More than 130 actresses and MeToo activists have signed a statement in support of SAG-AFTRA presidential candidate Matthew Modine
. “Still waiting to find out if you’re also okay with racist jokes. If Modine makes such a tone-deaf ‘joke’ in public, what kind of jokes does he tell in private? Are there tapes?”
“Sorry, Abraham,” Modine can be heard saying. “I wish that Abraham and Queen would have had the opportunity to participate in this event.” [Scattered applause.] “I mean, we’re a union and we want to make sure that every voice is heard because you never know who’s going to offer some advice that you hadn’t thought of. Somebody who’s thinking outside of the box. … And so, my hat’s off to Queen and Abraham, and I wish they could be with us tonight.
Responding to the hate that’s been heaped upon him, one of Modine’s supporters who signed the statement of support tweeted, “Shame on you for taking his words out of context and twisting them against him.”
