Mark Hamill Dragged Online For Seemingly Likening Trump's Election Win To Pearl Harbor

Mark Hamill has sparked controversy over a politically charged comment in which he likened Donald Trump's re-election to Pearl Harbor.

A vocal Biden supporter, Hamill endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris during the 2024 presidential election and was disappointed at the results after Trump's victory.

While celebrated by some, Mark Hamill's critiques of Donald Trump drew backlash online, with critics accusing him of disrespect.

Hamill recently took to the social media platform Bluesky, where he seemingly compared Donald Trump's election to the attack on Pearl Harbor by referring to Election Day as "a Day That Will Live In Infamy."

The "Star Wars" icon's comment echoed President Franklin D. Roosevelt's infamous words about the 1941 Japanese attack that led the U.S. into World War II.

Although Hamill's post went largely unchallenged on Bluesky, which many liberals now use, it sparked criticism on X (formerly Twitter).

Some users questioned his stance, with one accusing him of letting "darkness consume his soul" and another claiming he "isn't a fan of democracy."

"At last, he found a place where he can push his nonsense with no pushback," a third noted, per the Daily Mail.

"So long, little Skywalker, you were an atrocious actor, and as it turns out, not smart," another person commented.

Hamill has been a vocal critic of former President Trump and the Republican Party while strongly backing Vice President Kamala Harris during the presidential race.

Hamill has regularly faced criticism for his comments about Trump, including mocking Trump's appearance at the Republican National Convention after an assassination attempt over the summer.

At the time, the actor joked, "1st APPEARANCE of ludicrously oversized ear bandage, apparently not needed prior to tonight [ear emoji and rolling on the floor laughing emoji]."

Hamill's comments sparked outrage among Trump supporters, who flooded the actor with criticism.

One person wrote, "You will never have the strength this man has. You jealous little clown. You are nothing."

"You ever get shot, Mark? Shut the f-ck up," Another lashed out.

Others called for more respect, with one user remarking, "Dedicate your entire account to your hatred for Trump all you like, Mr. Skywalker. But you must have realized that the attempted Trump assassination you mock has taken the innocent life of Corey Comperatore. Have some respect, you greasy f-ck."

In May, Hamill went viral for his surprise visit to the White House, during which he praised President Biden's achievements.

After his appearance in the Oval Office, Hamill, dressed in a dark suit, blue tie, and sunglasses, led a media briefing to the shock of reporters.

At the beginning of the briefing, he jokingly quipped: "How many of you had 'Mark Hamill will lead the press briefing' on your bingo card – hands?"

He continued: "Yeah, me neither. I just got to meet the president, and he gave me these aviator glasses," adding that he loves the "merch."

The 72-year-old stated that he was "honored" to meet Biden and praised him for being the "most legislatively successful president in my lifetime."

He added: "It just shows you that just one person can be so influential and so positive in our lives."

Hamill also highlighted key achievements such as the bipartisan infrastructure law, the PACT Act, the CHIPS Act, and the creation of 15 million jobs, adding, "It's all good."

Hamill also recounted a light-hearted exchange with Biden when he coined a nickname for the president.

"I called him 'Mr. President.' He said, 'You can call me Joe," Hamill recalled. "I said, 'Can I call you Joe-B-Wan Kenobi?" referencing the iconic Star Wars character.

Reflecting on his previous visits to White House events during different administrations, "The Return Of Jedi" star noted: "It was really amazing to me because I was invited to the Carter White House, and I came. And then I came to the Obama White House, but I never was invited into the Oval Office, and it was a large gathering."

"So this one was really extra special," he added, per The Guardian.

In May, Hamill shared a string of politically charged messages in support of Biden and against Trump, timed around May 4, a beloved day for "Star Wars" fans inspired by the iconic phrase, "May the Force be with you."

According to Newsweek, On May 1, he wrote, "May the First Inspire Your Thirst for Biden's Re-Election! #BidenHarris2024."

The following day, his post read, "May The Second Biden Administration Be As Productive and Successful As The 1st."

By May 3, his tone sharpened as he took an obvious dig at Trump: "May The Third Be Absurd That The Guy Who Tried To Steal A Fair Election Is Allowed To Run Again."

Finally, on May 4, Hamill capped the series by sharing a photo of himself and President Biden at the White House, captioned: "May The Fourth Be The Day A Make-Believe Defender Of The Galaxy Met A Real-Life Defender Of Democracy."
