Right-Wing 'Reacher' Fans Flip Out After Alan Ritchson Calls Trump A 'Rapist And A Con-Man'

[Swede]

Good for Alan.

“Christians today have become the most vitriolic tribe,” said Ritchson, who himself identifies as a follower of Jesus. “It is so antithetical to what Jesus was calling us to be and to do.”

“Trump is a rapist and a con man,” he went on, “And yet the entire Christian church seems to be treat him like he’s their poster child and it’s unreal. I don’t understand it.”

Ritchson’s comments largely flew under the radar for right-wingers, until Trump Cabinet alum Sebastian Gorka addressed the interview during a segment on his radio show “America First” last week.

1. Interesting.

I've read ten or so of Lee Child's 'Reacher' books, but after attempting to watch the TV series it just didn't work for me. Number one, my 'vision' of Jack Reacher was far different than the one portrayed by Alan Ritchson.

But good for him taking on the RW Xtians. Perhaps JD or Mike or Hogsmith or some other reich-wing freak would like to challenge him to a no-holds-barred competition in the ring.

12. That's why I've never watched it. I've got one Reacher in my head and that's the one I want to keep seeing as I read.

Same with the Harry Bosch character.

13. Ritchson

Ritchson matches Lee's description of Reacher far better than Tom Cruise. I just could never get around a little squirt likc Cruise playing 6'5", muscular Jack Reacher.......

2. Sebastian Gorka is one punchable SOB.

[FadedMullet]

3. Absolutely. I would have thought that he would have insinuated himself back into Trump's cabal by now.

4. Not pretty enough for TV.

8. Truer words were never spoken.

7. I believe Gorka has overstayed his visa.

Hey ICEholes, are you listening?

[rubbersole]

5. We love 'Reacher'.

But we also love John Wick. Probably a diagnosis is necessary. Indiana Jones was our gateway drug.

6. Hah Ha.. Thanks, Stupid Gorka... I saw this

on DU awhile ago and Now I think it's good that the Pedo Protectors know it, too.

It's brilliant to have an Actin Actor who has a Brain and Can Think and See What's going ON Here!

14. "And yet the entire Christian church . . . "

Mr. Ritchson should talk to a few Episcopalians and Lutherans!
