Despite apologizing for suggesting he would assassinate President Trump, leaders in the MAGA movement are calling for the washed up actor to be fired from the Harry Potter spin-off movie.
As TGP previously reported, actor Johnny Depp called for the assassination of President Donald Trump at a Q & A at the Glastonbury Festival in England on Thursday, reported the Guardian. The audience cheered the mention of Trump’s assassination, according to a concurrent report by the Telegraph:
“When was the last time an actor assassinated a president?” he asked in reference to the death of Abraham Lincoln by John Wilkes Booth in 1865.
“I want to qualify, I am not an actor. I lie for a living. However, it has been a while and maybe it is time,” he added.
Independent journalist Jack Posobiec kicked things off with a Periscope calling for the #FireDepp hashtag to go viral.

After Posobiec called on his 150,000 Twitter followers to tweet out the #FireDepp hashtag, the tweets began to flow.

#JohnnyDepp's comments should infuriate every American. He advocated the murder of our POTUS on foreign soil. #FireDepp

Johnny Depp's assassination threats should be taken seriously, considering he's beaten and abused his wife before #FireDepp

Awful Pirates of the Caribbean movies was reason enough, but threatening the President definitely equals = #FireDepp

@Disney should consider long term about who they employ. #FireDepp
The silent majority, not so silent.
