@@DenkyManner And so she should be. Her uncle Walter Brennan was one of the greatest supporting actors ever, in addition to being a brave soldier in WWI, and a man who donated to charities and was highly respected by peers like Gary Cooper, Fredric March, Spencer Tracy, Dana Andrews and a host of others. Why come out with this smear campaign when Brennan has been dead for over 60 years beats me, but it does not reflect well on those who post it.
There are plenty of nasty, ugly people in Hollywood… it all depends on one’s view. I think, Robert De Niro , Bette Midler fall into that category, but, that’s just my opinion. Both great actors/entertainers - But nasty - nasty people.

I agree! A person with strong beliefs and opinions doesn’t even come close to the Harvey Weinstein, Bill Cosby types that have been predators for decades.
He may have had radical views, but that hardly makes him evil. Evil would be people like Harvey Weistein, or Epstein, or any of their clients that like to mess with children, or engage in quid pro quo to get in an actress's pants. That's evil.
@@garyschwab8802 So what? The people that attacked the Capital called themselves "patriots" too ...and if that m****fucker really cheered when MLK and RFK died, he can burn to hell
Like many white people, they wear masks of hatred against the Most High’s chosen people. I still remember when some of these whites invited a brown man to a barbecue and ended up chaining him to the back of their truck and dragging him down the highway until he was nothing but bones. I believe Walter would have enjoyed that. But the Most High will reward him and all the murderers of His Chosen People!
I saw Walter Brennen being interviewed back I believe in the 60's and he was one of the most cordial and kind a person you could meet. He was a product of his time. I enjoyed his work despite the fact that wasn't a perfect person. By todays standards no one thats ever lived would pass the litmus test.
We have the right of choice of beliefs, opinions and sound mind no matter how adverse or discriminate. However I respect this great actor because he wasn't fake or phony. He spoke his mind no matter how adverse or diverse! He stuck to his guns no matter the opinions of others. His choice's and beliefs are protected under our Great Constitution. Freedoms of speech, choices and beliefs no matter how diverse, adverse or discriminate! Still a fabulous actor! RIP Mr. Brennan,!
General MacArthur and General Patton were called evil too. Sometime people forget that Douglas and George were born in the last days of the Calvalry. Men were raised to be rugged and tough in mind, body, and spirit
Brennan certainly held some outlandish political views. But I say he was dead on about the Supreme Court removing prayer from the schools. This country has gone down the tubes since prayer was forbidden. I did enjoy his appearances on the silver screen and the man was supremely talented. Humphrey Bogart is quoted as saying "All that an actor owes his audience is a good performance." Brennan delivered always.
That’s what churches are for. I’m sure you’d think differently if you practiced a religion that wasn’t followed by the majority. I dare say you wouldn’t want your kids going to a school where they’d have to pray to a non Christian God. The Supreme Court did what it’s designed to do: to uphold the Constitution.
I don't think his beliefs made him evil. He was born and raised in a different time and evidently was unafraid to state his opinion. As long as he didn't take and illegal action in support of his belief then I don't see him as evil. He is one of my favorite character actors.
A person can be talented and kindly to others, often family, children, as so on, and AT THE SAME TIME have evil thoughts and actions against OTHER RACES, OTHER RELIGIONS, other's politics and so on. It's all a matter of degree. Obviously Brennan did not follow the teaching of Jesus to not judge, do not hate, and love one another, since God created and loves all of mankind. So should know this.
@@freeedward8 Frankly we don't really know that he said those things or what his side is. No one was perfect except Jesus and yet there were 'self-righteous' people who despised and falsely accused him of evil. They weren't satisfied until he was crucified and died. Talk about evil. It's also NEVER a good idea to believe reports about a dead man that can't speak up for themselves. Proverbs 18:17-19 says. "Any story sounds true until someone tells the other side and sets the record straight."
…and Robert Byrd, West Virginia, still get love and admiration from the doting leftists! If you “hate” Walter Brennan for remarks he made long ago, you can’t pick and choose!
Well he was right about Socialists/Communists and LBJ’s legacy still lives on with far too many young Blacks growing up without fathers and we see how that has worked for them.
There is vague reference to the sources of his alleged behavior of "dancing for joy" at news of the assassinations, and there are also counterclaims that these are falsified. Either way, if true, it is not accurate to associate racism with the political right. We believe in conserving the power of government.. To that end we value human virtue as a substitute, including brotherhood.
Don't associate racism with the political (far) right?? Tell that to all the racist, bigoted Republicans who vote against anything that would bring equality and justice to those seeking it. More hatred and racism by far in the Republican Party--everyone knows this.
@@freeedward8 Nope. Only the indoctrinated invincibly ignorant believe legislation that dehumanizes the downtrodden and institutionalizes perpetual poverty constitutes anything that ourght to be characterized as "equality." Exploiters of the poor are the actual racists.
If I were you I would stay away from politics on your channel. It sounds as if your are a far leftist and enjoy the way the country is heading now. I lived through a good part of Walter Brennan's era never heard anything bad about about him. I don't think you were even born when he passed, and you are judging and condemning a deceased man based on a biography someone wrote about him. Normally I enjoy your channel, and I am not happy at this moment. Thumbs down...if this type of rhetoric continues I am out. Not that it matters too much.
You know, you could go out and listen to Brennan saying the things this video said he said by using a Google search. You sound like a far right nut job. BTW - someone who celebrated the murders of Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy is NOT a decent man. L BTW - it seems to matter to you - LOL.
@@enigmawyoming5201 Touché, very true, but Baldwin's punching and now killing, and Penn's punching people, and making friends with evil dictators that have killed many people...Each with no guilt is still both on the Cosby and Weinstein level.
My opinion of Brennan just went up a notch! I've always appreciated his acting abilities but now respect him for his patriotism. His concerns about social agitation by those intent on destroying civil order were well founded. I'm glad he is not here today to see the chaos this country is in. RIP Walter Brennan.
A "patriot" can be a racist?? ARE YOU PROUD of being a racist, too? It's people like you who think they are superior (I'm sure you are white) and "Oh, me? I'm not a racist!" LOL-- bet you think you're religious, too. You follow God's decree to "love one another- do not judge- let he who is without sin cast the first stone...etc." Blaming other races is against God's love of all mankind he has created. Patriotism? America was founded on welcoming ALL who are oppressed, all who were persecuted in their birth land- America welcomes and gives freedom to all the world's people. (Native Americans are the only original Americans-all the rest of us came from somewhere else on Earth). As for loving Brennan's TALENT, great! But remember, people are not just one sided--you can love him and his talent and his acting and at the same time not be aware of his other sides, like his well documented racism and beliefs.The FACT is Brennan was NOT ashamed of his racist beliefs as he was PROUDLY RANTING THEM PUBLICLY to anyone who would listen-you can look up his speeches, interviews, etc. on Google. Keep an open mind that don't know everything about this man.
@@freeedward8 I don't believe everything I'm told about others. The term racist has lost all its meaning today. The left uses this as a smear tactic against those they disagree with. One can criticize the civil rights movement because it had Marxist elements to it while accepting other aspects as legitimate. I'm sure Brennan was a more complex person than this bio presents.
@@66605 Sorry- "racist" has NOT lost it's meaning- the meaning is still the same---simple: "the belief that different races possess distinct characteristics, abilities, or qualities, especially so as to distinguish them as inferior or superior to one another." When the "left" points out, in fact, that someone, or some group is "racist" you can challenge their statement by offering an alternate FACT. You "smear tactic" is a lame excuse to try and justify racism as being acceptable. I think "evil" is too strong a word for the talented Mr. Brennan, but he did not try to hide his beliefs and was PUBLIC and PROUD of them. We are all complex that's a given.
@@freeedward8 Did you know Walter Brennan? If not you are relying on information that comes from others. How do you know it is true? I've seen the racist label thrown around so much it is meaningless to me. Believe what you want about Brennan. I like the guy.
Free speech is a double edged sword. When someone says something you disagree with might be feeling the same way when you speak! Saying he was a racist because you don’t like what he says is a little cowardly, hiding behind that label! At least he stood up for his beliefs and I never heard you say he deprived anyone of their rights in anyway! He has freedom of speech just as you have!
So what, He had Opinions People in Hollywood didn't like, there are People who don't like my opinions neither.. But then I don't care , this is America, you can have Opinions.. that's what makes America 🇺🇸 Great..
Anyone who thinks an actor playing a part is the same as the character being played, they obviously never learned how make believe works. If you were seeing Communism spread through the world the way it did after the second world war ended, and didn't think it was a threat you would've been seen as a dreamer. The Kennedys believed wholeheartedly in the domino theory like many other influential people at the time.
I’m 73 years old and I’ve heard a lot of crap in my life coming out of people‘s mouths but what this guy is putting out is the biggest load of crap I’ve ever heard The man has been dead for decades for someone to come out now with racism probably being one of the highest spoken about topics in the news in the last 10 years and to push it all this negative information about one person the only thing I can say is whoever this person is that’s putting out this video he must be a democrat cause like they say if the shoe fits oh well and to answer your question no I don’t think he was but you might be now
To say that he was "evil" is completely subjective to the sentiment of the times he lived in. All you are doing here is moving the goalposts to a place where they suit your own contrived definitions of today. Sorry, but as much you may think you do, you don't own history or its values. Nor do you own the future.
NO- throughout history- there has always been both racism and loving of all races. Brennan's career was not that long ago and he was in the minority of racists even then. People are not just one sided--you can love him and his talent and his acting and at the same time not be aware of his other sides, like his well documented racism and beliefs.The FACT is Brennan was NOT ashamed of his racist beliefs as he was PROUDLY RANTING THEM PUBLICLY to anyone who would listen-you can look up his speeches, interviews, etc. on Google.

