Dopey Depp Wisecracks About Assassinating Trump

Depp opened the door to trouble by speculating that the president “needs help.” He worried that “there are a lot of dark places he could go.”

That’s when he really stepped in it with a clear reference to John Wilkes Booth’s assassination of Abraham Lincoln.

I’m not insinuating anything – by the way, this will be in the press and it will be horrible – but when was the last time an actor assassinated a president?”

Showing he was trying to be too clever by half, then Depp amended his remarks and stepped in the cowpie even deeper.

I want to clarify, I am not an actor. I lie for a living. However, it has been a while, and maybe it is time.”

What made the quips made on Thursday so controversial is they came on the heels of the assassination attempt on Republican congressmen in Alexandria, Virginia.

Progressives have developed a truly perverted sense of humor, thinking comments about killing and violence against conservatives is the height of humor.

Depp is no stranger to recent controversies, having been accused of domestic violence by now ex-wife Amber Heard. He’s denied the allegations, but his appearance at the Glastonbury Festival was heavily criticized. Festival organizer Emily Eavis acknowledged she’s taken a lot of flak for arranging his appearance.

If you start booking people on their ethical policy and morals, there’s a lot of people you wouldn’t book, to be honest. Part of our policy is that everyone has the freedom to book who is right for their area.”

This isn’t the first time Depp has taken verbal shots at Donald Trump. Appearing at a May 2016 red carpet event, the quirky actor didn’t generate the same controversy he has now.

If Donald Trump is elected president of the United States of America, in a kind of historical way it’s exciting because we will see the actual last president of the United States.”

At that point in the presidential primary process, many pundits still didn’t think Donald Trump would ultimately win the GOP nomination, let alone the presidency. So Depp got away with that cheap shot.
