While explaining the pin\u2019s significance on the red carpet, Ruffalo launched strong criticisms against political figures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He accused Vice President JD Vance of lying about current events. Ruffalo then turned his focus to former President Donald Trump, claiming the U.S. is in an illegal war with Venezuela and that Trump disregards international law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The actor escalated his remarks, calling Trump a convicted felon and a convicted rapist. He further labeled Trump a pedophile and \u201cthe worst human being,\u201d arguing that relying on his morality would endanger the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For context, Trump was convicted on 34 felony counts related to business records in 2024. That same year, a civil jury found him liable for sexually abusing writer E. Jean Carroll, though he has never been charged with a sex crime or pedophilia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The White House responded swiftly to Ruffalo\u2019s comments.
