Mark Ruffalo Calls Trump A ‘Rapist’ And ‘Paedophile’ On Golden Globes Red Carpet: ‘It’s Hard To BS Right Now’
Mark Ruffalo has always come across like one of the soundest guys in Hollywood, and he’s also got fairly big balls because he’s just called the President of the United States a ‘rapist’, a ‘paedophile’ and ‘the worst person in the world’ while giving an interview at the Golden Globes:
On the black-and-white pin he wore on his tuxedo: “It’s for Renee Nicole Good, who was murdered (the lady shot to death in her car by an ICE agent last Wednesday). We have a vice president is lying about what’s happening.”
The actor added: “We’re in the middle of a war with Venezuela that we illegally invaded. [Trump is] telling the world that international law doesn’t matter to him. The only thing that matters to him is his own morality.”
“The guy is a convicted felon, or convicted rapist. He’s a pedophile. He’s the worst human being. If we’re relying on this guy’s morality for the most powerful country in the world, then we’re all in a lot of trouble.”
Just a quick fact check: Trump is indeed a convicted felon, but has not been convicted of rape. Rather, a jury in a civil case found he had sexually abused writer E. Jean Carroll, which Trump denies.
He’s also never been convicted of – or charged with – any crimes involving minors, although it wouldn’t be the most shocking revelation in the world if Trump was a paedophile, given his ties with Jeffrey Epstein and his desperation to keep the Epstein Files under wraps.
Still, fair play to Mark Ruffalo for expressing himself. There’s no doubt a lot of Hollywood celebrities who feel the same way and wouldn’t have the guts to say it out loud, let alone on the red carpet at the Golden Globes.
Wonder if his politics has anything to do with him being left out of the next Avengers film? He’s also been very vocal about the situation Gaza and America’s role in that.
A bigger Trump hater than Sadiq Khan though? Doubt it.
