Chris Pratt isn’t joining his fellow Avengers in a fundraiser for Joe Biden, and Twitter piled on
Deseret News ^ | 10/19/2020 | Jennifer Graham

Fans of the blockbuster movie series “The Avengers” can virtually hang out with six of the stars Tuesday if they contribute to Joe Biden’s presidential campaign.

But it’s an actor who’s not attending who’s getting most of the attention on Twitter — and much of it is hate.

Chris Pratt, known for his roles in “Guardians of the Galaxy” as well as “Parks and Rec,” was blasted on the social media platform by people who said his conspicuous absence was evidence of his secret support of President Donald Trump.

From there, the conversation devolved into criticism of Pratt’s Christian faith and the church he attends, which was a source of controversy last year.

The attention began innocently enough on Saturday when screenwriter Amy Berg posted pictures of four actors named Chris — Pratt, Chris Pine, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth — along with the line “One has to go.” (“One has to go” is a common Twitter meme, in which people vote out the least popular of four options.)

When people began to select Pratt, they mentioned his membership in a conservative church and speculated that he supports President Donald Trump. “Chris Pratt because he’s MAGA. He’s the worst Chris,” one Twitter user wrote. Soon, people began mentioning his absence in the fundraiser as proof.

Another Avenger who is not participating in the Biden event, however — Robert Downey Jr. — has not been called out for his absence.

Pratt’s wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger, is supporting Biden, according to multiple news outlets. (If the name sounds familiar, that’s because she’s the daughter of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver.)

That didn’t absolve Pratt, though. Twitter users appeared to be on the hunt for evidence of Trump support, seemingly combing through the accounts he follows on Twitter in search of a smoking gun.

Chris Pratt also did a great job in Passenger. I loved that show when it was on. But yes, this is the reason why you see these celebrities sending vindictive anti-trump posts on twitter feeds. The fascist democrats will blacklist them if they dont. Chris Pratt is being attacked in that manner. Right now he’s going to be called by someone saying he’ll never work in hollywood again.

Chris Pratt's ex-wife (Anna Faris) is FAR MORE attractive than his new wife.

To sell your soul for politics is serious business.

Paying attention, Christians?

They say the same about us, but they always avoid, or evade, the abortion question, while claiming the moral high ground. At least 2 of my nieces avoid the question, and are quite vilely vocal about it. Can’t be helped. My soul is already in Christ’s possession, or so I believe, and while I am hardly the best Christian, I can’t deny my beliefs when challenged.

The Hollywood commies had blacklists of the anticommunist witnesses; e.g., Morrie Ryskind and Adolph Menjou.

Anna Faris' voice is like treacle speaking - meaning cute.

She is cute, with makeup

without makeup....

Democrats should just change their slogan to “Vote for us and we won’t kill you”

I thought he came out with unkind remarks towards President Trump not too long ago. It wasn’t enough for the Black and Brown shirts to rip into him. He would be better off getting out of that Hollywood cesspool.

No wonder that there are shy Trump voters. It’s a disgrace that this story was even written.

Faris is hideous. His new wife is a fox.

this might help...

YIKES!

You need some eyeball adjustment...or perhaps a brain realignment.

To believe Schwarzenegger’s daughter is attractive is, well....just lunacy.

Arnold, is that you?

Good grief....
