Tom Hanks ATTACKS Charlie Kirk Supporters After Assassination & It BACKFIRES In The Best Way!
Disgraceful Politicization: Tom Hanks’ Attacks on Charlie Kirk and His Supporters
The aftermath of conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s assassination on September 10th has been marked by a truly disgraceful display from countless celebrities. Instead of showing respect, many have chosen to politicize or mock the situation, revealing what appears to be their true colors.
We’ve seen this kind of behavior from figures across the entertainment spectrum—actors, singers, comedians—including names like Katy Perry, Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, and Pink. But one Hollywood heavyweight, Tom Hanks, has particularly drawn ire for using Kirk’s death to launch yet another political attack.
Hanks’ Unstoppable Rants
Hanks, a globally recognized figure in the film industry, has allegedly used the tragic situation to push a distinctly anti-Trump agenda. His actions have raised questions about his respect for a man who had just been murdered. The podcast transcript highlights a quote attributed to Hanks where he says, “Look, all I will say is rest in peace to Charlie, but supporting him is not the right answer for this country.” He goes on to directly link Kirk’s supporters to those who back President Donald Trump, seemingly blaming them for the country’s political issues and division.
Hanks’ commentary, as stated in the transcript, goes further:
“It’s unfortunate that Charlie’s supporters are the same ones that support President Trump, who is putting out all of these reckless executive orders and mishandling the border by enforcing violence on people that don’t deserve it.”
He even claims that the industry he once knew “is no longer a thing because of President Trump,” ultimately using the tragedy to urge people to “vote Democrat and win Democrat next year.”
The Celebrity Fallout: Fans Checking Out
This isn’t the first time Hanks has shown his strong political leanings. Earlier this year, his parody version of a Trump supporter during the 50th-anniversary celebration of Saturday Night Live (SNL) allegedly backfired, losing him millions of fans. The transcript suggests the fallout was severe enough that NBC banned Hanks from future SNL episodes for the remainder of 2025 and into 2026, finding even his political involvement “too much” to handle.
The problem, as articulated in the discussion, extends beyond Hanks. Celebrities like Robert De Niro, George Clooney, and Stephen King—whom the speaker calls “worse than Mark Hamill at this point”—are also being accused of using Kirk’s death to advance their own political narratives.
However, the tide appears to be turning. People are done being lectured by celebrities. The failure of Robert De Niro’s film, The Alto Knights, is cited as a “fine example” of this public fatigue. The speaker questions the box office success of Hanks’ upcoming film, Toy Story 5, given his recent political antics.
The core issue remains: these celebrities, dubbed “actorists” for acting as activists, are losing their fan base in droves. Their desire to be political spokespeople rather than entertainers is not only viewed as “disgusting” but is contributing to Hollywood’s ongoing struggles. People are checking out of their work when actors “get way too political” and exploit a tragic event like Charlie Kirk’s assassination to push an election agenda.
