🎤 What Ruffalo said:
At the Golden Globe Awards, actor Mark Ruffalo wore a “BE GOOD” pin in memory of Renee Nicole Good, the Minneapolis woman killed by an ICE agent — and used the moment to sharply criticize U.S. politics. He publicly accused Vice President JD Vance of misrepresenting the situation and directly targeted former President Donald Trump, describing him using extremely strong language and condemning current policies, including U.S. actions in Venezuela and immigration enforcement.
📢 White House reaction:
The White House pushed back strongly against Ruffalo’s comments. White House Communications Director Steven Cheung took to social media to disparage Ruffalo’s statements, calling him “one of the worst actors in the business” and saying his political remarks were filled with “outright lies.” This response was aimed at dismissing Ruffalo’s critique rather than engaging with the substance of his claims about Trump, Vance, or the administration’s policies.
🧠 Context:
Ruffalo’s statements are part of a broader celebrity-led protest at the awards show highlighting concerns about ICE actions and broader political issues, which has generated significant public debate online and in the press.
