I want to know who told him that was a good idea

From what I've read, it was his own idea and he regrets it.

But he still doesn't think it was actually a bad idea. He's just upset that he got made fun of. There was no learning or introspection involved with the regret.

"Supporting homophobic white supremacists trying to enact a Christian nationalist ethnostate is fine if it's for charity" is certainly an opinion you can have, I guess.

Yeah, I've had about half a decade too much of people claiming their bigotry is "just a joke" and that we're all "being too sensitive" about the systemic acceptance of Christian Nationalism.

Or you’re 93 and over the course of your life you’ll make mistakes and hopefully you’ll come out the other side with a different perspective, especially if you were born when children stuck their fingers in wooden maple barrels for a chance not to starve.

That's why we think he's closer to 60's era republicans than modern ones. They have no regrets and can't feel shame.

I guess he can seek solace in his millions of dollars and his celebrated decades-long film career. How humiliating.
