‘If They Were Blacks, They Would Have Been Shot Dead’ – Kevin Hart Says of US Capitol Invasion

BEVERLY HILLS, January 07, (THEWILL) – American comedian and actor, Kevin Hart, has expressed his disgust at the overrunning of the US Capitol by pro-Trump supporters, Wednesday.

A violent protest which led to the death of four people had erupted at the US Capitol after President Donald Trump addressed his followers, vowing “never to concede”.

Reacting, Kevin Hart took to his social media to display a picture of protesters climbing walls of the US Capitol. He described the incident as sad and disrespectful to all people of colour, adding that were the protesters blacks, the incident would have been handled differently.

Kevin, who Forbes magazine listed as the highest-earning comedian in 2019, said: “Two completely different America that we are living in. If these people were black, they would have all been shot dead.

“This shit is past the word ‘sad’ at this point, it is pure disrespect to all people of color. Why can’t we see this situation handled the same way that we have seen our people handled repeatedly. When the armed officers are supposed to use force, they don’t. This is f*ckingSAD!!”

World leaders have condemned the scenes in Washington. The action forced the suspension of a joint session of Congress to certify Joe Biden’s electoral victory which reconvened this morning. The leaders called for peace and an orderly transition of power, describing what happened as horrifying and an attack on democracy.
