‘Star Wars’ star Mark Hamill says he’s ashamed…
“Star Wars” actor Mark Hamill said Monday he was “really ashamed” that Americans elected President Donald Trump to a second time period, including the new administration is “on us.”
“It’s one thing for him to have sneaked by the first time — when he got re-elected, that’s on us,” Hamill said on the “WTF with Marc Maron” podcast. “That’s [what] I’m really ashamed of — because I always thought there are more decent Americans, honest Americans than there are others.”
Hamill said he was confirmed unsuitable in believing there have been more first rate and sincere Americans than there have been “others” after Trump’s second win, including he now feels “in the minority” in his own nation.
As famous by The Wrap, this was not the first time Hamill expressed frustration over Trump’s second election victory and what it mirrored about the nation.
On Nov. 6, 2024, as Trump’s victory turned obvious, Hamill posted on X, “They say we get the leaders we deserve. Either that has just been disproven, or this is not the America we all thought we were living in.”
More just lately, the “Star Wars” actor revealed to The Times of London last month that he thought-about leaving the U.S. following Trump’s re-election.
During the interview, Hamill was candid about the struggles he endured after Trump gained the election. He was an outspoken supporter of then-President Joe Biden and later backed former Vice President Kamala Harris during her 2024 bid when Biden was compelled to drop his re-election marketing campaign.
