Actor Cheech Marin says he hopes the Americans who voted for President Trump are experiencing buyer’s remorse.

The 70-year-old comedian of “Cheech & Chong” fame told The Hollywood Reporter Monday that Mr. Trump’s election made him question “the intelligence of the electorate.”

“There were a lot of people who voted for Trump because they wanted a job,” Mr. Marin said. “They didn’t bargain for the rest of this s—t. I hope they’re starting to realize their mistake.

“This is the last gasp of the white uneducated,” he went on. “And they’re the dinosaurs in the tar pit. I feel sorry for them, too. I understand they’re not being listened to and they have a bad economic situation. It’s like, ‘Hey dude, welcome to our world.’”

The longtime marijuana activist also commented on the future of recreational marijuana under Attorney General Jeff Sessions, The Hill reported.

“Their first statement was, ‘We’ll go after recreational,’” Mr. Marin said. “They’re up to their a— in alligators right now. They don’t want to take on 32 states, and cut their tax base. And Sessions has always been a states-rights guy. You can’t be states rights for some things and not for others. I think they just said, ‘We’re going to leave it like it is.’”
