Actor Ben Affleck waded into political waters on Tuesday night to deliver searing criticism of Republicans who he said 'want to dodge the consequences for their actions' through partisan gerrymandering.
The Academy Award winner spoke at a virtual event alongside Hillary Clinton, Obama-era Attorney General Eric Holder and fellow actor Tracee Ellis Ross to raise money for Clinton and Holder's progressive groups.
He praised the former First Lady and Secretary of State as an 'extraordinary person' and a 'wonderful role model.'
Clinton's Onward Together PAC raises money for left-wing candidates and causes nationwide and Holder's All On The Line promotes redistricting efforts in favor of Democrats.
But on Tuesday night it was GOP redistricting that took center stage.
'It leads to hyperpartisan politics where special interests rule and party extremists are incentivized instead of common sense and finding common ground and compromise, and a lot of this we're seeing in our country today,' Affleck said of Republican gerrymandering according to The Hill.