sips facto: People are not just one sided--you can love him and his talent and his acting and at the same time not be aware of his other sides, like his well documented racism and beliefs. You can continue to love his acting, and your belief, of a "genuinely beautiful man" and realize you did not know of his other side. The FACT is Brennan was NOT ashamed of his racist beliefs as he was proudly ranting them to anyone who would listen-you can look up his speeches, interviews, etc. on Google. Keep an open mind that don't know everything about this man. In a libel suit, it would be easy to prove his beliefs since he was proud of them, and spoke publicly.
From what you say Walter Brennan didn't believe much differently from most of the people his age, I grew up around, including my Father and Grandfather. They were products of their times. Times change. Judging him or anyone else by the standards of today, is just plain ignorant. Mr. Brennan was and always will be one of my favorite actors. I no more look to him for advice on how to live my life and what to believe than I do any of the current crop of actors who couldn't carry his lunch box.
Please don't try to tar and stain those of Brennan's generation as having the same beliefs as Walter. Judged by the SAME standards as others of his generation, he was still a horrible person.
@@maryellenmacioge7609 Are Daniel Day-Lewis and Denzel Washington hacks? There are bad actors now, and there were bad actors back then, but they’re also great actors of both eras.
I was always under the impression that Brennan and Wayne were friends, and of a similar stripe when it came to politics. I do recall Brennan appearing in a political commercial for George Wallace, who stood at the entrance to the University of Alabama to block a few black students from attending that university. The evidence of evil is pretty thin here. His political beliefs were extreme, but evil seems hard to prove on hearsay evidence. The man is gone, and to bring up his memory the way that is done here is very inconsiderate of his family, and tries to put a mark on his achievement of 3 Oscars in five years.
I've noticed that you go out of your way to exaggerate people's flaws without considering the context of the times in which they lived. How incredibly woke/ ignorant.
He's got the same paranoia that certain media has spread to a large minority they hold on to till this day. He probably didn't believe cigarettes were bad for you either
His speeches, interviews, etc are all well documented on film, radio and newspapers back in the day. A man can have talent and kind to some, while at the same time be hateful toward other races. Jesus said God created and LOVES ALL races.
What a man he was. He is turning over in his grave right now. He knew what was really going on. Where are the real men like this now? No, he was not evil he was wise with knowledge and brains.
@@boondocks8002 "Hollywood was always best viewed at night. It could only hold the mystique in darkness. In sunlight the curtain comes up and the intrigue is gone, replaced by a sense of hidden danger. It was a place of takers and users, of broken sidewalks and dreams. You could build a city in the desert, water it with false hopes and false idols, and eventually this is what happens. The desert reclaims it, turns it arid, leaves it barren. Human tumbleweeds drift across its streets, predators hide in the rocks." ~ Michael Connelly ~ "Lost Light"

