Come sappiamo, nella notte l’America ha assistito ad una delle pagine più buie della sua storia. Moltissimi sostenitori di Donald Trump hanno attaccato la sede del Congresso a Washington DC, occupando l’edificio mentre i parlamentari erano riuniti per ratificare la vittoria di Joe Biden alle elezioni presidenziali del 2020.
In seguito a quello che da molti è stato definito un vero e proprio colpo di stato, le attività di Camera e Senato erano state interrotte, mentre l’ormai ex presidente degli Stati Uniti pubblicava sui suoi canali social messaggio ambigui che sono stati prontamente censurati sia da Facebook che da Twitter.
Una situazione che ha lasciato il mondo intero a bocca aperta e che è stata duramente condannata da moltissime star di Hollywood.
Da Chris Evans a Mark Ruffalo, i tweet diffusi nelle ultime ore hanno anche sottolineato che si tratta di un’azione ingiustificabile. Il Captain America dell’Universo Cinematografico Marvel, si è anche chiesto cosa sarebbe accaduto se i rivoltosi non fossero stati bianchi. Non solo lui in verità, molte altre star hanno confrontato questa protesta con quella relativa al movimento Black Lives Matter, sottolineando quanto sia stata diversa la reazione delle forze dell’ordine.
In molti hanno anche invocato il 25esimo emendamento per rimuovere subito Donald Trump dalla sua carica istituzionale.
Ecco alcuni Tweet.
I’m speechless

Just think of the carnage had they not been white.

This is a coup attempt on behalf of Trump and his complicit allies. This is All on Trump and his administration. The cowards in the GOP must be held accountable. #CoupAttempt
— Mark Ruffalo (@MarkRuffalo) January 6, 2021
Imagine if this was our side. There would be rivers of our blood in the streets and not a single one of us would be armed. This has been allowed. #CoupAttempt
— Mark Ruffalo (@MarkRuffalo) January 6, 2021
25th Amendment! That’s the Tweet. #CoupAttempt

This is either a dereliction of duty by the Capital Police or a complicit desire to not plan for the known threat of chaos today. Either way, this is inexcusable. If you can be prepared for imaginary ANTIFA protestors, you had no business not prepping for these actual terrorists.

These guys are engaging in hand-to-hand combat with police after storming the US Capitol. In other news, George Floyd, Trayvon Martin, Rayshard Brooks, Aura Rosser, Stephon Clark, Botham Jean, Alton Sterling and Eric Garner are all dead. pic.twitter.com/URn8w3Y88m

Watching lawlessness in our capitol — thugs supporting a coup — & deeply saddened. The Murdochs have inflicted so much racism, sexism, virulent lies & damage to our nation. Fellow content makers, we must cancel appearances on Fox & use our power to keep ads 4 our shows off Fox.

The way they would have dropped a whole bomb on the capitol if this was us.

Impeach and Remove him. NOW.
— George Takei (@GeorgeTakei) January 6, 2021
We need to speedily impeach him for inciting violence against the nation. He must be stained for life and can never run again. Then remove him from the WH immediately. He’s a traitor.

It’s time for the 25th AMENDMENT, SECTION 4. ??

Particolarmente duro il commento di Henry Winkler, star della serie Happy Days, che è intervenuto su Twitter con un messaggio, successivamente rimosso che recitava:
Donald Trump è esattamente come Mussolini. Il suo mandato dovrebbe finire nello stesso modo.
Solidarity with Mr. Winkler, famously one of the kindest, gentlest people in The Biz, driven to this level of anger seeing Trump send his neo-Nazi disciples to storm the Capitol.
Henry was made to take down this tweet. But he’s 100% justified feeling this way! I do too. pic.twitter.com/53j76OC2Fy
