'Orphan Black' Star Says America Is Run By a 'Tyrannical Fascist'

You probably don’t want to go to actor Jordan Gavaris for geo-political advice. The star of BBC America’s Orphan Black spouted off on Islam, terrorism and the attack on London. He also managed to bash Donald Trump as a “tyrannical fascist.” 

When one Muslim person feels so convicted that they do something drastic and murderous and terrible, and then to make a — a generalized and uninformed and — and really ridiculous statements or assumption about all Muslim people or even all Muslim extremists for that matter, it’s just — it’s ridiculous. And if you’re actually looking through — if you’re educated about it and you’re not just reactive, then you figure out why that’s happening. You figure out what the advantage is to uniting a country with a common enemy. And frankly, it’s just a distraction from all of the ridiculous politics happening in Washington, from the tyrannical fascist that’s currently leading this country. And I feel very convicted and saying he’s a tyrannical fascist. That’s how we feel in Canada.

(This interview is from March 24.) And I feel way more "convicted" that Gavaris would be a lot safer near "tyrannical fascist" Trump than he would be hanging around such Muslim extremists as the Iranian mullahs or ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi who would toss his Felix Dawkins male prostitute character off a rooftop without a moment's hesitation.
