'Trump is a rapist and a con man': Actor Alan Ritchson (Reacher) insults Trump, calls Christians 'vitriolic tribe'

Actor Alan Ritchson (Reacher) called President Donald Trump a "rapist" and attacked the Catholic church while also making comments about the modeling industry.

The self-professed Christian shares video online for what he calls InstaChurch, a series in which the "Reacher" actor explores scripture and how it relates to his life.

"I’m a Christian quite simply because of what Jesus calls us to do. Love other people until death. It doesn’t mean we’re all to be hung on a cross, but how can I suffer for you? That is a beautiful thing," Ritchson said.

Those comments did not come without deep criticism of Christians and the Catholic church.

"Christians today have become the most vitriolic tribe," Ritchson claimed. "It is so antithetical to what Jesus was calling us to be and to do."

The 41-year-old also seemingly called out all levels of the Catholic church other than the papacy.

"It’s worth saying that the atrocities that are happening in the church that are being actively covered up, even to this day with people not being held accountable, is repulsive," he told the Hollywood Reporter. "I can’t for one second support the Catholic Church while there are still cardinals, bishops, and priests being passed around with known pedophilic tendencies."

Despite his mother being Catholic, the outlet reported that Ritchson rejected any association with the church. He also took shots at Christians who have supported President Trump.

Ritchson was described as being upset with said Christians over their alignment with the former president despite him being a "rapist."

"Trump is a rapist and a con man, and yet the entire Christian church seems to treat him like he’s their poster child and it’s unreal. I don’t understand it."

Ritchson has embedded himself in activism in the past and has had some of that commentary resurface. This included a 2020 photo of the actor wearing a shirt that said "arrest the cops that k**led Breonna Taylor." This was in reference to a woman who was shot by police during the execution of a warrant for a drug case.

"That was a tragic case," Ritchson said. "Cops get away with murder all the time, and the fact that we can’t really hold them accountable for their improprieties is disturbing to me."

Ritchson also called for complete "reform" and claimed it takes more time to get an education as a "hairstylist than as a cop."


Ritchson also made claims about the modeling agency, which he was once a part of. He called the industry "legalized sex trafficking," adding that it is "not regulated" while likening being hired for a job to being "trafficked" to a photographer.

"The number of times and situations where I was put in horrific environments where sexual abuse was the goal and the paycheck that you were desperate for in order to survive was the carrot, I can’t count on two hands. It was quite often."
