Liberals on X, formerly known as Twitter, have expressed their anger and disdain after a photo of actor Woody Harrelson wearing a hat displaying support for Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. surfaced online.
The photo, which originated from "Curb Your Enthusiasm" actress Cheryl Hines Instagram account, shows Hines standing alongside Harrelson, who is wearing a blue "Kennedy 2024" cap. Hines captioned the photo, saying, "Great seeing you, Woody. #friends #hats #rfkjr."
Once the image made its way to X, liberal users flooded the comments section with negative remarks. "Shark Tank" senior producer Andrew Kimmel shared the image, expressing his disappointment by stating, "We lost Woody." Leftist influencer "Liberal Lisa in Oklahoma" declared, "Its official. After his s----- SNL opening monologue about Covid, now this. Woody Harrelson is dead to me." Prominent leftist X user Angela Belcamino added, "Woody Harrelson just canceled himself."
Democrat social media strategist Devin Duke criticized the actor, stating, "It's a shame Woody Harrelson has revealed himself to be an anti-science quack." Former Bill Clinton staffer Claude Taylor commented, "So disappointing. Good reminder actors are not role models." Popular progressive account "Wu Tang is for the Children" posted, "If you didnt realize Woody was gone after his SNL monologue, well now its official."
Many users referenced Harrelsons "Saturday Night Live" monologue from February, where he criticized the COVID-19 vaccine and government pandemic protocols. Harrelson masked his critique by presenting it as a movie pitch he had heard in 2019.
He said on air, "So the movie goes like this: The biggest drug cartels in the world get together and buy up all the media and all the politicians and force all the people in the world to stay locked in their homes. And people can only come out if they take the cartels drugs and keep taking them over and over."
The actor, known for his advocacy of marijuana use, concluded the bit with a self-tailored punch line, saying, "I threw the script away. I mean, who was going to believe that crazy idea? Being forced to do drugs? I do that voluntarily all day."
Harrelson's public endorsement of Kennedy aligns with his previous statements critical of the U.S.'s reaction to the pandemic and COVID vaccine.
