Megan Fox rips into the 'burn a witch at the stake mentality' over the outrage after she called Trump a 'legend'
Hollywood actress Megan Fox lashed out sarcastically at the "uneducated" critics trying to cancel her over comments she made about former President Donald Trump.
Fox made the comments Monday on the "Jimmy Kimmel Live" show where she recalled how Trump was received by UFC fans at the UFC 264 showdown in Las Vegas.
"I was in a row with [Justin] Bieber and Trump was also in my row," the 35-year-old "Transformers" star said on the show.
"He was a legend. That arena was very supportive of Trump when he came in," she added. "I've never seen anything like that before. It was crazy."
Critics excoriated her on social media for daring to say anything that could be taken as positive for Trump.
Some supporters of the former president also circulated the video as evidence that Fox was a Trump fan:

On Thursday, the actress made it clear that she was only describing how Trump was applauded in the arena at the time.
"Uhmmm … I do not align myself with any political party or individual politicians," she said in an all caps post on her Instagram account.
"I never said Donald Trump is a legend. I said he was a legend... in that arena (key part of the sentence)," she explained.
"The arena was filled with UFC fight fans, many of them clearly Republican based off the insane crowd reaction he received walking into the T-Mobile venue. That was an observable fact. Not my opinion," Fox added.
"Really loving this uneducated, mid-evil [sic], pitch fork carrying, burn a witch at the stake mentality though, the world needs more of that," she concluded sarcastically.
Fox stirred some controversy from a previous guest spot on the Kimmel show when she described how she had been sexualized as a 15-year-old actress. Kimmel was criticized for laughing at the story and smirking a joke about it.

Social media melts down after Mel Gibson salutes Trump during weekend UFC match
Mel Gibson, award-winning actor and filmmaker, caught the ire of the internet over the last several days after he dared salute former President Donald Trump during a Saturday UFC match.
What are the details?
Gibson and Trump both attended the UFC 264 fight between Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Saturday, when Trump entered the arena to raucous cheers and applause.
Gibson, 65, was standing near the former president's path through the crowd and was seen in a TikTok video saluting him.
Author John Pavlovitz hit out at Gibson on Twitter, writing, "Mel Gibson is who we thought he was."

Another user complained, "The crazy thing is, you didn't even need to know why Mel Gibson was trending to know that he probably did something s****y. Rest in hell to his dead career."
"Of course Mel Gibson gave Trump a salute at the UFC game, they both have shared fondness for Nazis and white supremacists," yet another user thundered. "If you're more upset that I accidentally referred to the UFC match as a game than the fact that Mel Gibson is a racist, homophobic anti semite who counts being verbally abusive towards women as one of his favorite past times then may I suggest you rethink your priorities."
Yet another chimed in, "Yes, not a surprise. Both guys know how to salute but know nothing of the military."
"Can't say I was surprised. Also I can't believe I used to be a huge fan of his. I can't watch any of his movies anymore," another complained.
Another raged, "Mel Gibson saluting Trump shouldn't suprise anyone. Nazis salute other Nazis."
What else?
In 2020, Gibson told Fox News that he simply isn't qualified to speak out about politics.
"Who the hell cares what I think?" he said at the time. "I'm not an expert — what am I qualified to talk about?"
It is not known at the time of this reporting whether the "Braveheart" actor — who has never spoken out in support of the former president — is a current Trump supporter.

‘No one is above the law’ except for the president and his son
If you’ve been lucky enough to witness the left gloating over Donald Trump’s conviction, then you’ve probably heard the phrase “no one is above the law.”
But it seems that might be far from the truth.
“The only people we know that are above the law are the president and his son. They’re above the law, but nobody else,” Pat Gray says.
While both the president and his son Hunter Biden have seemed to skirt the law on multiple occasions — Hunter is on trial this week.
Hunter is currently charged with one count of making false statements in a firearm purchase, another count of making a false statement related to information required to be kept by a licensed firearm dealer, and one count of possession of a firearm by a person who is an unlawful user or addicted to a controlled substance.
If the president’s son is found guilty, he could be facing a maximum sentence of 25 years in prison.
“We’ll see what happens there,” Gray says, skeptical he’ll end up convicted.
“And then he’s got the other one, the IRS one is in September,” Keith Malinak comments.
While “no one is above the law” will continue to be parroted anyways, Malinak and Gray can’t help but notice that the justice system wasn’t exactly geared up to actually deliver justice in Trump’s case.
They believe it was rigged to begin with.
“I mean you’ve got people from the Department of Justice working with Alvin Bragg, you’ve got all the stuff about the judge’s daughter and the judge himself,” Malinak says. “This is third-world banana republic stuff here.”
