That is a good question. Wish we could get to the bottom of this, because news of this magnitude shouldn't have been in the form of an op-ed piece. Eastwood has been one the most high profile conservatives in Hollywood. I can see the truth in his comments, but an outright endorsement of a liberal seems very very strange.
What I have read I do not see an endorsement of Bloomberg as President by Eastwood.
I read him saying he would like 'to see Bloomberg in there', which I took to mean in the Democrat nomination as President.
I can truthfully say I would like 'to see Bernie in there' as the nominee of the Democrat party.
Does that mean I want Bernie as President?
Of course not.
The headline from what I read is fake news and bad journalism. However, the actual interview I did not hear or read to see Eastwood's exact words.
