So, Zoe Saldana believes Donald Trump (of all people) was bullied by celebrities during the presidential race. Girl, BYE. Get the deets, plus find out how Trump bashed civil rights activist John Lewis to kick off MLK weekend inside…
Yes, you read the headline right. Zoe Saldana believes celebrities BULLIED Donald Trump during the presidential race. After all of the outlandish, disrespectful and racist hate he spewed during his run, the actress believes he’s the victim (at least in some people's eyes). Sighs…
While the Guardians of the Galaxy star was not a supporter of the Republican president-elect, she feels the insults thrown at him from celebrities during the race resulted in him being bullied. So we assume she’s just ignoring the fact he “bullied” a reporter with disabilities. Hmph,
The 38-year-old actress explained to the AFP, "We got cocky and became arrogant and we also became bullies. We were trying to single out a man for all these things he was doing wrong... and that created empathy in a big group of people in America that felt bad for him and that are believing in his promises."
Not sure how acknowledging the bullying one person is doing is the equivalent of bullying as well, but OK.
The mom of twin boys said the election has taught her a lot of humility and hopes for a united America. "If we have people continue to be strong and educate ourselves and stand by equal rights and treat everyone with respect, we won't go back to those times."
So where were these bullying concerns when Trump was going IN on President Barack Obama? Everybody who has horrific timing when it comes to caping can have several seats.
In other political news...
Donald Trump is kicking off Martin Luther King Jr. Weekend with insults! No surprise.
This morning, he popped off on civil rights activist/U.S. Representative John Lewis via Twitter after the congressman questioned his legitimacy as president.
He tweeted, “Congressman John Lewis should spend more time on fixing and helping his district, which is in horrible shape and falling apart (not to mention crime infested) rather than falsely complaining about the election results. All talk, talk, talk - no action or results. Sad!”
UGH! He’s so disrespectful.
Congressman Lewis (Georgia) criticized the legitimacy of Trump being our new president. The civil rights leader told NBC’s Meet The Press, “I don’t see this president-elect as a legitimate president." His comments stemmed from many points, including Trump not winning the popular vote and the election being hacked in various ways by foreign sources.
He also gave his opinion on the Russian email hack as well.
“I think the Russians participated in helping this man get elected, and they helped destroy the candidacy of Hillary Clinton,” he said.
About 17 intelligence agencies have backed up this claim, by the way.
The 76-year-old plans to boycott Trump’s inauguration, the first Inauguration he has missed since becoming a member of Congress over 30 years ago.
What a way to kick off MLK Weekend.
