Colman Domingo Obliterates MAGA with Savage Melania Trump Burn
Colman Domingo, guest host of “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” unleashed a savage mockery of right-wingers fuming over casting choices in Christopher Nolan’s latest film, “The Odyssey.”
He aired a clip of podcaster Chris Cella, who ranted about Lupita Nyong’o portraying Helen of Troy. Cella’s absurd comparison likened this casting to a Black man playing Abraham Lincoln or a white man as Martin Luther King Jr.
Domingo didn’t hold back on the fact-check. “Well, not exactly, because MLK was real. And Helen of Troy is as real as Harry Potter,” he shot back. He then added, “But I’ll be honest, I agree with that strange little dude. Helen of Troy shouldn’t have been played by a Black woman. She should have been played by a Black man ― specifically me!”
The audience erupted in cheers for the actor, who has starred in over a dozen films in just three years, including “Michael,” “Disclosure Day,” and “The Running Man.”
Domingo didn’t stop there. He delivered a stinging alternative for conservatives irked by the film’s diverse cast.
“I have a message for everyone who was upset about diversity and ‘The Odyssey’: If you want to see a film with a cast of all white people who are cursed by the gods, the Melania movie is currently streaming,” he quipped, taking aim at the controversial documentary about Melania Trump.
