Hollywood actor Chris Pratt, known for the Marvel films Guardians of the Galaxy and the Avengers series, has once again been embroiled in controversy over being a "pro-Trump supporter."
On the 11th, Chris Pratt posted on his personal social media, "Praying for Charlie Kirk and his wife, and their young children, and Korea. We need God's grace. Lord, help us," the post said.
Charlie Kirk is a U.S. conservative political commentator known as a close ally of U.S. President Donald Trump. On the 10th (local time), he was shot and died while giving a speech during his "American Comeback Tour" at Utah Valley University in Utah. Chris Pratt was mourning Charlie Kirk over this.
However, criticism and abusive comments criticizing Chris Pratt have also appeared. That is because Charlie Kirk has made remarks belittling victims, such as saying about past U.S. gun deaths, "It is a reasonable price to pay to preserve the Second Amendment even if some sacrifices occur each year."
On Chris Pratt's social media, criticism followed, saying, "Pray for the families of the victims in the Denver school shooting too," "What do you think happened to the children who were shot and killed at school?", and "Pray that you won't be fired from Marvel."
The controversy over Chris Pratt being a pro-Trump supporter is not the first. He was mentioned in 2020 as one of the "pro-Trump" Hollywood stars. It was said that the church he attends was known for extreme conservative views and for being hateful toward sexual minorities. Coincidentally, many Avengers cast members attended a fundraising event for then-Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, but Chris Pratt's absence was also mentioned.
However, at the time Chris Pratt did not publicly reveal his political leanings and denied the controversies surrounding his church. In addition, Robert Downey Jr., who appeared with him in the Avengers series, said, "Pratt is a true Christian who lives by his principles," Mark Ruffalo said, "Don't smear Pratt; look at the life he has lived," and Zoe Saldana said, "Pratt's family and friends know his true heart," defending him.
