I wouldn't call this the most evil man in Hollywood, compared to the casting couches of the directors and producers who solicited minors. He was just a man of his time and to think communist countries weren't trying to sow chaos in the US back then is naive. I am sure they supported both sides just like other nations are doing now in the US.
Considering the child raping cannibals (not conspiracy theory by witness testimony) that populate Hollywood, Brennan was not great but no where near as evil as most of the recent Hollywood bunch. As for his political views, there was a Communist agenda. I didn't believe it years ago, now it's obvious and you have only to read their own playbook. Joe McCarthy for example, was obnoxious as a personality to many people, but he was basically right about his accusations. In recent years this has been hard to realize as I gradually found out the truth.
People today would be surprised just how many people felt just the same way as Brennan did about the political situation back then... I always feel it's sad with hatchet jobs like this looking at issues 60 years in the past through the lens of today... People born well over a hundred years ago had different standards right or wrong they lived by back then. It did not necessarily make them evil... The 60's was a complicated period politically and socially. Not everything Brennan said about outside influence shaping events was wrong.
Walter Brenan was a great actor, I don't care about his private life; that was never a part of the deal, and as long as someone isn't committing a crime, their beliefs and ideology are theirs. Unless we're actual friends that have to deal with each other what he does outside the profession of acting is none of my business.
Looks like old Walter was able to see right up into 2024. His ideas about communism and socialism were not that inacurate . He could see what was up ahead. Good old Walter.👍
Walter was an actor, which means he lived his life playing people that were not real. People say they love him but they love the characters he played, not him, they don't know him.
an Oscar is special. just say he was the first to win 3 Oscars (and stayed alone in that category for decades ,like Willie Mays, was alone in the '600 HR club' for decades. ) 3 Oscars .nobody cares if it's a 'supporting' role in hindsight. an Oscar is an Oscar is an Oscar .while we're at it, Barry Bonds, if not for PED's, BB would still be loitering in the 600 club. it's truly amazing how much better a ballplayer Mays was than Bonds and so many others,while we're at it.
Based is the word. He based his actions on charity and assisted a great many charities. If you meant biased, don't worry, there is not a human being in the history of mankind who has not been biased in some way. That is no crime. Next thing we'll have Big Brother watching out thoughts!
He was right for protesting the removal of school prayer and Im with him 100% on the fact that the Beetles suck😂. Look at the state of the world today. No one is afraid of God so mass shooting after mass shooting. Also my father was a pastor and I still remember him sitting me down and explaining why our family voted democrat. He explained democrats are for the little guy the small Business man. If my father could come back to life and watched the DNC he would say son your generation is in trouble.
I thinkWalter was a great person and actor, I see no evil he’s done. I think the communists and socialists of America, put him in a different way, just saying!
I hear that 2024 and guess what things that he was saying about communists trying to overthrow this country of ours I didn't come from the outside stores with like he fought it came from within and now look at the mess that the United States of America is in Ulster Brandon with a lot of things but he was an honest man giving an honest opinion about controversial things nothing but love respect and admiration for that man thank you
Growing up the Real Mccoys was on tv, He gave me the creeps. He was a good actor in other roles. His politics, involvement with the John Birch Society, his racist views, communist conspiracy views are disturbing to me. That he danced a jig at the assassination of King and Robert Kennedy are offensive. Birchers did not like democracy, they believed Eisenhower and Nixon were communist plants. They radicalized the Republican Party. Today's Megas roots are in the Bircher movement. Does this make Brenan evil? It doesn't endear him to how I believe.
It rather sickened me that Walter Brennan was Roman Catholic. Most Roman Catholics were and are accepting of black people and their needs past and present. Going back historically, even back over one-hundred years, a number of priests and nuns took beatings and were even murder by standing up against the KKK. As well, Walter Brennan's involvement with the John Birch Society speaks strongly against Roman Catholicism.

Hollywood hates him ,he must a good guy
He was not wrong about communism. Read the book "Color, Communism and Common Sense" by Manning Johnson. Read also "Witness" by Whittaker Chambers.
I heard about Walter about 20 years ago. He's entitled to his opinion and believes as everybody else. Great actor great singer.
Walter a man ahead of his time !

Well said!
I loved the characters Walter played. He is one of my favorite actors
Great actor who stood for what he believed in and no one could change his mind
That's code for your being a MAGAT & a racist.
Sounds like if he were alive today he would say see,I told you so
Remember him for his role as stumpy in Rio bravo, what he said and felt then is what is happening now in America. RIP 🙏
If Hollywood didn't like him , he is probably a good enough person.
Sounds like an old guy born at the turn of the century that had his opinions.
He was right and history has proven him 100% correct.
As s child I love this man.. I am 70 now and have the same feelings for him
A great actor.
Same here
Same, I am 64 and loved the McCoys!❤
That is the son of RFK pic you showed when talking about his death in 1968 , RFKJr. is still living.
I don't think he was evil the times called for morels
I always liked Walter Brennan. Very good actor. I liked his singing also. RIP 😢 😔 🙏 🕊 ☮ 😌
Not an evil man but definitely a smart man.
Walter Brenan was a great actor, I don't care about his private life; that was never a part of the deal, and as long as someone isn't committing a crime, their beliefs and ideology are theirs.

