Michael Moore: People Are ‘Unhinged’ That Obama’s Middle Name Is ‘Hussein’

Filmmaker Michael Moore said people “are so unnerved and unhinged by the fact that we’ve had two terms of a president whose middle name is Hussein” while discussing his protest outside of Trump Tower on Thursday’s broadcast of CBS’ “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.”

After Colbert brought up Moore protesting outside of Trump Tower with a sign reading “We are all Muslim,” he asked Moore about his belief that “campaigns that are based on fears or divisiveness are coming to an end.”

Moore answered, “They are so unnerved and unhinged by the fact that we’ve had two terms of a president whose middle name is Hussein, gay people can get married now, states are decriminalizing marijuana. I mean, this is the direction the country’s going.”
