Fake rumors: David Sutcliffe, 51, of the Gilmore Girls, denies any involvement in the Capitol disturbances, as he calls the rumors “false” on Twitter
Gilmore Girls actor David Sutcliffe cleared the air and denied rumors that he was part of the violent Capitol riot earlier this month.
The 51-year-old Canadian actor, who retired from the screens and now works as a motivational trainer, denied any involvement in the January 6 uprising after rumors started circulating on Twitter.
Making a statement on January 16, Sutcliffe called the charges false.
‘There are rumors circulating that I’ invaded the capital ‘. It is not true – although I was proud to share a cigarette with this great Patriot! ‘he wrote, sharing a clip of a man smoking marijuana at the Capitol roundabout during the siege.
Controversial answer: despite trying to abstain from any involvement in the insurrection, he retweeted the video of a man smoking pot in the building and called him a ‘great patriot!’
The rumors emerged after he allegedly posted a video of the rebellion on Instagram and quickly deleted it, and some of his followers thought he had made the video himself.
The fans were quick to respond to your statement when a diehard fan of the show wrote, ‘No wonder I didn’t like you in the Gilmore girls, it all makes sense.’
Another said, ‘Seriously, they are domestic terrorists. They are not patriots. ‘
‘Guys … is it possible that he’s playing? I literally saw it days ago and laughed and kept thinking it was a real joke. I feel like he’s sitting at home laughing … watching the outrage. If it’s not a joke, then … I’m worried. It’s sad. And worried, ‘said a Twitter user in his defense.
The former actor retweeted that post and replied with ‘Correct’.

Great technology: Sutcliffe talked about Trump’s ban on Twitter while talking about his concern that ‘great technology was more powerful than the government’
Symbol of rebellion: the Canadian actor had a conversation with Cernovich, who is an alternative right-wing media personality, saying that Trump would eventually become a ‘symbol of rebellion’
In a series of tweets on January 10, Sutcliffe responded to Twitter by banning Donald Trump from the platform by retweeting a user’s statement that said ‘If you can silence a king, you are the king’, as he said ‘The question is that great technology is more powerful than the government. Is that none of your business? ‘
When the personality of the right-wing alternative media Michael Cernovich – a political commentator, Pizzagate supporter, anti-feminist and one of Donald Trump’s early supporters – called Trump ‘low status’, Sutcliffe also responded to him.
‘Trump is in low status now. I mean, from a brand position. His whole image depended on attracting the rich and powerful. No one is going to rent your properties. He will never come back from this. He can retire on a yacht in international waters. Probably your best bet now, ‘said Cernovich.
Sutcliffe replied: ‘Until he dies, he becomes a symbol of rebellion and replaces Che Guevara on T-shirts’.
In addition, he liked a tweet that said ‘Women’s politics is better for the home. The politics of men is better for the world ‘, and another that he called the’ authoritarian left ‘,’ sick ‘.
Despite his seemingly conservative mentality, the actor is on record for donating $ 1,250 in 2007 to then-presidential candidate Barack Obama, according to Deadline.