This one sided diatribe strikes me as character assassination. Facts verse , it would seem, most likely, only used bad press instead of stating solid facts. This piece seems very one sided and woke.
Let's not forget that a lot of people were racist back then and times have definitely changed. I'm sure if this man lived in this current timeline then he wouldn't have this way of thinking.
I loved Walter Brennan as an actor. I always watched the Real McCoys. Saying he was nothing like the characters he played can be said about most actors I think. Not excusing him, but there was a lot more prejudice back in those days, as well as paranoia about Russia and communism. He was flawed, yes, but to say he was the most evil man in Hollywood is just hyperbole.
And I'm sure Walt Disney and John Wayne in their prime had a lot of bad things to say about people off screen as well. This is why I think channels like Facts Verse hold little to no credibility because they just project a lot of things without any real evidence. Hollywood was and still is a master of illusion. It's all fake. We love when the actors make a good performance. What we see on camera is not necessarily the person off camera. Plenty of actors from Walter Brennan's heyday were quite different off camera. I already downvoted this video, not that anybody cares but this video was hyperbole from start to finish.
Thank God Walter Brennan remains popular despite all the hearsay contained in this sketch. He was a great artist and deserves to be remambered, regardless of his personal beliefs, including anticommunism and anti-civil rights.
@@adrianovasconcelos2739 There is no doubt that Brennan was a fine, talented, skillful actor. But at the same time, he was an unrepentant, paranoid, closed-minded, selfish racist. The son of Irish immigrants who themselves were persecuted both here and in England. Cheering the death of Martin Luther King, fighting for the right of his people to have a life, is sacrilegious!!
As I listen to this narrative... I’m asking myself... “HEY, SELF!!! I’M LISTENING TO THIS NEGATIVE NARRATIVE ABOUT WALTER BRENNAN, RIGHT”? Self says, “YUP, YOU ARE”! So, I ask myself... “SO, SELF... WHY AM I SUPPOSED TO BELIEVE WHAT THIS GUY IS SAYING “??? Self says... “WELL... YOU’RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BELIEVE HIM...

@@freeedward8 I hear what you're saying, but here's my problem. I'm old enough to remember lynching, blacks being burned alive in the South, Emmett Till, the 3 civil rights workers horribly murdered in Mississippi, Viola Liuzzo, etc. I remember the riots in Detroit. Armed National Guardsmen shot up an old 3 story house in Old Detroit. They saw what they thought was a flash from a rifle. In reality, it was a Grandpa lighting a cigarette while holding his baby granddaughter. She was killed. He died of a broken heart. No, My Friend, I can't overlook Brennan's virulent racism and hatefulness.
There is some PC that is ridiculous while there is some that is needed and someone who would celebrate the assassination of Martin Luthor King Jr. isn't someone that anyone would like to emulate.
Unless you have undeniable proof about these allegations such as video of him being racist's, I think you should think twice about creating these type of video's. It just doesn't seem right to me...
to John Duwe: Your comment is uneducated. His speeches, interviews, etc are all well documented on film, radio and newspapers back in the day. So what "doesn't seem right" to you?

