On Monday, Actor Ron Perlman made an incredible statement on Twitter.
Perlman, who played Vincent on TV’s Beauty & the Beast and starred in Sons of Anarchy and the (absolutely terrible) film Pacific Rim, claimed that, among the worst human rights violators on earth, is…
Wait for it…
America!!!!
Perlman was responding to news that the U.S. would be pulling out of the United Nations Human Rights Council (citing the group’s chronic bias against Israel), which Obama joined in 2009.
Call it a knee-jerk reaction. Or maybe, take out “knee”:
We are already among the worst abusers of Human Rights on this earth. And we are inches away from being investigated by the Hague for our newly formed Fascist ways. All ths in the 510 days of his twisted regime. https://t.co/rqcvLaHqyE

He also jumped the gun and caved to that perplexing leftist paranoia of being surrounded by Nazis:
I know I’m a leftist, “D List” actor, so my twitter feed is probably deceiving me, but is that an iron cross tattooed on this hero’s arm? This is a mistake, right? Cuz the Iron Cross was a symbol of Nazi Germany.
Gotta be my twitter feed is leaning left again. https://t.co/qsA6ynOfzB

I say “perplexing,” because Nazi stands for “National Socialist.”
To his credit, he corrected his mistake:
My apologies! I mistook the symbol on this man’s arm before I actually knew the facts. So again, I apologize to the man in this picture for my mistake.
Maybe it was the gusto, the relish this agency seems to project in their obsession to racially profile decent people. https://t.co/7heFecxSY4

You know the credit I just gave him? Well, I’m cashing that in now, and he still owes, because of this:
A lot of muthafuckas out there are on me for using a picture that is not representative of the current border situation. As if there is no border ugliness. For those so desperate to be right about a picture that they ignore the savagery that is real…
.FUCK YOU FOR ALL TIME!!! https://t.co/bmTLQr3br5— Ron Perlman (@perlmutations) June 18, 2018
The photo he used was from a staged protest:
Seemingly, to Perlman, real vs. fake is an argument of semantics.
Perhaps his most lucid tweet was this gem of a defense:
Maybe it’s you! Maybe you’re fake. https://t.co/z1lLUgn34I

Good one!
In the meantime, the very real uproar across the country over this photo was also wrong:
“Wrong,” as in, it was not recently taken. It was, in fact, a picture of children in a very real situation…in 2014. When that piece of information came to light, suddenly no one was upset about it anymore. But perhaps Perlman should use it as evidence: America — in this case, under Obama — violates human rights.
I’m waiting for that tweet, with very bated breath.
