Did Anthony Mackie Endorse Donald Trump? Not So Fast...
Marvel star Anthony Mackie seemingly endorsed Donald Trump for president in a BET interview on Monday (October 19), and received some backlash for what he said.
“I mean, first that’ll be the best party ever when he won, and second, Trump‘s an easy sell,” Anthony said. “When you look at Trump, he’s an easy sell because you can sell him as the guy who worked his way up from nothing.”
“I’m on the bandwagon,” Anthony added. “I’m drinking the Kool-Aid.”
Later, Anthony tweeted that it was actually just a joke.
Sorry Donald, that wasn’t an endorsement. Just a bad attempt at a joke, I guess?
