'Handmaid's Tale' Star Calls Out Jeff Bezos For Staying Silent On Trump
HuffPost
Star Bradley Whitford didn’t hold back in his interview with Variety: “F**king speak up!”
Bradley Whitford says he wants Jeff Bezos to “fucking speak up” to President Donald Trump.
In a new interview with Variety, the “Handmaid’s Tale” star, 65, accused the Amazon founder, 61, of pandering to Trump amid the president’s vow to fight “anti-white racism” and his efforts to abolish diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.
“I don’t want to be a punk attacking, but I would really like to ask Jeff Bezos ― who, when I worked on [Amazon Prime’s] ‘Transparent,’ was talking about the importance of supporting this vulnerable community who has been turned into a political football — ‘What the hell is happening here?!’” Whitford said.
He added: “Fucking speak up!”
Whitford went on to allude to the similarities between Hulu’s “The Handmaid’s Tale,” which is set in a dystopian future, to today’s American society where Trump has publicly relished in helping the Supreme Court overturn Roe v. Wade in 2022.
