“They decided not to show Neil Armstrong planting the American flag on the moon, which is of course a fact of his life,” guest Raymond Arroyo told Ingraham before quoting Gosling’s reasoning. “Now, I don’t understand how planting a flag on the moon in any way contradicts his being a humble hero or being reluctant to embrace that moniker as the hero.”

[divider][/divider]Chuck Yeager, a World War II fighter pilot ace who became the first known pilot to break the sound barrier, took a swipe at Hollywood on Friday over the upcoming movie “First Man.”
@GenChuckYeager Ryan Gosling is coming out with the movie First Man where it portrays Neil Armstrong as a liberal progressive anti Trump (in spirit) non-flag waiver. Probably agree with the National Anthem kneelers, too; at least in Hollywood's liberal imagination. For your Info.
