Followers are flocking to Jack Quaid’s protection following his father, Dennis Quaid’s, controversial assist of Donald Trump at a current rally in California.
In case you missed all of the loud screaming, Dennis Quaid appeared for a speech in the course of the Republican candidate’s rally in Coachella on October 13, with the actor telling the group that they “want to choose a aspect” forward of the upcoming presidential election.
“Are we going to be a nation of regulation and order,” Quaid stated whereas donning a Make America Nice Once more hat, “or large open borders?”. Quaid’s look on the occasion got here as a shock for longtime followers (it has personally perpetually ruined The Mother or father Entice for me), and naturally led to questions round whether or not his son, The Boys star Jack Quaid, shared related political opinions.
Fortunately, web sleuths rapidly deduced that Jack Quaid shouldn’t be a MAGA supporter, thanks partly to his involvement in The Boys. One netizen found that Jack was listed as a member of the Geeks & Nerds for Harris/Walz initiative, and appeared on a pro-Harris panel alongside his The Boys costars Erin Moriarty (who performs Annie) and Chase Crawford (who performs The Deep), and Valorie Curry (who performs the Marjorie Taylor Greene-inspired Firecracker), amongst different castmates.
The Boys followers promptly breathed a sigh of aid that Jack hadn’t adopted in his father’s footsteps, with one social media person even imagining an alternate between the pair within the wake of Dennis’ pro-Trump speech. “Sure dad, I agree we do want to choose a aspect… besides you picked the fallacious one,” they wrote, alongside a screenshot of Jack’s attendance on the Harris fundraiser.
Customers discovered aid within the caption of Jack’s endorsement of Harris, which noticed him reward the presidential hopeful and say she “crushed it final evening.” Followers additionally found that Jack had gone on a comment-liking spree over on TikTok, supporting those that have been criticizing his father. Yikes.
Jack is in good firm as a part of the Geeks & Nerds for Harris/Walz initiative, which has additionally enlisted the likes of Star Wars’ Mark Hamill, The Goonies’ Sean Astin and Star Trek’s George Takei.
Jack’s endorsement of Harris is maybe to be anticipated, since The Boys is a satire of Trumpism and the exact same sentiments echoed throughout Dennis’ speech (it should’ve gone over Dennis’ head). The actor just lately portrayed fellow Republican president Ronald Reagan within the Sean McNamara biopic, Reagan, however possibly his look at a Trump rally is proof that he has gone just a little too methodology.
Dennis even went so far as evaluating Reagan to Trump throughout his rally speech, saying that each former presidents “got here alongside and stated, ‘no, we’re not a nation in decline.’” The ultimate nail within the coffin that made The Mother or father Entice nicely and really lose its wholesomeness arrived when Dennis declared that Trump is his “favourite president of the twenty first century.”
Dennis joins the likes of Child Rock, Amber Rose, Hulk Hogan and Elon Musk in endorsing Trump, whereas Jack is certainly one of a number of superstar endorsers of Harris, from Olivia Rodrigo to Bette Midler and Mark Ruffalo. I’ll most likely by no means be invited anyway, however I feel I do know which of these names I’d be part of at a cocktail party and which I’d ask “sorry, who’re you once more?”.
