The response arrived a day after Ritchson’s interview with the Happy Sad Confused podcast. The actor called the president a “bitch” and a “fucking rapist,” and criticized the government over the sluggish release of the Jeffrey Epstein files and the president’s alleged association with the convicted pedophile. “The Epstein files, the fucking Epstein files!” Ritchson said. “Goddamn it! Where are they? It’s a fucking law, bitch. Show it. You fucking pedophiles!” (Trump has repeatedly denied rape allegations against him.)

Launching into his tirade, Ritchson added, “This is my fucking politics, dude. I would fucking railroad these fuckers. I would get those Epstein files out in two seconds. Fucking move out of the way. I don’t care what room they’re in, bitch, move. Give me the fucking manila envelope. I will get you the Epstein files. Don’t you want to see what’s in there, so that we can hold people accountable? These fucking rapists! We’re just cool with it?”
