Actor Mark Ruffalo, known for his role as the Hulk in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, has drawn sharp criticism against President Donald Trump’s administration by comparing it to living under the Taliban. The statement comes after the indefinite suspension of Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night talk show, which Trump has previously criticized as ‘fake news.’ Ruffalo’s comments have sparked a heated debate on social media and in political circles, with many viewing the comparison as an overreach.
Ruffalo’s remarks were made during a segment on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, where he expressed his frustration with the political climate and the media’s role in shaping public opinion. He argued that the current administration’s policies and rhetoric have created an environment of fear and censorship, similar to the Taliban’s rule in Afghanistan. While some have praised his courage to speak out, others have condemned the comparison as inflammatory and politically motivated.
The suspension of Kimmel’s show by the ABC network has added fuel to the fire, with critics suggesting that the decision reflects a broader trend of media suppression under the Trump administration. As the political landscape continues to evolve, Ruffalo’s comments highlight the increasing polarization and the role of celebrity voices in political discourse.
