BREAKING: Iconic actor Mark Ruffalo unleashes a viral takedown of ICE “stormtroopers” at the Golden Globes, says that Renee Good was “murdered in our streets,” and that Trump “has no morality.”
And he was just getting warmed up…
“Joined now by Mark Ruffalo, who is a nominee tonight, and his wife, Sunny, and I want to ask you right off the bat, how much fun is it in that room, sitting there, you have a couple cocktails, you hang out with everybody, and there’s all kinds of conversations going on,” a reporter asked the “Task” actor at the glitzy awards show.
“It’s usually a lot of fun, but I can’t really… I gotta be honest with you, I’m not feeling so great,” said Ruffalo. “But we have a woman, Renee Good, was murdered in our streets of America today and we got literally stormtroopers running around terrorizing and as much as I love all this, I can’t, I don’t know if I can pretend like this crazy stuff isn’t happening.”
Ruffalo was wearing a pin that read “Be Good” to protest ICE and show his support for Renee Good.
“We have a president who says the laws of the world don’t apply to him, and we can rely on his morality, but he has no morality,” Ruffalo continued. “So where does that leave us, where does that leave the world? So I love these people, I love being here, I love you, but I also can’t… It’s so hard to pretend anymore. This is crazy what’s happening.”
“I have to ask you, because I have family from the Twin Cities, so I understand how hard that is right now. Well, lots of people are hurting right now and that’s the problem, is that the people are hurting,” said the entertainment reporter interviewing him.
“And people can’t pay their rent, this isn’t making us any safer, they can’t pay their rent, they can’t buy food. Insurance is impossible. They can’t take care of their families and health. There’s no education,” said Ruffalo. “I mean this is not making America better. If it was, I’d be, yeah, great, let’s do it, but that’s not what’s happening. We have Americans being shot, killed, a woman in her car.”
“So I’m going to ask you this, because everybody, we’re talking about the problems, what do you think we can do, what are the solutions?” asked the reporter.
“I think most Americans want the same thing,” replied Ruffalo. “They want a little sun on their face, they want to know that their kids are going to be okay. They want to know that their kids are going to be safe. They want to be able to pay their rent. They want to be able to know they’re going to send their kids to a good education.”
“But right now, the whole Senate, the whole Congress has been taken over by corporations,” he continued. “So who’s there fighting for us now? Nobody. But if somebody did… They got us at each other’s throats, the billionaires got us at each other’s throats, right? We’re out there killing each other. You know what the solution is? It’s doing something for the working people, putting all your focus on that.”
“Here’s what I’m going to say,” said the reporter. “I respect the fact that you’re using your time and your forum to get out your message and I appreciate it.”
“Well, I mean, how can we do— I don’t know, I can’t keep pretending,” said Ruffalo. “It’s driving me crazy. I’m hurting, and I know a lot of Americans are too.”