@@freeedward8 90 percent of the hoolwood community HATED HIS GUTS. He is notorious for being a extreme BIGOT. He also openly said he hated jewish people. This isn't even open to speculation.
As an actor, especially a Western movie actor, he was fantastic. But in real life as a human being? I didn't know the man or anything about him or his private life. My favorite role of his was in "My Darling Clementine". "...when you pull a gun, kill a man".
I just watched him in "My Man Godfread", a bit part . I never had a problem with him and this yahoo who has a bone to pick with anyone conservative will likely find the next good actor to pummel. I would guess Kevin Spacey is untouchable...
Which thoughts of his came true, the Soviet take over, John Wayne’s communism,? Sounds like his failed businesses and business ventures left him angry and bitter. Like some other Republican failed businessman turned reality TV Star..
I could barely make heads or tails of that word salad you're trying to pass off as a sentence. And yes, he predicted that bigoted morons like you wouldn't just get lost and go away. You should be proud of your forebears.
This is not the first time this YT page has made unverified claims that well-known people were racists, bigots, communists and worse without any facts to back it up. Anyone making such inflammatory statements about those unable to defend themselves should include verifiable evidence of the claims being made. Would you make these statements if those people were still alive and capable of filing defamation lawsuits?
unverified.. you mean other than the words that he literally said to people? unverified.. as in the records of him giving speeches? I mean.. other than the first hand accounts of people he worked with, his family, and public records there is literally no evidence of him being a racist
This is contemptible. I used to enjoy this channel until it began virtue signaling. You speak of this man as if he was in charge of exterminating Jews for Hitler, "The Most Evil Man in Hollywood", and not an actor from decades ago when opinions like his were the norm.
Makes me want to see more of his work, I’m more familiar with his TV roles. Considering our current state of affairs, it appears he was right after all! Unfortunately, Hollywood is a cesspool today! Too bad we don’t have more actors like him!
The man can't defend his opinions as he isn't here but i suppose he would upset hollywood due to his republican and far right views. First of all he was a very good actor and beloved by millions that's his legacy !
Republican & far right views? As if republicans would do the same things? Or "far right" people? Celebrating the death of people & accusing people of being communist without proof? I don't think so
Only a liberal would reject and silence his freedom of speech which is our Constitutional Right. His views are still honored despite the extreme left opposition even today.
What amazes me is how many are entirely incapable of separating the actor from the man. They've been so captivated by his screen image they believe his screen characters are the same as the man offscreen. Shows how sad, pathetic and quite frankly scary these people are. Walter was a great character actor and was in great movies. That doesn't make him a good man. Jesus grow up!
Why not besmirch that far-right hater! He could act. I will grant him that. He was extremely toxic. Racist to the core. He celebrated the death of King and Kennedy? What sordid, skid-marked person would do that? Brennan!!
Of course he didn't show it in his acting. He blatantly showed it off screen. He celebrated MLK and JFK's assassination. That's just evil and despicable. My whole perception changed towards him for the worst, same for that racist Jimmy Stewart.
I don't know anything about Walter Brennan but I remember the Watts riots. I was 11 years old. When I saw that mob trying to burn down my neighborhood I would have been glad to see those machine guns in action. I don't know what they were so mad about but they left us much worse for years. We lost our local grocery store, bank and pharmacy. The fire nearly reach our building. My uncle's family wasn't as lucky. They lost everything and had to move in with us for two years. When I see what goes on today I cringe, we don't ever learn. Machine guns save lives.

Yeah, tell me all about those bloody democrats. You have a very hate filled, twisted mind!!
EXACTLY. JOSEPH MCCARTHY WAS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING. LOOK AT HOLLYWEIRD TODAY. AND THE GOVERNMENT. AND THE ABORTION INDUSTRY. AND THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM.
Walter was a man of his times. The modern folks can say what they want, but he was a successful and thoughtful man. He had beliefs and convictions and he stood by them. Many folks wave in the wind flapping to and fro with no foundation. I really enjoyed his work and think fondly of him. Many will scorn this next statement,; God will be his judge as with all of us.

I posted this earlier, I'll re-post it for you..... Would you still be for prayer at public schools if your children were forced to pray to Satan? When I was in 1st grade we celebrated Christmas by singing song, exchanging gifts, and taking part in Christmas pageants. The little girl next to me cried and cried the entire time. I couldn't understand why she was crying about worshiping Jesus but then again, at that time I didn't know what a Jew was !!!! No, prayer should not be in PUBLIC schools.

Why come out with this smear campaign when Brennan has been dead for over 60 years beats me, but it does not reflect well on those who post it.
There are plenty of nasty, ugly people in Hollywood… it all depends on one’s view. I think, Robert De Niro , Bette Midler fall into that category, but, that’s just my opinion. Both great actors/entertainers - But nasty - nasty people.
Let's not forget one of the worst of the lot, the murderer Alec Baldwin.

“The most EVIL man in Hollywood…” talk about hyperbole. Of course he was a flawed man, but I highly doubt he was the most evil in that town.
I agree! A person with strong beliefs and opinions doesn’t even come close to the Harvey Weinstein, Bill Cosby types that have been predators for decades.
Brennan was an American Patriot.
He may have had radical views, but that hardly makes him evil.
Evil would be people like Harvey Weistein, or Epstein, or any of their clients that like to mess with children, or engage in quid pro quo to get in an actress's pants. That's evil.

Like many white people, they wear masks of hatred against the Most High’s chosen people.
I still remember when some of these whites invited a brown man to a barbecue and ended up chaining him to the back of their truck and dragging him down the highway until he was nothing but bones.
I believe Walter would have enjoyed that. But the Most High will reward him and all the murderers of His Chosen People!
Hmmmm, but he is not here to verify this or defend himself..........
Exactly; he was white, and he’s dead. Instant “racist!”

