WRONG GUY

Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn’s Son Responds to Claim He Was Viral ICE Protester

The bearded protester told National Guardsmen stationed outside of a federal immigration detention center in Los Angeles that they were on the “wrong side of history.”

It turns out Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn’s Son Wyatt Russell did not go viral for rebuking federal troops deployed to Los Angeles in response to protests against federal immigration raids. “Your assault rifles and your sticks? You should be standing here with us,” the protester, a lanky white man with a beard and shoulder-length hair, told a group of armed National Guardsmen standing outside a federal immigration detention center. “We know you got a job to do, but you took an oath to the Constitution, not to the fascists in the White House.” Later he asks, “Do you think any of these people in the White House sending you these commands give a f--- about you?” The video went viral, with several accounts identifying the protester as Marvel star Wyatt Russell. A spokesperson for the actor, however, told The Independent that Russell wasn’t the man in the video. It actually shows Aaron Fisher, a former Ohio House Democratic Caucus staffer who is now a partner at Statecraft Media. Fisher told Entertainment he thought the mix-up was funny and was glad it helped amplify his message.
