Like many in Hollywood, Ruffalo has made his political views an important part of his public persona. Ruffalo was a visible supporter of Independent Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders’ 2016 Democratic presidential campaign, and said the socialist senator “awoke something in me.”
Since the 2016 election, Ruffalo (like many other celebrities) has been an unrelenting critic of President Donald Trump’s administration, and has made it clear that he has no plans to tone down his criticism anytime soon.