We have the right of choice of beliefs, opinions and sound mind no matter how adverse or discriminate. However I respect this great actor because he wasn't fake or phony. He spoke his mind no matter how adverse or diverse! He stuck to his guns no matter the opinions of others. His choice's and beliefs are protected under our Great Constitution. Freedoms of speech, choices and beliefs no matter how diverse, adverse or discriminate! Still a fabulous actor! RIP Mr. Brennan,!
General MacArthur and General Patton were called evil too. Sometime people forget that Douglas and George were born in the last days of the Calvalry. Men were raised to be rugged and tough in mind, body, and spirit
Brennan certainly held some outlandish political views. But I say he was dead on about the Supreme Court removing prayer from the schools. This country has gone down the tubes since prayer was forbidden. I did enjoy his appearances on the silver screen and the man was supremely talented. Humphrey Bogart is quoted as saying "All that an actor owes his audience is a good performance." Brennan delivered always.
Good! Then you're in favor of your kid's class starting every day with an Islamic prayer.
That’s what churches are for. I’m sure you’d think differently if you practiced a religion that wasn’t followed by the majority. I dare say you wouldn’t want your kids going to a school where they’d have to pray to a non Christian God. The Supreme Court did what it’s designed to do: to uphold the Constitution.
Separation of church and state.
"Almost forgotten"? HARDLY!
I don't think his beliefs made him evil. He was born and raised in a different time and evidently was unafraid to state his opinion. As long as he didn't take and illegal action in support of his belief then I don't see him as evil. He is one of my favorite character actors.
Walter Brennan was one of the best character actors I’ve ever seen. I will never believe he was an evil man.
A person can be talented and kindly to others, often family, children, as so on, and AT THE SAME TIME have evil thoughts and actions against OTHER RACES, OTHER RELIGIONS, other's politics and so on. It's all a matter of degree. Obviously Brennan did not follow the teaching of Jesus to not judge, do not hate, and love one another, since God created and loves all of mankind. So should know this.
@@freeedward8 Frankly we don't really know that he said those things or what his side is. No one was perfect except Jesus and yet there were 'self-righteous' people who despised and falsely accused him of evil. They weren't satisfied until he was crucified and died. Talk about evil. It's also NEVER a good idea to believe reports about a dead man that can't speak up for themselves. Proverbs 18:17-19 says. "Any story sounds true until someone tells the other side and sets the record straight."
@@linjp2773 What nerve you have trying to compare Walter Brennan to Jesus! He was no Jesus! You should be ashamed of yourself!
No more evil than other actors of that era.

Evil? What words do you choose to use for people who murder, rape and torture?
There is vague reference to the sources of his alleged behavior of "dancing for joy" at news of the assassinations, and there are also counterclaims that these are falsified. Either way, if true, it is not accurate to associate racism with the political right. We believe in conserving the power of government.. To that end we value human virtue as a substitute, including brotherhood.
Don't associate racism with the political (far) right?? Tell that to all the racist, bigoted Republicans who vote against anything that would bring equality and justice to those seeking it. More hatred and racism by far in the Republican Party--everyone knows this.
what kind of dance did Walter do? The twist, shimmy, or the chicken?
@@freeedward8 Nope. Only the indoctrinated invincibly ignorant believe legislation that dehumanizes the downtrodden and institutionalizes perpetual poverty constitutes anything that ourght to be characterized as "equality." Exploiters of the poor are the actual racists.
If I were you I would stay away from politics on your channel. It sounds as if your are a far leftist and enjoy the way the country is heading now. I lived through a good part of Walter Brennan's era never heard anything bad about about him. I don't think you were even born when he passed, and you are judging and condemning a deceased man based on a biography someone wrote about him. Normally I enjoy your channel, and I am not happy at this moment. Thumbs down...if this type of rhetoric continues I am out. Not that it matters too much.

My opinion of Brennan just went up a notch! I've always appreciated his acting abilities but now respect him for his patriotism. His concerns about social agitation by those intent on destroying civil order were well founded. I'm glad he is not here today to see the chaos this country is in. RIP Walter Brennan.
A "patriot" can be a racist?? ARE YOU PROUD of being a racist, too? It's people like you who think they are superior (I'm sure you are white) and "Oh, me? I'm not a racist!" LOL-- bet you think you're religious, too. You follow God's decree to "love one another- do not judge- let he who is without sin cast the first stone...etc." Blaming other races is against God's love of all mankind he has created. Patriotism? America was founded on welcoming ALL who are oppressed, all who were persecuted in their birth land- America welcomes and gives freedom to all the world's people. (Native Americans are the only original Americans-all the rest of us came from somewhere else on Earth). As for loving Brennan's TALENT, great! But remember, people are not just one sided--you can love him and his talent and his acting and at the same time not be aware of his other sides, like his well documented racism and beliefs.The FACT is Brennan was NOT ashamed of his racist beliefs as he was PROUDLY RANTING THEM PUBLICLY to anyone who would listen-you can look up his speeches, interviews, etc. on Google. Keep an open mind that don't know everything about this man.
@@freeedward8 I don't believe everything I'm told about others. The term racist has lost all its meaning today. The left uses this as a smear tactic against those they disagree with. One can criticize the civil rights movement because it had Marxist elements to it while accepting other aspects as legitimate. I'm sure Brennan was a more complex person than this bio presents.
@@66605 Sorry- "racist" has NOT lost it's meaning- the meaning is still the same---simple: "the belief that different races possess distinct characteristics, abilities, or qualities, especially so as to distinguish them as inferior or superior to one another." When the "left" points out, in fact, that someone, or some group is "racist" you can challenge their statement by offering an alternate FACT. You "smear tactic" is a lame excuse to try and justify racism as being acceptable. I think "evil" is too strong a word for the talented Mr. Brennan, but he did not try to hide his beliefs and was PUBLIC and PROUD of them. We are all complex that's a given.
@@freeedward8 Did you know Walter Brennan? If not you are relying on information that comes from others. How do you know it is true? I've seen the racist label thrown around so much it is meaningless to me. Believe what you want about Brennan. I like the guy.

