, but they’re so self-righteous and captive. And it comes down to privilege. I mean, when you talk to liberals who have white money, they’re getting a lot out of this broken system.”
