Mark Ruffalo accuses JD Vance of wrongdoing after labeling Trump as a "pedophile."
Actor Mark Ruffalo made a political statement at the Golden Globes by wearing a "BE GOOD" pin and criticizing US President Trump and Vice President JD Vance. The pin was linked to honoring individuals allegedly killed by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers.
Ruffalo expanded his comments to criticize the administration's policies, accusing Trump of disregarding international law and labeling him a convicted felon and rapist. These remarks sparked online debates among supporters and critics.
Trump was convicted in 2024 on multiple felony counts in New York and found liable for sexual abuse and defamation in a civil case. However, he has not been criminally charged with sex crimes involving children or convicted of rape in court.
The "BE GOOD" campaign at the Golden Globes aimed to honor Renée Macklin Good and Keith Porter, with support from organizations like the American Civil Liberties Union and advocacy groups. Ruffalo highlighted the deaths of Good and Porter in his statements.
Ruffalo emphasized the pin as a symbol of solidarity with those feeling fear in the US. Other celebrities, such as Wanda Sykes, also wore the badge and expressed criticism of the government. Ruffalo's remarks align with his history of political activism and support for progressive causes.
