Johnny Depp Apologizes for Trump Assassination Comments

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


At the Glastonbury music festival in England last night, actor (although he claims otherwise) Johnny Depp said 

I’m not insinuating anything — by the way, this will be in the press and it will be horrible — When was the last time an actor assassinated a president? I want to clarify, I’m not an actor. I lie for a living. However, it’s been a while, and maybe it’s time.

Language like this is always disturbing, but especially so just a week after Republican congressmen were targeted and shot practicing for a bipartisan charity baseball game.

The White House issued a statement saying

President Trump has condemned violence in all forms and its sad that others like Johnny Depp have not followed his lead. I hope that some of Mr. Depp’s colleagues will speak out against this type of rhetoric as strongly as they would if his comments were directed to a democrat elected official.

Although Depp prefaced his statements by saying he knew they would be controversial, he is now apologizing for them.

“I apologize for the bad joke I attempted last night in poor taste about President Trump,” he said. “It did not come out as intended, and I intended no malice. I was only trying to amuse, not to harm anyone.”

An assassination joke with no intended malice? Seems fairly unlikely.

      Ahhh, a moment of clarity in an otherwise cloud of confusion. Stay on the right side of the issues there Johnny, you’ll find that it does the career a world of good… If you doubt me, just ask Kathy Griffin hows it working out for her career.
