In a new interview, the famously outspoken chef and TV host doesn't mince words about Trump and America
Like many Americans, Anthony Bourdain is deeply worried about what the future of this country will be under President-elect Donald Trump.
“No fan of the Clintons am I, by a long shot,” Bourdain told Eater in an interview published on Wednesday. “But I’m a New Yorker, Donald Trump is a New Yorker. And the New Yorkers I know, we’ve lived with this guy for 30 years. I’ve seen Donald Trump say things one day, and then I saw what he did the next.”
. . . .
He was also critical of the left.
“But I think to mock constantly, as so much of the left has done — to demonize, to ridicule, to treat with abject contempt people who live in a very different America than they live in — is both ugly and counterproductive,” Bourdain said. “There are a lot of people who are pissed off, they’re tired of being talked to like that.”
. . .
He also had harsh words for liberals who believe Trump’s election will lead to such a disaster that it will cause a left-wing revolution.
“I think it was Lenin who said one of my favorite lines: ‘On the train of the revolution, we will lose the liberals at the first turn,'” Bourdain said. “It’s always worth remembering: In any revolution, whose heads are gonna be on the pike first? Us. And shortly after that, the originators and founders of the revolution.”
