Hollywood's woke brigade just handed President Trump another potential victory on a silver platter. Actor Mark Ruffalo - better known for playing the Hulk than understanding basic legal facts - has apparently opened himself up to what could be a career-ending defamation lawsuit by spreading outrageous lies about our 47th President.
The Marvel star brazenly called Trump a "convicted rapist" and "pedophile" in what appears to be yet another unhinged social media meltdown from the entertainment elite. There's just one massive problem with Ruffalo's attack: it's completely false.
President Trump has never been convicted of rape. Period. He's never been convicted of any crimes involving children. These aren't matters of opinion or political spin - they're verifiable legal facts that even Trump-hating prosecutors couldn't manufacture.
Hollywood's Hate Machine Backfires Again
This is exactly the kind of reckless defamation that has real consequences in the real world. While Ruffalo sits in his Hollywood mansion spouting lies to his millions of followers, he's potentially committed actionable defamation against the President of the United States.
The irony is delicious. These are the same Hollywood hypocrites who spent years screaming about "misinformation" and demanding censorship of conservatives on social media. Yet here's Ruffalo spreading actual, provable lies about the leader of the free world.
"By lying about President Trump being a 'convicted rapist' and 'pedophile,' actor Mark Ruffalo has opened himself up to what all decent people hope will be a crippling and costly defamation suit," notes media critic John Nolte.
Patriots across America are watching to see if Trump's legal team will make an example out of this latest attack from the entertainment industrial complex. After years of weaponized lawfare against conservatives, it's time these Hollywood elites faced some real accountability for their lies.
Will Mark Ruffalo learn that actions have consequences, or will he hide behind his celebrity status? Either way, this could be the wake-up call Hollywood desperately needs about the difference between free speech and defamation.
