On migrants and language

Gere took aim at government rhetoric, objecting to official use of the word 'aliens' for migrants and arguing migration is a central part of human history. He said such labels unfairly strip people of their shared humanity and left him feeling ashamed of how the debate is framed.

Warnings and regret

The actor warned this moment feels darker than any he has seen, blaming public apathy and his own failure to do more to persuade voters. Gere has repeated strong criticisms of the president at other recent European appearances, painting the situation as urgent and troubling.
