Tim Robbins
Actor and director Tim Robbins, known for films like The Shawshank Redemption and Mystic River, condemned comparisons between the assassination attempt on Trump and his satirical film, Bob Roberts.
In a message on X, Robbins wrote: “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.”
His message continued: “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.”
