Jeff Daniels Says Democrats Need A Candidate To Take Trump On & 'Punch Him In The Face'

Jeff Daniels got fired up about the 2020 presidential election while making an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Tuesday (July 30)!

The Tony nominee told the audience that the racial themes of his Broadway play To Kill A Mockingbird are a stark wake-up call to a certain group of theater goers.

“It’s a mixed audience, but there’s a lot of… liberal white America sitting out there. This play is like a right hook to their chin. You watch the movie, you read the book, but you feel the play,” Jeff explained before comparing the story to the picture of a migrant father and his daughter after they had drowned while attempting to cross the border.

“You tell me that you’re going to go to the voting booth and you’re going to go, ‘They shouldn’t have crossed the river.’ Now there are people out there who believe that. Go ahead. Vote for him. Do it,” Jeff expressed.

“This is the second debate out of twenty? Jesus. You know, whittle it down, but we need somebody that can take this guy on, that can punch him in the face,” Jeff Daniels concluded – Watch the interview below!
