“Christians today have become the most vitriolic tribe,” said Ritchson, who himself identifies as a follower of Jesus. “It is so antithetical to what Jesus was calling us to be and to do.”

      I mean, the Rock Rock did just recently come out with his whole “yeah but both sides” cowardice. Apparently too many right-wingers buy his stupid energy drink and tequila for him to feel comfortable defending democracy in even the laziest, most minimal ways.

          In 2020 he publicly endorsed Biden.

          This year, he did an interview with Fox News and said that he wouldn’t endorse anyone this year because his 2020 endorsement caused “division” that “tore him up in the guts”.

          Because speaking out about a terrorist, traitorous, fascist, narcissistic, violent, fraudulent, rapist, criminal mob-boss who is running for POTUS is less important than being accepted by dangerous cultists.

          Yeah, sorry. Hate to be the bearer of bad news. I’m mad too, because I’ve enjoyed a lot of his work.

        I’m absolutely convinced I read something about him regarding a controversy with China and Fast & Furious but I can’t find anything about it now. Am I just imagining it?

          I know that a lot of celebrities like LeBron James have kowtowed to China while they openly commit crimes against humanity, so I wouldn’t be at all surprised. That film series is a big worldwide franchise of the type that stands to make a lot of money off Chinese release. But in that case, the studio may have tied his hands contractually on the matter. This situation is 100% him.
