Sharon Stone sure seems to be calling Donald Trump voters "uneducated" ... which some people think misses the point entirely.

00:00Sharon Stone is in Italy at a film festival, and you would think all she's talking about
00:06there is movies.
00:09But that was not the case.
00:10Sharon Stone brought up something, frankly, that I think is exactly what cost Democrats
00:18the election, and I think she's missed the point here.
00:23Here's what she said.
00:24Italy has seen fascism.
00:28Italy has seen these things.
00:32You guys, you understand what happens.
00:37You have seen this before.
00:39My country is in its adolescence.
00:43Adolescence is very arrogant.
00:45We haven't seen this before in our country.
00:48So Americans who don't travel, who 80 percent don't have a passport, who are uneducated,
00:58are in their extraordinary naivete.
01:03What I can say is that the only way that we can help with these issues is to help each
01:11other.
01:12So she never uses the word Donald Trump.
01:15But it sure seems like what she is saying is these people who voted for Donald Trump
01:22are uneducated and misguided.
01:26Like you are too stupid to understand who you voted for.
01:30And clearly she thinks Donald Trump is a madman.
01:32I would say that.
01:33I don't think Sharon Stone still gets it.
01:35That's why I always say, Harvey, stop calling the people who voted for Donald Trump stupid.
01:38They're not stupid.
01:40They're just not some A-list actress who hasn't had to go buy milk and worry about
01:45the price in 40 years.
01:48That's the difference.
01:49I will say this.
01:50Look, again, I don't want to take a side on this thing, but I think a lot of people say
01:56if you voted for Donald Trump, you're racist, you're homophobic, you're this and that and
01:59everything else.
02:00Yep.
02:01There probably are a lot of people who are racist and homophobic and the whole thing
02:03and xenophobic.
02:05There are also people who may have particular issues that they're concerned about.
02:09For example, maybe the biggest one, the economy.
02:12Maybe the second one, immigration.
02:14And it doesn't make you automatically racist if you voted for him for those reasons.
02:20But whether that's true or not, the reality is, is that one of the things that happened
02:27in this election that happened in 2016, you don't call people on the opposite side deplorables.
02:34You don't call them garbage.
02:36You don't call them stupid.
02:38And that happened.
02:39See, Kamala Harris, I think wisely, she attacked Donald Trump.
02:43Yes.
02:44She didn't attack the people who supported Donald Trump.
02:47Right.
02:48She didn't.
02:49Right.
02:50Her surrogates did, though, including the president.
02:51And Donald Trump attacked Kamala Harris.
02:54Yes.
02:55He also did go after people who supported her.
02:59And that's wrong.
03:00Yeah.
03:01But one of the reasons he won is because that there was this kind of movement to call people
03:08who supported Donald Trump all sorts of names.
03:10And I think they rebelled.
03:12Don't you think, Harv?
03:13They also need to if they want to win elections going forward in 26 and 28.
03:18This is not the way to approach this.
03:20You need to look and take a lesson.
03:22And most of the most of the mainstream Democrats, I think, kind of got that point.
03:26I'm just going to push back a little bit to what you guys are saying, because if you looked
03:29at Kamala Harris's campaign, I mean, she made a pretty substantial effort to bring in Republicans.
03:35You know, she was campaigning with Liz Cheney for a week during the run up to the election.
03:40She promised to put a conservative in her cabinet if she became president.
03:44I think what people are just really upset here with Sharon Stone's comments is to what
03:48you're saying, her condescending tone.
03:50Yeah, no, I agree.
03:52And Jacob, I will go one step further.
03:54It's especially bad when you get condescending if you're a big, rich celebrity.
03:58Right.
03:59I'm so sick of these actors.
04:00I think that really I mean, I don't know whether what's going to happen in the next
04:05cycle.
04:06Yeah.
04:07But you think people are going to push away from Lady Gaga and Robert De Niro and Oprah
04:12and all the celebrities who supported Kamala Harris.
04:15Right.
04:16Didn't make a difference.
04:17It means nothing.
04:18When you're that big and rich and you start getting condescending against people you disagree
04:24with, I think you have it's almost like, you know, everything has an equal but opposite
04:30reaction.
04:31Yeah.
04:32Sir Isaac Newton.
04:33I think that's where we are today.
04:34I did not think Isaac Newton was going to make his way into this.
04:37Boom.
04:38I'm Lily.
04:39I'm in London.
04:40I can see where Sharon's coming from.
04:41I can see where her frustrations lie.
04:44But to say the rest of America, to say America is uneducated when she herself is coming across
04:49uneducated, I think it's an interesting take.
04:52And at this point, you know, maybe stay quiet or do some research.
04:57That would have been smart.
04:58Don't you think?
04:59I would say so.
