I'm curious to see the original clip. We only see about six seconds of Milano saying:

For those of us who are not black men, imagine watching the news and seeing how people...

Given the response and accusation, I can only assume Milano went on a rant about rape statistics and how all blacks should be returned to Africa. Quite a turnaround from her previous positions.

If she did say that then that's game over....

Strange ... the only information on the OP's "news" is an obscure video making the rounds of the tabloids. However, any reasonable person doing their own websearch will eventually discover that Ms. Milano's politics are Socialist, not Republican.

"Netflix is doubling down on its romance game. And author Nora Roberts isn't interested in what internet critics have to say.

On Tuesday, the streamer announced plans to adapt Roberts' romantic suspense novel Brazen Virtue as a feature film starring Alyssa Milano as the heroine, Grace, a famous mystery novelist and crime expert who finds herself drawn into a real-life case when her sister is killed, exposing her sibling's double life as a webcam performer.

But not all of Roberts' fans were happy with the news, with many taking to the author's Facebook page to protest Milano's casting because of the actress' openly liberal views on social media..."

Pepe, as the originator - would you like to post something to balance the video making the accusation?
That video of her speaking is cut ridiculously short and leaves nothing but the accusation.

Yes, she "has been slammed as a "white supremacist" in a video that has gone viral online" - but why?
Show us.

It's not like this animosity is anything new - a Forbes article from August 2020:
https://www.forbes.com/sites/sethcohen/ ... -syndrome/

I wonder how much this has to do with it all:

Forbes article wrote:

Milano has been in the crosshairs of right-wing critics on a regular basis, drawing criticism for her outspoken activism and frequent Twitter posts in support of Democratic candidates.

(a rhetorical question :wink:

)

I should amend my "Never let YouTube do your thinking for you" meme to...

"Never let those who let YouTube do their thinking for them do your thinking for you."

... yes ... that makes much more sense now!

I've never heard of Alyssa Milano. Turns out she was the Little Mermaid?

What exactly did she say?

This seems like more BS from the minds of maniacs.

Whatever she actually said seems to have been edited by people hostile to her Socialist political views.

Celebrities Often Lack Position to Discuss Politics from a Genuine Vantage .

They Live Outside the Confines of the Average Person's Life Experience .

Hard to Grasp what Alyssa was Saying from 3.2 second clip of Dialogue .

Consider the source and ask yourself if it seems credible. :nerdy:

Which one: Pepe or YouTube? Maybe BOTH?

She played the daughter on Who's the Boss, and was also on Charmed.

News Corp. They report a lie, use all of their other outlets to spread the lie and conceal it's origin and then finally if the lie doesn't gain traction they start reporting on 'why won't the other news outlets cover this big story' which really seems to appeal to people with one set of news sources and deep-seated distrust of credible reporting.

Or you could digest the content and make up your own mind.

Some posts were removed because they were tending to focus rather too pointedly on Pepe, not the content.
