| [FoxNews] Woody Harrelson’s opening monologue during "Saturday Night Live," where he referenced the COVID-19 pandemic and collaboration between the medical industry and the government to push vaccines, has sparked backlash online. And Twitter CEO Elon Musk chimed in on the discussion. Closing out the segment, Harrelson talks about a film pitch that included one of the "craziest script" he’s read, which included the "biggest drug cartels" forcing people to remain in their homes unless they agreed to take and keep taking their drugs. "So the movie goes like this," the actor explained. "The biggest drug cartels in the world get together and buy up all the media and all the politicians and force all the people in the world to stay locked in their homes. And people can only come out if they take the cartel’s drugs and keep taking them over and over." Harrelson then joked: "I threw the script away. I mean, who was going to believe that crazy idea? Being forced to do drugs? I do that voluntarily all day." The comments were widely covered by media outlets, who called them "anti-vax" or "vax conspiracies." Several people on social media continued the conversation — with many people agreeing with the actor — then Musk chimed in. "So based. Nice work," Musk responded. Harrelsons' opening monologue included remarks about political division and he described himself as a "redneck hippie." "You know, the red in me thinks you should be allowed to own guns," he said. "The blue in me thinks – squirt guns. So, I’m red and blue which makes purple. I’m purple." He also made a mention to smoking weed and made a joke about why he prefers it to drinking alcohol. |
