Actor-director Tim Robbins is calling out the conspiracy theories following the assassination attempt on Donald Trump, including that it was a staged event akin to a plot point in his 1992 movie Bob Roberts.
Robbins wrote on X/Twitter, “To anyone drawing a parallel between my film Bob Roberts and the attempted assassination of Trump, let’s be clear. What happened yesterday was a real attempt on a presidential candidate’s life. Those that are denying the assassination attempt was real are truly in a deranged mindset. A human being was shot yesterday. Another killed. They may not be human beings that you agree with politically but for shame folks. Get over your blind hatred of these people. They are fellow Americans. This collective hatred is killing our souls and consuming whatever is left of our humanity.”

Hilarious movie. Hottest sex scene ever! LOL
“Back to headquarters for cocktails”.
It may seem sirry. But not rearry.
Pretty good for Tim Robbins. He’s still a hard lefty, but so far as I know, he’s been quiet about politics for quite a while.
I’ve only watched it, oh about a hundred times over the years.
A lot of actors found their careers damaged by their attacks on politicians like Bush. Producers won’t hire actors who are unpopular and/or antagonize large swaths of the potential audience. Robbins was one. It might sound good in the Hollywood Echo Chamber to viciously attack the President. It doesn’t work out so well for ticket sales. A actor who antagonizes 1/2 of the electorate might find himself out of work. Musicians too. That that dumb broad from the Dixie chicks.
