Woke mob slams Matthew McConaughey after he refuses to endorse Democrats in Texas elections

Daily Mail ·

Matthew McConaughey has urged Texas voters to consider independent candidates in the midterm elections, while declining to endorse a party or candidate. His appeal drew criticism from people who said it could split votes and weaken Democratic candidates, as well as suspicion from some that he was indirectly helping Republicans.

In a six-minute social media video, the 56-year-old actor encouraged independent voters to turn out and assess whether candidates represent their views, arguing that independents could act as a check on both major parties. The article says Democrat James Talarico was narrowly ahead of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in the Senate race. The US House was divided 218 Republicans to 214 Democrats, with one independent member, Kevin Kiley, who caucuses with Republicans.
