Twitter is having an absolute meltdown right now over rumors that actor Chris Pratt is a Trump supporter. But here’s the thing, nobody actually knows whether the rumors are true.
It’s unclear how the gossip started, but the Avengers star is currently trending on Twitter and many people are very upset with him…

Things have gotten so out of control that Newsweek ran a fact check on the whole thing and determined that it’s not known whether Pratt supports Trump.
The actor has never discussed his political views openly on social media, although he did donate to Barrack Obama’s reelection campaign in 2012 as well as Tulsi Gabbard’s campaign in 2019.

This would seem to imply that, no, Chris Pratt is not a member of the MAGA cult.
Except that last summer he was photographed wearing a “Don’t Treat On Me” t-shirt. According to Dictionary.com: “In the 2000s, the phrase became associated with a variety of libertarian, conservative, gun-rights, or far-right political groups as way to express their beliefs.”

And then there’s his affiliation with the vehemently antigay Hillsong Church, which many consider to be a hate group.
Pratt has stated in the past that he doesn’t support either side of the Democrat/Republican divide. He has not yet commented on the reports that he’s a Trump supporter.

Newsweek isn’t Newsweek anymore. They were bought up by a right wing Trump supporting group. remember, Newsweek was the outlet that tried to push out the Kamala Harris Birther story and got stomped on by social media for it.
Now, they’re trying to claim that they guy who belongs to a homophobic hate group, and sent money to Trump troll number one (Tulsi) isn’t a Trump supporter?
Yeeeeaaaahhhhh, not buying it.

Sad how Newsweek turned into a right wing rag.

Well I suppose Pratt could put this thing to bed in a heartbeat by saying something about it.

I am just one voter and one fan.
Pratt being a Trump supporter would be disappointing because I can’t reconcile Pratt’s reported Christian faith and Trump, nor anything else I perceive him to be.
However, it isn’t my place to judge.
If he actively uses his celebrity to inflict harm on others such as we in the LGBTQ community, then that would be problematic [for me].
Guilt by association should. It be a thing, though it would be helpful if he provided some clarity one way or another, if for nothing else but to quiet rumors.
Finally, he shouldn’t fall prey to cancel culture and it’s cancerous rot. If claim to want to rebuild America post Trump, part of that will require that we acknowledge there are others with different visions for America and that we must govern along side them. In a country as large and as diverse as we are, how could we expect anything else?
Or does democracy and freedom and patriotism only belong to a single faction now?

It is my place to judge as a Clinical Psychologist in practice for 25 years.
Trump is a Malignant Narcissist, they are not treatable, ever. And he is Sociopathic, no empathy, sympathy, but loves only money and sex .
So, I can diagnose and tell you this man belongs on his own island, or an insane asylum.
Cam
“Cancel Culture” = people being held responsible for their words or actions.
i.e. he goes to and gives money to a homophobic group = I will not be buying tickets to any of his movies.

Isn’t her married to a Kennedy?

No. A Schwarzenegger.

“Don’t Treat On Me” t-shirt
Is this an anti-Halloween message or a response to the Parks and Rec “Treat Yo Self” phrase.
SELA Rising
old news. isn’t this why he and Anna Ferris split?
assyrianhunk
yes, she is an LGBT ally and smart and votes intelligently for Biden, while Pratt is a Born Again Christian, like most of the Trump Cult.
Texasholdem
I thought he cheated on her with Jennifer Lawrence

Twitter is so weird!! Chris Pratt is a Christian, that doesn’t mean that he is a Trump supporter. How do people connect the dots. Like honestly it’s actually really bigoted to make that connection!!
assyrianhunk
He is a trump Supporter and a born again christian. and he believes in Gay conversion therapy, with his minister Rick Warren.
KyleMichelSullivan
Of all the Chrises, he’s the one I care least about. He strikes me as a selfish tool, most of the time. Polite and mannerly, but still not someone I’d rely upon. Chris Evans, yes. Chris Pine, maybe. But this Chris? I’ll believe it when it happens.
assyrianhunk
this may be a conjecture, But when I saw him at the Orange County church
which is ultra christian, homophobic, with the republican minister, thats when I knew.
He was there, as was Justin Bieber, and Kanye West.
I recall watching the minister Rick Warren and now a new Minister, who were being interviewed about gay conversion. they were saying it is a gay person’s choice to convert to heterosexuality, because Jesus can do anything ????!!!! crazy talk again. So, it is likely Pratt is a trump supporter, and born again, as are bieber, and the hot mess Kanye soon to be divorced by Kim.
TMBisAOK
Chris Pratt ACTUALLY has said he doesn’t support either side, Democrats or Republicans, which is all the copout I need to know. It’s like saying I’m not for good or evil. Smh
Catholicslutbox
Can’t say I’m surprised.
amanwithanedge
career is over.
masterwill7
Career is over? This guy is a superstar, and the 7 bilion people outside the US (including me) don’t give about democrats or republicans???!!!
Cam
@masterwill7
But people outside the U.S. DO give a damn about homphobic hate groups, and if his sales drop in Europe and Asia, he’s done.
Troysky
@Cam …..isn’t this all old news? ….anyway, Cam I would disagree with you and say that CP’s career might suffer in the USA, but far less so outside of the USA imo and im just guessing…
Wicked Dickie
We already knew he was a Trump supporter. Where have those people been? He’s also anti-gay, or did you guys not know that either. Don’t know if he’s homophobic, but definitely anti-gay.
cuteguy
Chris Pratt’s silence is deafening. He obviously supports Donald Chump and an anti LGBT cult church
JB
“Barrack Obama”? “Don’t treat on me”? Enough with the idiotic typos already, Queerty! Find yourself a decent copy editor!
TxCudlr
Chris…who i USE to like….is a staunch HOMOPHOBE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I won’t have ANYTHING to do with him any longer; no talk show interviews, no movies, no shows,……NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!
Polaro
We have no evidence he supports Trump. We do have evidence he’s not an LGBT ally. Not happy about that.
