Things are not alright, alright, alright when it comes to Matthew McConaughey.
Just finished listening to @McConaughey being interviewed by @jordanbpeterson and I was really impressed. Both of you had interesting and intelligent things to say. Will put both books on my 2021 reading queue. Thanks for the effort. Enjoy life!

Yeah, see, it’s stuff like talking to Jordan Peterson that’s got McConaughey in the Daily Beast’s crosshairs now:
"So, what’s a guy like Matthew McConaughey—an Oscar winner whose easygoing attitude has allowed his early-career role catchphrase “All right, all right, all right” to follow him for decades—doing reading a twerp like that?" asks Laura Bradley. https://t.co/3KUqnZrTUB

It'd be a lot cooler if Matthew McConaughey wasn't flirting with alt-right darlings https://t.co/9FTKtJCbXH

He’s not allowed to do that!
Daily Beast publishes this hit piece suggesting Matthew McConaughey has been associating with the lat-right.
Their cited examples are @joerogan, @benshapiro, & Jordan Peterson. Whatever you think of them, they aren't remotely alt-right. https://t.co/5B27xyXSwm

Who cares? They’ve set their sights on him. They can’t stop now.

Translation: It’d be a lot cooler if Matthew McConaughey would clear potential interviewers with us first.

Matthew McConaughey Didn’t Toe The Liberal Hollywood Line, And We Are PISSED pic.twitter.com/3RJLiQqxni

This piece is basically *Cancel culture doesn't exist but let's cancel Matthew McConaughey just in case* https://t.co/OnxNrvNIYN

Basically.
I don’t approve of Matthew McConaughey’s thoughts and the people he talks to, so I’m gonna pretend they’re alt right. It’s particularly hurtful for me bc I really loved him in Magic Mike. *files copy* https://t.co/f1cHMTWzwe

"Alt-right" is the new "teabagger." It just means "not a liberal."

Bingo.
Is Matthew McConaughey partly to blame for the Capitol riots? Maybe, maybe not. Just asking questions. pic.twitter.com/Nx9yYjv3Up

Pathetic.
@JordanBPeterson, @BenShapiro & @JoeRogan are not alt-right. This is deliberate & malicious misinformation. Where are the fact checkers?
Peterson has dismantled the entire alt-right philosophy. Ben Shapiro was the #1 target of alt-right attacks. Joe Rogan is on the left.

Not one person named in this article is alt-right. Daily Beast loses credibility when it posts articles that calls @joerogan alt-right. The author of this article has zero critical thinking skills and should be embarrassed.

You should be ashamed of this trash hit job. Those people are not Alt Right for starters. You may want to watch him talking to @EmmanuelAcho. Stop these divisive games.

After reading this ridiculous article at least it made one thing very clear. The author is very very angry, and hates a lot of people. I'm thinking they probably had a crush on Matthew or something because the whole thing reads like a jealous ex spewing off. Journalism? ????

It does serious damage to actual efforts to counter and condemn the alt-right when you start suggesting mainstream voices are in the same category.

It’s almost as if the Left makes things worse in the name of making things better.
