Alan Ritchson blasts Donald Trump over the Epstein files and nuclear codes
Speaking on Josh Horowitz’s Happy Sad Confused podcast, Alan Ritchson was asked about actors being afraid to speak their minds. Ritchson replied, “People, I think, are a little bit afraid of me because they’re like, ‘He’s a loose cannon.’ And I’m not. I’m just saying the s— that everybody should say if they give a s— about humanity.”
He then encouraged others to speak out more openly. Ritchson said, “Everybody else, speak up. You are all feeling the same thing, you idiots. Get loud and stop cowtowing to the wrong people. Stop bowing down to people that have power. You got power, too. The power in numbers.”
The actor said he often holds himself back. He recalled a recent appearance on Dax Shepard’s podcast. The actor then turned to the Jeffrey Epstein files. “The Epstein files. The f—ing Epstein files. God damn it. Where are they? It’s a f—ing law. Show it. You f—ing pedophiles.”
He then apologized for his language, saying, “I shouldn’t say f— because I’m a Christian… Because that is something that should make you want to say f—.” He continued, “I would railroad these f—ers. I would get those Epstein files out in two seconds. Move out of the way. Give me the f—ing vanilla envelope. I will get you the Epstein files.”
He questioned why the files were still hidden from the public. “Don’t you want to see what’s in there so that we can hold people accountable? These f—ing rapists. We’re just cool with it?” Ritchson then referenced Donald Trump, adding, “That b—- has the keys to the nuclear… Like, dude, what? Go to jail. Go to jail.”
The Epstein files remain at the center of public debate. Ritchson’s remarks have now added another celebrity voice to that ongoing discussion.
