Morgan Freeman has always been one of my favorite actors and humans. He is not just a gifted actor, but a great humanitarian. His soft spoken demeanor shows a gentle, kind soul, but his life’s work and political involvement show him to be a visionary.
ALL THE GOOD Video ad narrated by Morgan Freeman

Morgan Freeman has narrated a series of ads for Hillary and is going to actively campaign for her in the primaries and general election.
In a CNN interview, as he officially endorsed Hillary, he called “Political Hogwash” on those who try to portray Hillary as untrustworthy, and that is aimed at those on the right as well as Bernie surrogates and acolytes who try to latch onto right wing themes or create their own to cartoonize Hillary as someone who is not to be trusted on anything.
Morgan Freeman: I support Hillary for President because of her knowledge, her proven abilities.
Don Lemon: For you it sounds like this is about trust. Who you trust.
Morgan Freeman: Yes. Yes. Absolutely!
Don Lemon plays video of Bernie surrogate Taylor Gipple questioning Hillary on trust at the CNN Town Hall.
Don Lemon: Do you think she has a trust issue?
Morgan Freeman: No, not with me she doesn’t. … All you need in some cases, people, is to say it, put it out there, and it gets legs. The Clintons have been beat down ever since, from way back, so she just has gone along with that legacy, that she’s inherited over that amount of time she’s been in politics, which is a long time. I think this is just made up stuff, political hogwash.
MADE UP STUFF, POLITICAL HOGWASH. Exactly right. We expect these smear tactics from the right, it’s what they do. Way too many on the left, in their attempt at propping up Bernie and willing him to the nomination, have adopted such tactics against Hillary as well, even going as far as quoting Republican attack lines, linking to the “Daily Caller”, and so forth. It is political hogwash, whether it comes from the right or the left. And, it isn’t going to work once again.
