Kevin Sorbo is once again stirring up controversy with his latest political commentary. Recently, he’s been vocal about the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, a topic that’s already been making headlines.
Sorbo, who once had a moderately successful acting career (though that’s hardly the talk of the town now), has taken to X (formerly Twitter) to share his views on the recent shooting. In one of his posts, he highlighted the tragic loss of a man who reportedly used his body to shield his family, expressing dismay at the situation. However, Sorbo’s approach has been anything but consistent. He’s also shared a distasteful joke about one of Trump’s bodyguards, making a sexist remark based solely on her gender—a move that’s likely to be seen as hypocritical.
In another post, Sorbo drew a dubious comparison between the shooter and Kyle Rittenhouse, suggesting that while Rittenhouse’s victims were deserving of their fate, the man who died protecting his family was a hero. This comparison seems to serve more to promote Sorbo’s own controversial views rather than provide a meaningful analysis of the events.
Adding to the mix, Sorbo has been busy selling T-shirts featuring a graphic of Trump with a bloodied face and a raised fist. It appears Sorbo has transitioned from attempting to revive his acting career to capitalizing on political drama. Judging by the quality of the shirts—essentially a hastily slapped image of Trump—the venture seems as uninspired as his acting projects.
Despite the outrage and the problematic commentary, Sorbo’s antics provide ample material for discussion, though it’s doubtful that his T-shirt sales are anything to write home about. It seems his most consistent talent these days is generating headlines rather than producing noteworthy work.
