‘Avengers’ star Mark Ruffalo furious with Supreme Court: ‘They’re up for sale’

Mark Ruffalo Takes Aim at Supreme Court, Calls for Action

Actor Mark Ruffalo, known for his role in “The Avengers,” didn’t hold back in his criticism of the Supreme Court. In a series of tweets, Ruffalo labeled the Court as a “right-wing ideological political institution” and demanded that the legislative and executive branches take action to control it.

Ruffalo’s comments came in response to a HuffPost article that accused the current Court of rolling back progress made in the 20th century. The article highlighted several recent decisions that the author viewed as regressive, including the overturning of Roe v. Wade, the elimination of affirmative action in college admissions, the cancellation of Biden’s student loan forgiveness program, and the controversial 303 Creative decision.

“Okay. So we all understand that the Supreme Court has become a right-wing ideological political institution under Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch, Barrett, Kavanaugh, & Roberts,” Ruffalo declared. “They’re for sale & illegitimate. Now, we have to beat them in the executive branch & the legislature.”

Organize the vote. They’re taking us backward. We have already left them behind. Now we keep building people’s power. We have the people. We are far more mighty. Hold on tight & keep organizing. Drown out the noise. Keep pushing forward. The only way to freedom is forward.

“Organize the vote. They’re taking us backward. We have already left them behind. Now we keep building people’s power. We have the people. We are far more mighty. Hold on tight & keep organizing. Drown out the noise. Keep pushing forward. The only way to freedom is forward,” he continued.

However, not everyone agreed with Ruffalo’s perspective. Critics quickly pointed out that he had no issue with a left-leaning Court when it delivered decisions he agreed with.

“It used to be a left-wing ideological political institution, but you were fine with that,” one person said.

“Sounds awful sedition-y there, kiddo, to say a co-equal branch of government is illegitimate,” another tweeted. “It would be a lot easier for you to just say you are throwing a tantrum because you don’t like the Constitution.”

“Guy who gets paid tens of millions to be a CGI voice over would like to school the peasants on the glorious future that socialism will create for us. He keeps his money of course. That’s just assumed,” added a third.

A couple of Ruffalo’s fellow actors also chimed in on the discussion.

“Not all actors are like this, I promise,” Matthew Marsden assured his followers.
