For those who draw a parallel between my film Bob Roberts and the attempted murder of TrumpLet’s be clear. What happened yesterday was an actual attempt on the life of a presidential candidate. Those who deny that the assassination attempt was real are truly deranged. A human being was shot yesterday. Another one killed. They may not be human beings you agree with politically, but shame on you, people. Get over your blind hatred for these people. These are fellow Americans. This collective hatred is killing our souls and consuming all that is left of our humanity.
