John Cusack Shares Chilling Warning About 'Nazis Running For Office' In America

Cusack called out extremists after learning that a Philadelphia Holocaust memorial was hit with antisemitic graffiti over the weekend.

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 Philadelphias Horwitz-Wasserman Holocaust Memorial Plaza had been vandalized with a large swastika over the weekend.

Thats 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 didnt name anyone in particular in his tweet. However, hes on record as not being an avid fan of former President Donald Trumpwhom he called a mentally ill, virus-spreading, child-abducting Nazi rapist in 2020.

He also mocked Trumps legal drama when the politicians mug shot in Fulton County, Georgia, was made public last year.

Petulant and pouting, Cusack wrote of Trumps expression in the photo. He knows hes garbage and knows he cant outsmart anyone. Just fear and rage.

At the same time, the Grosse Pointe Blank actor hasnt 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.
