Johnny Depp And ‘Fantastic Beasts’ Costars Call For Trump Impeachment During Comic-Con Panel

It wasn’t that long ago that Johnny Depp had to apologize for grotesquely fantasizing about assassinating president Trump…

He’s toned it down, I suppose…

But his hatred for the President, and inability to keep his mouth shut about it, remains FULLY intact.

In fact, he and his co-stars all felt the need to spew about it during a Comic-Con panel.

Because of course they did.

According to this:

Johnny Depp, star of the upcoming Harry Potter film, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, and his panel of co-stars turned political, Saturday, calling to “impeach Trump” during the film’s discussion panel at this year’s Comic-Con.

Fans were thrilled when Depp emerged from behind the curtains in full Gellert Grindelwald costume, a shock of spiky blond hair and all, to introduce the trailer for the film, according to Entertainment Weekly.

What does Trump have to do with a Harry Potter movie?

WHY make absolutely EVERYTHING political?!

Many go to things like Comic-Con to momentarily ESCAPE reality… not to keep getting people’s political views shoved down their throats.

But some fans in the audience at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con were soured when the panel launched into an anti-Trump tirade.

During the question-and-answer period, the cast on stage was asked what they would do if they had magic in real life. Beasts co-star Zoe Kravitz (who plays Leta Lestrange) quickly piped up and said she would “impeach Trump.” The remark met with some cheers, but not everyone was happy with the diversion into politics.

FANTASTIC BEASTS cast says they’d use real-life magic to impeach Trump. Joke about impeachment spells. Guy behind me is PISSED. “They had to ruin it.”

Side note… someone responded with this. I thought it was a joke, but I think the guy is actually serious.

Harry Potter fans that are also Trump supporters make no sense to me. How can you be both?

HOW are those two mutually exclusive? Am I missing something? DEAR LORD.

I mean…the AUTHOR of the books is a flaming lib… but I can’t think of any reason a Trump supporter would HAVE to hate the actual books or movies. In fact, I know many Trump supporters who are HUGE fans of the Harry Potter franchise.

But that’s just the thing. Libs cannot FATHOM that Trump supporters are real people who they could have ANYTHING in common with.

…including being a fan of Harry Potter.

The Trump derangement syndrome did not end there. Dan Fogler (who portrays Jacob Kowalski) jumped in to joke that his magic word would be “Impeachius Maximus!”

Actor Ezra Miller (Credence Barebone), then jumped in to pander to the #MeToo movement by adding that he would “Smash the patriarchy.”

HOLY MOTHER OF VIRTUE SIGNALING.

So freaking lame.

For his part, Johnny Depp, who did not appear on the panel, but came out later to introduce the trailer, gave a speech from the stage that included a line that is clearly a thinly disguised comment on modern politics. “We who live for freedom or truth, the moment has come to rise up and take our rightful place in the world,” Depp said in character as Gellert Grindelwald.

Indeed, Beasts star Eddie Redmayne (Newt) has said that the evil Grindelwald is somehow a stand-in for Donald Trump.

Well… of course! Because he’s EEEEEVIL and so is Trump.

“I’m enlisted by Dumbledore to try and track him down and capture him,” Redmayne says of his character. “What’s happened is Grindelwald’s belief that purebloods should reign over all non-magical beings is a political thing. He’s rallying more and more people, and it causes divisions across families. He’s pretty hypnotic.”

Cuuuuute.

So attention Trump supporters! If you were thinking of ever attending Comic-Con…

Know you’re very much not welcome.
