Chris Pratt Under Fire Again for Praising Controversial Political Figure

Hollywood star Chris Pratt is once again embroiled in controversy following a social media post. Known for his roles in Marvel's 'Guardians of the Galaxy' and 'Avengers' franchises, Pratt's recent online activity has drawn significant criticism.

Pratt posted a message on his personal social media account, stating he was praying for Charlie Kirk, his wife, their children, and "our country," seeking divine grace. Kirk, a prominent conservative commentator and a close ally of former President Donald Trump, was recently the victim of a fatal shooting incident during a speaking engagement in Utah.

However, the actor's tribute has ignited backlash, with critics pointing to Kirk's past controversial remarks that seemingly downplayed the severity of gun violence and victimhood. Many online comments accused Pratt of supporting someone who allegedly disrespected victims of mass shootings, particularly in school settings.

This is not the first time Pratt has faced such accusations. He was previously labeled a 'pro-Trump' supporter in 2020 due to his association with a church known for its conservative stance, which critics alleged held anti-LGBTQ+ views. At the time, his absence from a pro-Biden event attended by other Avengers cast members further fueled the speculation.

Chris Pratt gained global fame for portraying Peter Quill, also known as Star-Lord, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He has also starred as the lead in the highly successful 'Jurassic World' film series. Beyond his acting career, Pratt is known for his dedication to fitness and a healthy lifestyle.
