John Cusack thinks far-right politicians are leading America in a dark direction.
The “High Fidelity” actor worried about the state of the U.S. while reacting to news that Philadelphia’s Horwitz-Wasserman Holocaust Memorial Plaza had been vandalized with a large swastika over the weekend.
“That’s fucking terrible,” Cusack wrote Tuesday on X, the former Twitter, while sharing a story from The Jerusalem Post. “[Too] bad we have Nazis running for office on US. The ghouls feel like they can come out.”
Philadelphia police are searching for the suspected vandal, who was wearing a ski mask while caught in the act on a surveillance camera.
A post on the Facebook page for the memorial plaza asked for help in identifying the suspect, calling the incident a “disgusting act of antisemitism that comes amid a staggering spike in anti-Jewish hatred across Philadelphia and the country more broadly.”
Cusack didn’t name anyone in particular in his tweet. However, he’s on record as not being an avid fan of former President Donald Trump, whom he called a “mentally ill, virus-spreading, child-abducting Nazi rapist” in 2020.
He also mocked Trump’s legal drama when the politician’s mug shot in Fulton County, Georgia, was made public last year.
“Petulant and pouting,” Cusack wrote of Trump’s expression in the photo. “He knows he’s garbage and knows he can’t outsmart anyone. Just fear and rage.”
At the same time, the “Grosse Pointe Blank” actor hasn’t limited his political critiques to Trump and members of the Republican Party.
Last September, he accused Democrats of abandoning the middle class in a lengthy tweet, claiming that the party “played a major part in creating the precise conditions for fascism to flourish.”
Cusack was reacting to news that a group of Democratic lawmakers had filed court documents to block a proposed wealth tax on the ultra-rich.

Trump may not be a NAZI or anti-semitic , but for sure he is a racist among his many other character flaws and depends very heavily in the votes of racist, xenophobic and antisemitic crowd.
Amazing to me, that the right wing coalition that Republicans draw their votes from have people that hate the jews as well as from people that want the jews to establish the old Israel so Jesus can return.
Pretty Ironic…..
All the Anti-Semitism you read about every day comes from the democrats, the left.
You’re ignorant and sick Cusack!! Stick to acting!
Every day I’m astonished at how delusional liberals and leftists are. The fact they call Trump a fascist is comical. The Biden administration is currently putting on quite the display of what actual facsimile looks like. Using government agencies such as the IRS, the FBI, the CDC, not to mention almost all of the media to slander and destroy their opponents. For the cherry on top, the mobs of rioter and thugs on the street doing the real dirty work to intimidate and strike fear into people for daring to have a different opinion. This is textbook fascistic behavior. Trump has never done any of that. None.
Believing he is a racist based on edited, out-of-context sound bites is just so pathetic and shallow. Five minutes of research and you will debunk your own argument.
Cusack showed that he is a Far Leftist by the way he was talking in the beginning. I know this because I am an Independent who sits in the middle and looks at both parties and sees what they say and how they act. Trump may have a big mouth but he is for the American people and wants to keep jobs here in America to make America great. He is NOT for bringing in illegals to flood this country and destroy it. He is NOT for allowing terrorists in this country who will destroy this country and the people in it. Biden does not care for the American people or this country. He doesn’t care that there are a lot of terrorists that are on the threat list in this country who should not be here. He doesn’t care that some come in very sick and give it to the American people. He wants us gone so that he can run the country the way he wants to. Cusack would not like it after the Democrats got through with it. He would be wishing that someone as strong as Trump got ahold of it again but he is going to drive all the Republicans and all the decent people out of the country. There will only be the ones who are following the Democrats and the very poor people who cannot move.
