The single most sacred rule in MAGA world is to never go against “The King” so when Reacher star Alan Ritchson spit some hot facts about Cheeto Jesus, Trump’s cult 45 came right for him on social media.
Earlier this month the man who’s been campaigning to be cast as the next Batman in James Gunn’s rebooted DCU made his feelings known about the current Republican nominee for President of The United States in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter calling him a “rapist and a con man” and wondered aloud how people of the Christian faith follow such an obvious charlatan saying “Christians today have become the most vitriolic tribe. It is so antithetical to what Jesus was calling us to be and to do,” he explains. It also upsets him that some Christians have so closely aligned with former President Donald Trump. “Trump is a rapist and a con man, and yet the entire Christian church seems to be treat him like he’s their poster child and it’s unreal. I don’t understand it.”
He’s not wrong. The man who faithfully follows his Christian beliefs is asking what we’ve all been asking these past few years: How do y’all follow a man who’s the literal embodiment of the seven deadly sins?? Didn’t the Bible say something about the antichrist pretending to be a man of God and fooling everyone into following him and committing an insurrection, etc.?
While many in MAGA nation didn’t take notice of the swipe that Ritchson took at both Donald Trump and his “Christian” followers, Trump sycophant, Sebastian Gorka addressed the issue during an interview on his radio show, America First and put a big orange target on his back. According to the Huffpost, listeners spread the word about Ritchson’s criticism and took to social media to air him out and call on their fellow Trumpians to join in on the campaign of hate against the Hollywood star but at the same time others have come to show support for his views and he might’ve made a few new fans along the way.
Per Huffpost:
During his five-minute-plus rant, Gorka told Ritchson to “shut your pie hole” when it comes to “political views” and “keep doing your play acting.”
Many conservatives seemed incensed by Ritchson’s remarks and vowed to boycott “Reacher,” which follows a brawny vagabond ex-Army police officer with a taste for vigilantism.
While the backlash from the MAGA sect was loud, there were also plenty of people who applauded the star
Ha! He plays a character that has a body count of about 200 dead. Guy’s a meathead.
Won’t watch Reacher anymore and won’t watch his movie where he has a Monty Pythonesque Belgian accent.
Classical case of roid rage.
I’m seriously worried that the powers that be simply will not allow such a thing to happen, regardless of the election outcome.
I’m equally as worried that, should he be sworn in, none of his cabinet secretaries, department heads, or judges will ever be confirmed. They’re already preparing for it.
He made a big issue about defending all the vulgar language on his show. They insert F-bomb into sentences when they make absolutely no sense. He was trying to rectify the filthy language with his Christian beliefs sort of failed with me and the wife.
The short 1 minute videos on YouTube used to be fun but more and more they contain F-bombs for absolutely no reason.
More proof that Jerry Lee Lewis, Fatty Arbuckle, and a lot of other bad behavers were just born too soon.
the 2nd season of reacher was perhaps THE worst series ever produced: horrible acting, horrible dialog, ridiculous story lines and plot twists, and totally unrealistic everything ... i’m still reeling from when they drowned a bad guy in a pool of liquid concrete that had apparently been sitting there for hours without setting up ... the badness of the 2nd season of reacher is equaled only by the latest season of Fargo, and all but the first season of Goliath ... the “original” content of the major streamers like amazon and netflix is low-budget, woke, unwatchable dreck written, directed and produced by ignorant children ...
And he drags his family around in AirBnBs, no home life at all.
I don’t understand it.”
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
That’s because he doesn’t understand Christian repentance and forgiveness.
Who did President Trump allegedly rape or con ?
Cruise, short or not does a much more believable job. I tried to like the show but all I could see was a big guy that can't act with a bunch of insulting language aimed at offending Christians.
Good vs Evil and the good wins.
Same with the John Wick movies. In the first one he kill 50 people in the first 15 minuets.
They should take advice from another dumb entertainer and just "Shut up and Sing"
He is a terrible actor and apparently an idiot too.
The mistake Ritchson is making is that he’s not asking what the alternative is. The so-called better politicians are stealing from the country blind.
