Actress Lea DeLaria, known for her role in Orange is the New Black, made a controversial social media post calling on President Joe Biden to assassinate former President Donald Trump in response to the Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity.
“Joe, you’re a reasonable man,” she wrote. “You don’t want to do this. But here’s the reality: This is a fucking war. This is a war now, and we are fighting for our fucking country. And these assholes are going to take it away. They’re going to take it away.”
“Thank you, [Supreme Court Justice] Clarence ‘Uncle’ Thomas. Joe, you now have the right to take that bitch Trump out. Take him out, Joe. If he was Hitler, and this was 1940, would you take him out? Well, he is Hitler. And this is 1940. Take him the fuck out! Blow him up, or they’ll blow us up. Facts,” she added.
“It’s all out war now. They will destroy us. They only want power… like all tyrants. FUCK THEM!!! And if any of you assholes wanna death threat me like you have been doing for my entire life, bring it on bitch. I’m Sicilian, I know how to play that game,” DeLaria said.
DeLaria’s post sparked backlash from many, with comments expressing concerns about the legality and implications of such statements, labeling them as threatening and potentially harmful.
“This sounds threatening and harmful to an ex president, is that legal? Wouldn’t that be domestic terrorism?” one commenter wrote.
“Who are you and what are you famous for? Also, did you just publicly call for the president of the United States to murder his political opponent? If you want 3rd world stuff to happen, move to a third world county. Dear Jesus. Hope you have an amazing lawyer. You can delete this but the internet last forever and you just told the entire internet to MURDER someone,” another commented.
