The beloved comedian and actor Rob Schneider has been the star of countless films in Hollywood throughout his career, but in his recent years he has put his reputation and future career on the line by stating his beliefs on the state of our country for the sake of his children.
Last year, the former Saturday Night Live star was outspoken about the show that brought him to fame for their portrayal of Hillary Clinton following her loss to Donald Trump in the 2016 Presidential election.
During the dramatic SNL skit Schneider said “I literally prayed, ‘Please have a joke at the end. Don’t do this. Please don’t go down there.’ And there was no joke at the end, and I went, ‘It’s over. It’s over. It’s not gonna come back.’”
Schneider recently appeared on Fox News to voice his feelings on the state of the United States and how it will affect future generations.
“When you have little kids, and you start thinking about, ‘Well, I got a good nest egg for them to take care of them financially,’ but then, like, what does that matter if the country that they live in where like, you know, you have a guy, a president wins at midnight, three in the morning and loses? At a certain point you have to think, what are you really leaving behind?” Schneider questioned.
“If enough people will just say, ‘enough of this,’ and it’s not just the Democrats, it’s the Republicans, too, because they don’t want to give up that power either,” he continued, pointing out the problems are on both sides of the political spectrum.
“It’s not going to be a perfect system. This is a, you know, this is a constitutional republic that we have — it’s not fair. It’s not going to be fair for everybody, but it is a better system. And all you have to do is look around to see what’s happening in Europe and China, and you go, like, ‘You know what? It’s still really darn good here,” he continued.
“But I do think we have to stop the encroachment of some sort of authoritarianism, which is happening now,” Schneider defiantly stated.