Free speech is a double edged sword. When someone says something you disagree with might be feeling the same way when you speak! Saying he was a racist because you don’t like what he says is a little cowardly, hiding behind that label! At least he stood up for his beliefs and I never heard you say he deprived anyone of their rights in anyway! He has freedom of speech just as you have!

Anyone who thinks an actor playing a part is the same as the character being played, they obviously never learned how make believe works.

Loved this actor!
To say that he was "evil" is completely subjective to the sentiment of the times he lived in. All you are doing here is moving the goalposts to a place where they suit your own contrived definitions of today. Sorry, but as much you may think you do, you don't own history or its values. Nor do you own the future.
NO- throughout history- there has always been both racism and loving of all races. Brennan's career was not that long ago and he was in the minority of racists even then.

Just watched in 2022. Yeah he was spot on in many ways. Sure could use a bunker with guns in LA now or hell anywhere. Sad truth
this entire video could be used as evidence of a libel law suit for the relatives of Mr Brennan
sips facto: People are not just one sided--you can love him and his talent and his acting and at the same time not be aware of his other sides, like his well documented racism and beliefs. You can continue to love his acting, and your belief, of a "genuinely beautiful man" and realize you did not know of his other side. The FACT is Brennan was NOT ashamed of his racist beliefs as he was proudly ranting them to anyone who would listen-you can look up his speeches, interviews, etc. on Google. Keep an open mind that don't know everything about this man. In a libel suit, it would be easy to prove his beliefs since he was proud of them, and spoke publicly.
Pretty sure he was a huge country music star and won lots of awards...

I doubt that this is true. Walter Brennen was a man who loved his country and was not evil as stated in this video.
History may prove Walter Brennan to be at least partially correct politically... FJB
From what you say Walter Brennan didn't believe much differently from most of the people his age, I grew up around, including my Father and Grandfather. They were products of their times. Times change. Judging him or anyone else by the standards of today, is just plain ignorant. Mr. Brennan was and always will be one of my favorite actors. I no more look to him for advice on how to live my life and what to believe than I do any of the current crop of actors who couldn't carry his lunch box.
Please don't try to tar and stain those of Brennan's generation as having the same beliefs as Walter. Judged by the SAME standards as others of his generation, he was still a horrible person.

I was always under the impression that Brennan and Wayne were friends, and of a similar stripe when it came to politics. I do recall Brennan appearing in a political commercial for George Wallace, who stood at the entrance to the University of Alabama to block a few black students from attending that university. The evidence of evil is pretty thin here. His political beliefs were extreme, but evil seems hard to prove on hearsay evidence. The man is gone, and to bring up his memory the way that is done here is very inconsiderate of his family, and tries to put a mark on his achievement of 3 Oscars in five years.
It's OK for the LEFT to hate, and BURN DOWN CITIES. Oh that was the summer of love in 2020.

I loved Walter Brennan as an actor. I always watched the Real McCoys. Saying he was nothing like the characters he played can be said about most actors I think. Not excusing him, but there was a lot more prejudice back in those days, as well as paranoia about Russia and communism. He was flawed, yes, but to say he was the most evil man in Hollywood is just hyperbole.
And I'm sure Walt Disney and John Wayne in their prime had a lot of bad things to say about people off screen as well.
This is why I think channels like Facts Verse hold little to no credibility because they just project a lot of things without any real evidence. Hollywood was and still is a master of illusion. It's all fake. We love when the actors make a good performance. What we see on camera is not necessarily the person off camera. Plenty of actors from Walter Brennan's heyday were quite different off camera.
I already downvoted this video, not that anybody cares but this video was hyperbole from start to finish.

There is no doubt that Brennan was a fine, talented, skillful actor. But at the same time, he was an unrepentant, paranoid, closed-minded, selfish racist.

I knew him and his wife. This video is poisonous nonsense.

Looking out what’s going on in the country he was almost a future predicting person. Most of his thoughts of actually became true.

Only a liberal would reject and silence his freedom of speech which is our Constitutional Right. His views are still honored despite the extreme left opposition even today.
What amazes me is how many are entirely incapable of separating the actor from the man. They've been so captivated by his screen image they believe his screen characters are the same as the man offscreen. Shows how sad, pathetic and quite frankly scary these people are. Walter was a great character actor and was in great movies. That doesn't make him a good man. Jesus grow up!

