Washed up film maker attacks House Speaker with some blunt truths

Fading progressive filmmaker Michael Moore surprisingly aimed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi this week suggesting that old white privileged people don't like giving up power.
The filmmaker response was to Anand Giridharadas's tweet:
Nancy Pelosi doesn’t think it’s important to impeach an authoritarian president who threatens American liberty, but she does think it’s important to minimize @AOC and other women of color who won extraordinary victories to Congress as “like five people.”

Moore responded:
White people. Nobody likes giving up power. And they never see the writing on the wall. The new day arrives, and no one has the heart to tell them they and their old tired privileged ways are over.
The filmmaker's response is telling if you put it into a context that his fame and notoriety has been dwindling for many years now.
Moore's films are flopping, he's being sued by the company associated with his film festival, and even those within his movement are abandoning his deceptively-edited conspiracy theories.
Moore's days are over.
But despite this, Moore is right about Pelosi.
White people. Nobody likes giving up power. And they never see the writing on the wall. The new day arrives and no one has the heart to tell them they and their old tired privileged ways are over. https://t.co/jAGjzEjLgp

What is bizarre though, is why would someone who owns nine properties in multiple states, mansions and an upper West Side Manhattan apartment be calling out people for being "white" and "privileged."
Perhaps seeing Donald Trump's continues victories may have something to do with it.
Last year, Moore confessed that he cries "every day" over the Presidency of Donald Trump and his policies during an interview.
The filmmaker called on the Democrats to be less “wimpy” and get "angrier" in order to oppose Trump, who he has referred to as “the devil."
The liberal filmmaker then admitted that reading the news about Trump implementing his agenda has caused him to "cry every day."
“When you read the paper every day, you watch the news, do you ever cry? Do you ever tear up? Does this ever happen to you?” Moore asked Colbert.
When Colbert responded that he did, Moore then admitted, “It happens to me now every day.”
