“ The only thing that might stop this is that Donald Trump admitted his defeat in the elections “, summarized Stephen King on Twitter.
A legend of music such as Stevie Wonder requested that the Amendment 25 of the Constitution to impeach Trump. ” I am heartbroken and stunned that this narcissistic and dangerous president puts lives in danger and encourages violent sedition against our Government. This man can no longer serve as president because he cannot accept defeat. Can we afford two more weeks? I say NO! ”, He argued.
Selena Gómez pointed directly to the responsibility of social media for allowing Trump’s lies and incendiary messages to spread massively. “ Today is the result of allowing people with hatred in their hearts to use platforms that should bring people together and that should allow people to build communities “, he indicated.
” Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Google, Mark Zuckerberg, Sheryl Sandberg, Jack Dorsey, Sundar Pichai, Susan Wojcicki: You all have failed the American people today and I hope you fix things in the future “, added.
Actor Josh Gad wondered if there is “any reason” that Trump “isn’t handcuffed” right now. “ If any other American incited thousands of people to storm the Capitol, they would already be behind bars. The president of ‘law and order’ needs to face both right now ”, he affirmed.
Other celebrities bitterly compared the authorities’ violent crackdown on the Black Lives Matter anti-racist demonstrations last summer with the scant police action today to stop the occupation of the Capitol.

“Black people are stopped (by the Police) and they don’t come out of it alive. We cannot sleep in our own beds without being killed. We can’t go running without being killed. We cannot walk down the street in our hoodies without being killed. And they can do this? ”Lamented Dwayne Wade.
Chris Evans said he was “speechless.” “Just think of the slaughter that would have occurred if they weren’t white”, pointed out.

For his part, Pink was “embarrassed” by what happened in Washington as “a US citizen. And the daughter of two veterans and the sister of another ”. “Hypocrisy, dishonor, shame”, he synthesized.
“Support the peaceful transition of power! That’s being a patriot! “Said Ashton Kutcher.
In addition, the director James Mangold asked Hollywood to boycott the Fox News television network, which he accused of having promoted a spiral of “racism, sexism, virulent lies and harm” in the country. Finally, also the filmmaker James Gunn opted for sarcasm: “Thinking positively, maybe America is waking up after a long sleep and It hurts the hell to get out of bed. ”
