    Here is his Globe remarks:

    "This is for Renee Nicole Good, who was murdered. We’re in the middle of a war with Venezuela that we illegally invaded. He’s telling the world that international law doesn’t matter to him. The only thing that matters to him is his own morality, but the guy is a convicted felon; a convicted rapist.

    “He’s a pedophile,” Ruffalo continued. "He’s the worst human being. If we’re relying on this guy’s morality for the most powerful country in the world, then we’re all in a lot of trouble.

    “So this is for her,” Ruffalo concluded. “This is for the people in the United States who are terrorized and scared today. I know I’m one of them. I love this country. And what I’m seeing here happening is not America.”

      convicted rapist.

      Isn’t saying this publicly the thing that got George Stephanopoulos sued? Not that he’s substantially wrong in saying this, but “right” and “wrong” aren’t exactly things that influence Trump’s decision-making.

          Ruffalo also has the money to go to court and have it out about the definitions of the words adjudicated, alleged, confirmed, convicted etc.

          I know if I was the orange child rapist I wouldn’t want to go to court to discuss those different definitions because at some point I’d have to admit that I was in fact an adjudicated rapist.
          Then again I’m not a mushy brained narcissistic dictator so…

            Plus of course it’s technically correct. Trump has not been convicted of rape, but he has been convicted of other crimes and he is a rapist. So he is indeed a convicted rapist.

          Stephanopoulos wasn’t “reporting” when he said that, though; it was during an interview with a guest on the show. I’m not sure that’s a significant difference.

        And ABC should have fought it in court, and they would have won, but they voluntarily gave up the bribe Trump was demanding.

        Later, Kimmel forced them to grow a spine and fight back, and MAGA backed down. Kimmel knows how to handle bullies.
