5:42Now PlayingChuck Woolery is a vocal conservative game show host. He recently went on Fox News to yell at people on minimum wage. Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"Chuck Woolery, game show host turned podcaster, brandished his conservative bona fides on Sunday by opposing an increase in the minimum wage and reminiscing about the 1950s-era blackballing of actors for political dissent.
During a promotional appearance for his new podcast, Blunt Force Truth, Woolery blasted actor Matt Damon for taking a swipe at presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and condemning a banking system that “steals people’s money” while delivering his commencement address for MIT’s class of 2016.
“In the ’50s in Hollywood if you spoke for communism, you were blackballed,” Woolery recalled. “In the ’90s and 2000s in Hollywood if you speak for communism, you’re rewarded for it. But if you speak against communism, you’re blackballed.”
According to the former Wheel of Fortune host, liberal policies like increasing the minimum wage to $15 an hour would have dire consequences on the U.S. economy.”*
