Seagal Praises Hacksaw Ridge, Trashes George Soros

Recently there was an Oscars-themed MMA party/gala, with money being raised for charity.  And the Guest of Honor was none other than Steven Seagal.  Here is what the Los Angeles Times said;

The first SMASH Global Pre-Oscar Gala, a charity awards fete celebrating MMA and action movies, also was the only Oscars week bash in Hollywood in which Academy Award nominee Meryl Streep, who unwittingly declared war on the MMA world by slamming the sport in her lauded Golden Globes speech, was persona non grata.

Here, the mere mention of Streep’s name sent a cacophony of boos rippling through the well-heeled crowd.

So it was to celebrate action movies too, not just MMA.  Seagal also took time to call for harmony between the United States and Russia, blaming George Soros disharmony.  “I think it’s coming from Obama and George Soros,” Seagal said of the media’s scrutiny of the Trump-Putin connection. “And I think that we need to be friends with the superpowers when at all possible. I think Russia and America should be brothers. I think we need them and they need us.

Of the past year’s movie, Seagal also added; “I liked ‘Hacksaw Ridge’ quite a bit,” he told The Times, “but I thought it was a bad year for films. I didn’t like much.”

When you think about it, Seagal liking Mel Gibson’s movie makes sense.  Mr. Seagal is a Buddhist, so the art of restraint is dear to him.