Why not besmirch that far-right hater! He could act. I will grant him that. He was extremely toxic. Racist to the core. He celebrated the death of King and Kennedy? What sordid, skid-marked person would do that? Brennan!!
I liked Walter Brennan and don't remember him being a racist or evil.
My favorite movie featuring Mr. Brennan was Northwest Passage.
Thank you for sharing your favorite movie of Walter! What other types of video would you like to see?
Were you personal friends with him?
Of course he didn't show it in his acting. He blatantly showed it off screen. He celebrated MLK and JFK's assassination. That's just evil and despicable. My whole perception changed towards him for the worst, same for that racist Jimmy Stewart.
Did you know him personally or just from his fake on screen persona 🤔
@@Chefjoe63 Racist.
I don't know anything about Walter Brennan but I remember the Watts riots. I was 11 years old. When I saw that mob trying to burn down my neighborhood I would have been glad to see those machine guns in action. I don't know what they were so mad about but they left us much worse for years. We lost our local grocery store, bank and pharmacy. The fire nearly reach our building. My uncle's family wasn't as lucky. They lost everything and had to move in with us for two years. When I see what goes on today I cringe, we don't ever learn. Machine guns save lives.
Summer of 2020 also should have been handled very differently
" I don't know what they were so mad about..." Obliviousness is not a significant indication of cognizance.🙄
@@sammccue500 clown. You’re not articulate, and neither is your AI-assisted comment
Growing up watching the real mcoys I loved this guy.I get a kick of how every single thing now turns into racism😂
You mean, like racism?
Then you'll love the real facts
Regarding Thanksgiving.
Folks want to rewrite history because it's easier to research and compile your thoughts.
The hate you gave is searchable.
Lies are dispelled.
Sometime in the future MalcomX won't be Black anymore.
Sorry to say Racism is Racism. To cheer when MLK and RFK died is wrong.
@@nathansanford846 But we don't really know that that was his reaction.
He was right about those bloody democrats.
Another American hater. What's wrong, don't you love our 1st amendment rights?
Here is the typical mindset of right wingers. Benghazi - 4 Americans died. CRIME OF THE CENTURY BY THE DEMOCRATS screamed the right wingers. The Iraq war - 4000+ Americans died and an estimated 1 million innocent Muslims died from the war fully supported by the right wingers in Congress and the right wing President - Not a peep from the right wingers.
Yeah, tell me all about those bloody democrats. You have a very hate filled, twisted mind!!
No to me he sounded like any person that has their mind made up.He was a great character actor.I love him as grandpa McCoy.May he RIP 🙏
my kind of person he was
he had a right to his opinions but a great actor
Resting In Piss
@@yankeecanivers2654 Follow the teachings of Jesus-do not judge, do not hate...love one another. The Golden Rule. No place on Earth for Racism.
"remarkably paranoid and always thought that the Communists were plotting to take over the world"
Maybe he wasn't so crazy
EXACTLY. JOSEPH MCCARTHY WAS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING. LOOK AT HOLLYWEIRD TODAY. AND THE GOVERNMENT. AND THE ABORTION INDUSTRY. AND THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM.
Walter was a man of his times. The modern folks can say what they want, but he was a successful and thoughtful man. He had beliefs and convictions and he stood by them. Many folks wave in the wind flapping to and fro with no foundation. I really enjoyed his work and think fondly of him. Many will scorn this next statement,; God will be his judge as with all of us. Are you ready for the Judgment? Your time is coming......
Well said, we strongly concur! Thank you for watching our content and for sharing your thoughts. What other types of video would you like to see?
So is yours and mister Brenenn will be asked why he treated his fellow human's like that
Those who live in glass houses, throw the first stone.
@@user-ml8mx3bc2t I got lots of glue and tape I don't worry about anything because I got friends in all races all races
Sad that you in evangelical America think Christianity is only good for racism and whites
I would not know if he was a bigot. Didn't have any inklings when he was alive, and I don't like to pass judgment on people who have died and cannot defend themselves,
So you can't read or watch videos? Using your criteria Hitler wasn't a bad man at all. After all, he's not here to defend himself. Right!
@@bjbell52 Your comment is outrageous and childish. There are thousands of hours of video documentary showing Hitler’s hatred for Jews, Catholics, Russians, and anyone who was not blonde hair and blue eyed. Grow up!
Well said Mr. Johnson!
@@bobholmes65 You grow up. There are videos showing Brennen saying exactly what the video says he said.
And I LOVE the way you twisted what I was saying. I was NOT saying Hitler wasn't evil. I was using the criteria used to declare Brennen not guilty to Hitler. It was ridiculous in BOTH cases.
Oh and go F yourself while you're at it. You're an a-hole !!!!
Then why did you click on the video after reading the title ?
He was the greatest man in hollywood up there with john wayne! His politics and views were 100% dead accurate!!!!
i can only say one thing about this man he made me laugh at some of the worst times in my life, i can only speak for myself rest in peace WALTER BRENAN,. and thank you for the good times
His speeches, interviews, etc are all well documented on film, radio and newspapers back in the day. So what "doesn't seem right" to you? The right to educate the public through free speech? A man can have talent and kind to some, while at the same time be hateful toward other races. Jesus said God created and LOVES ALL races.
@Reflections of a Disciple of Christ Communists? Really? Is this 1953? You can't be serious. Education might change your mind, but I doubt it. (What would Jesus say about love for thy neighbor...and races?)
@Reflections of a Disciple of Christ Don't confuse your interpretation with Jesus' actual intent (which we may never know). A lot of so-called 'Christians' pick and choose bits from the 'Bible' they wish to believe according to their interpretation of it. Typically you are very judgmental. Sad.
Agree gizmo. My husband died recently - i watch Rio Bravo & Wagon Train every day bc Mr Brennen’s characters always give me warm fuzzies & i desperately need that right now. … about to watch the Over the Hill Gang - Walter Brennan, Chill Wills, Jack Elam etc - never seen this one but the cast tells me it’s going to be great! 🤞🏻💞
Ps Hope you are currently doing well? 🫶🏻
You told us a lot of bad things he said but provided zero proof
This whole video is proof. What don't you understand?
@@jeff901 No he didn’t provide much proof. All of it may be true but all it was was narration.
@@gutenbird If it was true, it doesn't matter how he stated it.