He was right about Communism fueling the Civil Rights movement
Loved Walter and always will!
He was an amazing man and actor! By the way most people have a bit of grumpy as they age as it is sometimes painful to move around.
Tom Hanks has him beat for that title. 😂
A man before his time now look what this nation has become pray people pray
I believe in " forgiveness " perhaps we all need a lot of that.
Looks like old Walter was able to see right up into 2024. His ideas about communism and socialism were not that inacurate . He could see what was up ahead. Good old Walter.👍
John Wayne admitted he was a white supremacist in a Playboy interview in 1971.
Walter was an actor, which means he lived his life playing people that were not real. People say they love him but they love the characters he played, not him, they don't know him.
Walter Brennan was one of the first people to endorse Ronald Reagan for Governor of California. He is OK in my book
I always enjoyed watching Walter as a kid and adult. I particularly remember his grandparents role in the Waltons and would never miss an episode
Hate to burst a bubble but the Waltons grandpa was Will Geer. Unless you're remembering Walter Brennan appearing as a guest, and I can't.
He was in the Waltons?
Huh, he was the Grandpa on The McCoys.
He played a train conductor in an early episode of the 3 stooges.
Dancing at Marton Luther King's death, shocks me.
an Oscar is special. just say he was the first to win 3 Oscars (and stayed alone in that category for decades ,like Willie Mays, was alone in the '600 HR club' for decades. ) 3 Oscars .nobody cares if it's a 'supporting' role in hindsight. an Oscar is an Oscar is an Oscar .while we're at it, Barry Bonds, if not for PED's, BB would still be loitering in the 600 club. it's truly amazing how much better a ballplayer Mays was than Bonds and so many others,while we're at it.
Sounds like Walter was based.
Everybody is biased.
Based is the word. He based his actions on charity and assisted a great many charities. If you meant biased, don't worry, there is not a human being in the history of mankind who has not been biased in some way. That is no crime. Next thing we'll have Big Brother watching out thoughts!
Based on what, jackass?
I loved the very talented Walter B. Who cares @bout Hollywood? I sure don’t.
He was right for protesting the removal of school prayer and Im with him 100% on the fact that the Beetles suck😂. Look at the state of the world today. No one is afraid of God so mass shooting after mass shooting. Also my father was a pastor and I still remember him sitting me down and explaining why our family voted democrat.

Great actor,who, made many poor decisions in his personal life. RIP Walter, I pray you’ve found peace in the after life!
He was a big part of my childhood. ❤
I had no knowledge of Brennan's evil side until a few years ago.
……Richard CRENNA was very handsome as a young man………
"The Sand Pebbles"
not evil
But how old was he when he first seen Old Rivers?
A man before his time. Today, his antisocial leanings would be more controversial.
He had Balls. We should have listened to him.
He was correct in many of his views, as history shows. So he wasn't politically correct he was just CORRECT!
Don’t disagree with him
Interesting video.
I thinkWalter was a great person and actor, I see no evil he’s done. I think the communists and socialists of America, put him in a different way, just saying!
He also starred w/Cooper in 1938 The Cowboy and the lady w/Merle Oberon…great cast!
Ole Walter was one of the best, I loved all his characters that he played and some great westerns, God bless
I agree with Walter 😂
The big man sounds John Birch Society
Walter was right
A great actor
Great Great Man!
I absolutely adore everything that he is in
So sad. It is in loving others that you love yourself
He was real good in Mr Deeds
I don't think he was but I never met or knew him.
I hear that 2024 and guess what things that he was saying about communists trying to overthrow this country of ours I didn't come from the outside stores with like he fought it came from within and now look at the mess that the United States of America is in Ulster Brandon with a lot of things but he was an honest man giving an honest opinion about controversial things nothing but love respect and admiration for that man thank you
Great Man
The things I did not know yesterday great story

I enjoyed every movie He was in. God bless his soul.
Heard he was more than a bit racist or is it true may not be
But again we only have what others have said
He is really Donald Trump
Report her to the police, she canset in jail with her son.
What about The one, only Family Band?
WATCHING THE REAL McCOYS ON RERUNS ME AND FATHER LIKE RIO BRAVO ON TV WATCHING TOGETHER
This video makes me like him more. 😂
Day 8 of saying hire me 🎉
No worse than Hillary C
Not so evil.
A legend!!!!!
I hate to imagine what his stance on gays was.
That was and is a real cncern. Held by many.
Trump 2024
lcan't. l'm going in the bible,too
Great American
He was also a gay man.
Hi

Wow ,he's a savage, in all the wrong ways,HISTARICAL but still horrible because he's heartless but priceless as I don't care about u cancer attitude 😆
Great actor, horrible human being.

He would fit right in to today's Trump s political party.
