Actress From 'Orange Is The New Black' Urges Biden to Target Trump in Wake of SCOTUS Ruling

 July 7, 2024
In a striking declaration following a Supreme Court decision on presidential immunity, actress Lea DeLaria has urged President Joe Biden to take a dramatic course of action with regard to his main political rival.

The recent Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity has sparked a controversial response from actress DeLaria, who suggested that deadly measures could -- and should -- be taken against Trump, as Fox News reports.

The Supreme Court Clarifies Presidential Immunity

On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court delivered a landmark decision in the case of Trump v. United States, which clarified the legal protections afforded to former presidents.

The ruling, led by Chief Justice John Roberts, distinguished between "official acts" -- which are substantially immune from prosecution — and "unofficial acts," which are not.

"The President is not above the law. But Congress may not criminalize the President’s conduct in carrying out the responsibilities of the Executive Branch under the Constitution," stated Chief Justice Roberts.

Lea DeLaria's Explosive Reaction on Social Media

Following the ruling, Lea DeLaria, known for her role in Orange is the New Black, posted a provocative video on Instagram.

In her statement, she compared the current political climate to the era of Hitler, urging President Biden to take drastic action against Trump to prevent him from regaining power.

"Joe, you now have the right to take that b---h Trump out. Take him out, Joe. If he was Hitler, and this was 1940, you’d take him out. Well, he is Hitler. And this is 1940. Take him the f--- out! Blow him up. Blow him up or they’ll blow us up. Facts," DeLaria exclaimed in the video.

Historical Aggression in Political Statements

This is not the first time DeLaria has made headlines for her aggressive political statements. Following the 2016 election, she suggested using violence against Republicans, which sparked significant controversy.

"Or pick up a baseball bat and take out every f--king Republican and independent I see. #f--ktrump #f--ktheGOP #f--kstraightwhiteamerica #f--kyourprivilege," DeLaria stated in a post-2016 election comment.

Reactions to DeLaria's Call for Action

The actress's latest comments have stirred a mix of criticism and support. Some viewers expressed shock at the severity of her statements, while others echoed her frustrations with the political system.

DeLaria also mentioned her resilience against those who oppose her views, citing her Sicilian heritage as a strength in facing opposition. "And if any of you a------- wanna death threat me like you have been doing for my entire life, bring it on b---h. I’m Sicilian, I know how to play that game," she said.

Public and Media Response

Media outlets and public figures have debated the implications of DeLaria's statements, considering the legal and ethical boundaries of free speech versus incitement.

Fox News Digital reached out to DeLaria’s management for comment, but there has been no response at the time of writing.

Justice Clarence Thomas, who was specifically targeted in DeLaria's remarks, has not publicly responded to the reference to him as "Clarence ‘Uncle’ Thomas."

Conclusion

The Supreme Court's decision on presidential immunity has clearly delineated the legal boundaries for former presidents, sparking a broad spectrum of reactions.

Lea DeLaria's extreme comments have highlighted ongoing tensions in American political discourse, reflecting deep divisions within the country.

Whether advocating for violence or expressing outrage, these incidents prompt a broader discussion on the nature of political engagement in contemporary America.
