US stars including John Legend, Kerry Washington and Mark Ruffalo have shared their feelings following the highly-anticipated television debate between Donald Trump and his presidential rival Joe Biden.
Mortified Stars React To Donald Trump And Joe Biden’s Chaotic TV Debate
Many took to Twitter to condemn the US president for failing to denounce white supremacy during the debate.
The two politicians faced off in Cleveland, Ohio, for the first debate, which came just over a month before the US presidential election.
During an acrimonious and chaotic showdown, Mr Trump and Mr Biden exchanged verbal blows while the moderator, Chris Wallace, struggled to take control.At one point, Mr Trump was asked to disavow white supremacists and the Proud Boys, a far-right organisation, but instead told them to “stand back and stand by”.
His unwillingness to issue a blanket condemnation of white supremacy brought sharp and immediate criticism online from many well-known American celebrities.
In a stinging response, Frozen star Josh Gad, who is of Jewish descent, said: “The Nazis killed my family members. Tonight Trump told them to ‘stand by.’ I have never imagined saying these words in my life. ‘Mr. President, F*** YOU.’”
Actress Kerry Washington, best known for her work on political drama Scandal, tweeted: “Once again. He refuses to condemn White supremacy. PAY ATTENTION FOLKS. Please vote.”Once again. He refuses to condemn White supremacy. PAY ATTENTION FOLKS. Please vote.— kerry washington (@kerrywashington) September 30, 2020Comedian and Actress Robin Thede also accused Mr Trump of failing to condemn white supremacy, adding: “He encouraged it. The end. There are no two sides to this.”
Singer Christina Perri tweeted: “We just watched the president of the United States UNABLE and UNWILLING to condemn white supremacy. you all just saw and heard that.”we just watched the president of the united states UNABLE and UNWILLING to condemn white supremacy. you all just saw and heard that. ✌🏼 #Debates2020— christina perri (@christinaperri) September 30, 2020The Boys star Jack Quaid said: “He literally couldn’t denounce white supremacy.”
Zach Braff, best known for his work on TV comedy Scrubs, tweeted: “Only honest thing I digested: Nazis standby!”Only honest thing I digested:Nazis standby!— Zach Braff (@zachbraff) September 30, 2020And Actor Patrick J Adams, the Duchess of Sussex’s former Suits co-star, said: “He just refused to condemn white supremacy. That just happened right?”
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the verdict from Hollywood was in favour of Mr Biden.
Many stars – including Mark Ruffalo, John Legend and Pete Davidson – were critical of the president.
“We can’t put ourselves through another 4 years of this walking dumpster fire,” Legend, a frequent critic of Mr Trump, said. View this post on InstagramMy reaction to the debate.

Mary Trump 'energized' as uncle 'Donald's campaign spirals into chaos'
Mar 29, 2024
Donald Trump's campaign is in chaos, and his niece says she's energized.Mary Trump, the niece of the former president and a psychologist by trade, has previously been critical of her uncle.On Thursday, she said her uncle's failures are adding up.ALSO READ: A neuroscientist reveals how Trump and Biden's cognitive impairments are different"As the RNC’s fundraising falters and Donald’s campaign spirals into chaos, I am energized!" she said in a Substack post.She then continued:"When Donald dominates the news cycle, it’s hard not to feel overwhelmed. Every bad headline has a negative impact. But then I remember something crucial: There’s usually more to the story than meets the eye. I’m determined to cut through the media noise and share with you all the good that happened this week. These are the headlines we need to remain energized and hopeful that the media largely ignored."Mary Trump goes on to highlight President Joe Biden's recent fundraising hauls."President Biden’s $155 million+ war chest has just received another turbo boost, bringing the total of cash on hand to at least $180 million. (By comparison, between his campaign and the RNC, Donald barely has over $50 million — and continues to drain the accounts to cover his absolutely staggering legal expenses)," she wrote. "This is a development that could significantly increase Biden’s ability to influence the narrative in crucial swing states."This, she says, also tells us a lot about voter excitement for Biden."While critics have expressed doubts about the degree to which the Democratic base is fired up as compared to 2020, today’s $25 million fundraiser, raised with donations ranging from $250 to $500,000, should put any doubts to rest — yes, we are absolutely behind President Biden and Vice President Harris and we’re in this fight until the end," she wrote.Read the full post here.