@@jeff901 Yeah, it matters. Someone making the case for you being a POS may be perfectly correct but I’m not going to just believe you are a POS without some evidence.
@@jeff901 it was full of accusations with no video or written proof
He nailed the Communists correctly.
You do know the Apostles of Jesus were communists, right? Look it up, it's in Acts.
I disagree!
Wayne was probably not a communist.
As the narrator says in the beginning, if you disagreed with him about anything, you were a commie, so no, he didn’t “nail” communists.
I’m not sure about your opinions and so called, homework. Perhaps some is true, I suppose but I watched him in a interview and he was very polite. To be honest with you? I think prayer Would be much better than some of the things they are teaching in school. It just sounds like a get woke video to me
OMG- So he was POLITE!!! Gee, that would convince me that he loves all races, and not have political opinions that may be libel.
me too.....
An elderly man expressing racist views during the counterculture movement and the urban riots is hardly surprising.
I'm sure you felt great about yourself after making this. There's nothing like trying to slander a man that's been dead for decades. That takes courage. You should be proud. If you want to know what evil is I think you should go look in the mirror.
AMEN TO INFINITI !!!!!!
I AGREE. To make Walter Brennan as the devil, is totally unfair. This channel is totally woke.
hells to the ya!! why should we ever mention if a person is extremely racist, misogynistic, homophobic, bigoted, or so filled with hate that even John Wayne was too liberal and socialistic. Why should we hold anyone accountable for anything they say or do to propagate hate, violence, and fear?
This man should be applauded for being the epitome of everything that is wrong with humanity.
When will these woke, snowflake, libtard, tree-hugging, commie, c*ck, tea drinking wusses wake up and just let good people like Walter Brenna rip apart and deny them their rights?
this guy had publicly held racist views, which part did you agree with? I think most people would find them distasteful, including the person making this video. if you hold other opinions you could always piss off. cheers
@@keithmichael112 You know what I find distasteful? Virtue signalers like yourself. Hyper opinionated liberals that believe that they and their leftist moral code make them saints. Whatever the man's opinions were he was entitled to them. I don't recall him breaking any laws. Except for some pseudolaw like a hate crime that has no basis in reason or logic. One day hopefully those "laws" will be struck down as unconstitutional like they should. Remember, everyone has a right to their own opinion whether you agree with it or not. If you don't agree then debate the issue civilly and maybe one day we can all be saints like yourself. Have a nice day.😙
Today he is proven right in most of views. Not evil.
Absolutely!
@allwaysdoubletap None of his fears came true. He was wrong about everything. Where was it proven that the Russians were going to invade and take over? Where is the proof that civil rights was a communist plot. That was based on his racism and hatred for black people. Radical right wingers are all evil. I liked Walter Brennan. I still do. nobody's perfect. I have a lot of friends who vote republican. None of them are radical.
I’m glad Mr Brennan wasn’t ashamed to hold fast to his beliefs. I don’t consider him a racist. He was a wonderful man and actor. Proud of him.
Rader:
You're glad he was a damn racist? What the hell for? That's pretty fucked-up, and despicable.
Good actor ...poor human...being
@@alondathomas293 🤛👍
Now I agree with him on keeping prayer in school and courts
I posted this earlier, I'll re-post it for you.....
Would you still be for prayer at public schools if your children were forced to pray to Satan?
When I was in 1st grade we celebrated Christmas by singing song, exchanging gifts, and taking part in Christmas pageants. The little girl next to me cried and cried the entire time. I couldn't understand why she was crying about worshiping Jesus but then again, at that time I didn't know what a Jew was !!!!
No, prayer should not be in PUBLIC schools.
Okay, let's have Muslim prayer in schools.
Not evil but not so good either. There were millions of Americans that shared his views at the time.
Reading some comments here and replacing "Walter Brennan" with "David Duke" so the racist supporting commenters sound more sane...
If he thought John Wayne was a communist.Why would he work with him so much. I think your facts are a little off.
This guy has no facts. He's a Democrat. He makes up crap then broadcasts it as if it were real
$$$$$ That's why. Funny that.
John Wayne was a Bigot and Racist his self, Hollywood was a breeding ground for racist and still to this day. If you love these type of actors, you'll look past their evil ways. They only care about the people who controls the movies and money, not you!
Bingo 👍
He thought John Wayne was a communist!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Walter Brannan was the best supporting actor of his era. This kind of trash was never been said or reported during his career or the span of his life and this channel should be ashame to try and do this to his Legacy.
Because it's obvious nonsense
Agree
Cancel culture is a product of current times..
@@momster64 and will end up being Cancelled itself
@@momster64 just because some people are stupid doesn't mean you have to believe a lie.
Self opinion & Conjecture about a man Who stood tall AMOUNGST HIS PEERS, You have no awards or Will you every have His opinions were from experience & Learning about life the hard way.. I admired him as an actor & for what he brought to the screen over 50 years His personal beliefs were HIS & not for you to benefit from with your accusations He may have just told the truth, Where yours are Or maybe Lies
The narrator of this will be forgotten much quicker and have less impact in his field than Brennan.
beautifully spoken Pete.
brennan was a low life racist
I absolutely loved Walter Brenner , he's not evil that man wanted prayer. Have you ever heard him quote prayers on screen?
Why would WB "quote prayers on screen" when he had to adhere to the script?
@@ericblair54 why, I don't know why probably before my time I've heard it on UA-cam somewhere. Perhaps he was a God fearing man, who loved and believed in God.
@@patroll330 I never understood that phrase,
"God fearing." If God is so loving and benevolent why should you fear God?
Just bc you believe in God doesn't make you a good human being.
@@ericblair54 have you ever heard about the phase, God fearing man? I'm assuming people want to live by the Bible and fear hell for living ungodly.
@@ericblair54
I believe in God, but I've to admit, you're totally right on this :
believing in God DOES NOT make you necessarily a good human being!
But Jesus Christ told it himself:
not everyone, who had called him 'Lord', will be accepted by him on judgement day, because many of them were just bigots.
