Liberal actress Kathleen Turner, who in the ‘80s starred in such films as Body Heat and Romancing the Stone, is thoroughly baffled as to why some people don’t trust Hillary Clinton. Talking to the Washington Post, Wednesday, the celebrity opined, “I really truly think a lot of this comes down to white men thinking that they’re losing all their power, and they’re scared s—less.”
Regarding Clinton, a confused Turner exclaimed, “I honestly do not understand the so-called distrust of Hillary. I really don’t.” She minimized, “I understand the confusion over the emails and a lot of the procedural stuff that’s very iffy. But I don’t see how that adds up as distrust of her altogether.”
The Washington Post reporter probed Turner’s regret that she didn’t punch the now deceased Strom Thurmond when the opportunity arose:
In your 2008 memoir you tell the story of how you almost punched Senator Strom Thurmond —
Oh, I wish I had.
Do you?
Absolutely. But that was over the National Endowment of the Arts. [Turner had traveled to Washington in 1990 to lobby for more arts funding and met with Thurmond, the a Republican senator from South Carolina who sat on the Senate Labor and Human Resources Committee.] Well, he called me ‘little lady,’ and I didn’t like that.
So you wish you had clocked him?
Oh, I would have enjoyed it so much.
