Comedian Chris Rock stated that President Trump is correct in his criticism of the media as 'fake.' In an interview with Variety about his upcoming film, 'Misty Green,' Rock reflected on his views of Trump, noting, 'I’m not a fan. But it’s weird when somebody gets one thing right, and the one thing almost clears them of all their other sins. The news is fake. He got that right.' Rock, who predicted Trump's 2016 election win, also commented on the potential consequences of Trump's arrest, suggesting it would increase his popularity. He made these remarks during an event in Washington, D.C., where he humorously addressed attendees, including former Speaker Nancy Pelosi and members of President Biden’s administration, saying, 'Are you guys really going to arrest Trump? Do you know this is only going to make him more popular. It’s like arresting Tupac. He’s just gonna sell more records. Are you stupid?'
