Mark Ruffalo made a passionate speech at a Hands Off Our Vote event in New York City on Sunday night, slamming U.S. President Donald Trump and saying he’s going to “Hulk out” if he attempts to restrict voting in the upcoming midterm elections. The midterms are set to take place on Nov. 3 and could have a large impact on U.S. politics, giving Democrats the chance to take back control of Congress and curb Trump’s agenda.
The Hands Off Our Vote rally on Sunday was meant to mobilize voters and also featured speeches from Robert De Niro and Mo Amer. Taking the podium at the event, Ruffalo began: “This is a big, big deal, this election. There’s a lot hanging in the balance.
And we all know that we’re going to kick their asses — but we all know that they’re going to steal it. They’re going to do everything in their power, and it isn’t going to be over the night we all win.” The “Avengers” and “Spotlight” actor then pointed out the issue of cybersecurity in voting, calling out Elon Musk in the process. And while I’m not an expert, I’ve been talking to experts.
And the one thing I’ve heard repeatedly is that there is a vulnerability of the votes when they’re transferred from the polling places to the county headquarters and then to the states.” In order to counter this, Ruffalo encouraged voters to join the organization Free Speech for People in challenging insecure voting systems to make sure election results are as accurate as possible and “safe from any domestic or foreign interference,” as he put it. Ruffalo then turned his attention to Trump, saying: “We gotta get this dumbass, fool ass, tired ass, lame ass, duck ass out of office. We got to make him a lame duck!
We have to stop his policies now. Another two years of this, and who knows what he’ll be doing? He’s calling to throw Democrats out of the country.
The guy means everything he says. I know we’re all tired, we are so tired, but we can’t give up now … They’re going to try and stop us from taking our country back, and we’re not going to let ’em. Trump, we’re not letting you!
