Tim Robbins Condemns Those Comparing Trump Assassination Attempt To ‘Bob Roberts’: “Deranged Mindset”

Deadline ^ | July 14, 2024 | Ted Johnson

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.”

Thank you, Mr Robbins. That puts you on my tolerable list because you obviously aren’t a total moonbat.

I insulted the poor guy on a previous post thinking that he was pushing the assassination attempt. My bad for not fully reading his comments. Gasp, I have to work to avoid losing so many IQ points that I become a DemocRAT.

I always thought Tim Robbins was a big lefty, but the tone of his message makes me believe that he is capable of holding differing political ideals without joining the legions of haters out there.

Thank you Mr. Robbins for being a concerned American.

20+ years ago Tim Robbins was considered a nutcase even by people on the left. This just shows you have far they have fallen that Tim Robbins is now a voice of sanity for them.

[Alas Babylon!]

You could say it’s a kind of... {Shawshank} redemption?

It's work all right.

If his wife (Susan) comes out with a similar statement I’ll be shocked. I expect her to say it’s his rhetoric and he (Trump) brought this.

[No name given]

Well said.

Thank you, Mr. Robbins.

He was never married to Susan Sarandon. They dated/spawned and broke up along time ago, though they do share adult children.

[spacejunkie2001]

pretty sure they were divorced long ago

[mikey_hates_everything]

A man died. Who would ever stage something like that with real bullets?

[Wilderness Conservative]

Agree. If Sarandon joins him I’ll have even more movies I can watch. Our side is forgiving if you’re not demonic.

Well nutcase enough to be one of the prominent members of F.A.G. in "Team America"



"Let me explain to you how this works: you see, the corporations finance Team America, and then Team America goes out... and the corporations sit there in their... in their corporation buildings, and... and, and see, they're all corporation-y... and they make money."

Of course you would use real bullets if it was staged. I’m not sure you could find anyone good enough or willing to nick his ear though.

[mikey_hates_everything]

And of course Trump would be willing to play along with a bullet whizzing by his head and just nicking his ear…

From what I've seen, Robbins was one of those lefty nutbags who was jolted out of his trance by the COVID scam. How far towards true enlightenment he'll go, I couldn't say.
