Liberal filmmaker Michael Moore voted for President Obama in both presidential elections, but now says there are some decisions the president has made that have left him wanting more.
Moore told Fox News’ Megyn Kelly Tuesday night Obama risks only being remembered as the first black president if he does not take more action on policies that are important to Democrats.
“I wrote to him and said you’ve gotta get off the dime here and do some of the things we elected you to do,” Moore said.
Moore criticized the first two years of Obama’s time in office when he had a Democratic majority in Congress and may have been able to pass a single-payer health care system or close Guantanamo Bay.
The Fox News interview was Moore’s first since he spoke with Sean Hannity in 2009. Kelly said Tuesday night she was taken aback by how defensive Moore was of her in the Trump feud she was caught up in during the first GOP debate. He commended Kelly for calling out Trump on her question about a war on women, saying she struck a nerve that no politician has been able to since then.
“You have done something that Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, Rubio, Cruz, none of them have been able to do, which is essentially to frame him, make him run, shut him down,” Moore said.
Kelly accepted the compliment, but with noticeable hesitance.
