Gad Saad Gently Shreds Kyra Sedgwick’s Anti-Trump Fears
Author and pundit suggests actress' delusions ignore bigger threat to West
The Internet is undefeated in breathing new life into “resurfaced” comments.
That proved especially true during Cancel Culture’s diabolical peak. Even a decades-old gag could spark an Apology Tour if not outright cancelation.
Just ask Jimmy Fallon, pummeled for a 20-year-old blackface sketch that went unnoticed until George Floyd died during an altercation with Minneapolis police officers.
In 2000, while on SNL, I made a terrible decision to do an impersonation of Chris Rock while in blackface. There is no excuse for this.
I am very sorry for making this unquestionably offensive decision and thank all of you for holding me accountable.

Old, “problematic” jokes cost Kevin Hart his dream gig – hosting the Oscars.
A weeks-old Instagram post from actress Kyra Sedgwick just caught fire on X. Author Gad Saad took special note of her anti-Trump rant.
The Canadian pundit saw “The Closer” alum’s April comments and couldn’t help but respond.
The star said she could lose her right to vote, along with “bodily autonomy,” under the current Trump regime. Also at risk? Food banks may be emptied, leaving countless people to starve.

The comments came in preparation for an anti-Trump protest, but the clip mostly went ignored until a few X influencers gave it a second life this week.
Sedgwick’s “fears” struck Saad as factually-challenged, to put it mildly. Except he didn’t disparage Sedgwick or “own” the liberal starlet.
At least not right away.
Instead, he pointed out the flaws in her premise, hoping to coax others who share similar falsehoods into a reality check.

“What would be the mechanism that would justify her being afraid of a million things that she listed in that clip?” Saad asked.
Take a woman’s right to vote. The women’s suffrage movement righted that societal wrong in 1920 via the 19th Amendment.
“Is there any conceivable way by which in the United States today Donald Trump will say, ‘I’m done with the past 100 years … I’m removing that unequivocally. Women will now go back to being in the kitchen. Food will no longer be available because I’ve made all cuts to the government.'”
Saad also brought up her fear of losing bodily autonomy, which he assumed referenced the end of Roe v. Wade.
“I would imagine that [Sedgwick] is post-menopausal. In a very direct and literal sense it can’t affect her,” he said of the 59-year-old star, adding that the Left’s “bodily autonomy” argument is a fallacy even if she was of child-bearing years.
“This is the stuff I so often talk about when I discuss parasitized minds as being the most dangerous force of nature,” he said. “This is a functioning human being who supposedly does not suffer from a mental illness, although one could argue that baffling imbecility could be a form of cognitive impairment.”
The evolutionary behavioral scientist wrapped by noting a more realistic threat, “an intrusion of a religion in the United States, if not in the West, that might have a much more direct and real causal connection to her as a woman being more threatened” than she realizes.
That’s particularly true for Jewish women. Visit any college campus in 2025 to understand what Saad means.
“She decided that the most fundamental and existential threat to her, and all women in the United States, is Donald Trump,” he said.
She’s not alone, of course.
Editor’s Note: It’s a brutal time to be an independent journalist, but it’s never been more necessary given the sorry state of the corporate press. If you’re enjoying Hollywood in Toto, I hope you’ll consider leaving a coin (or two) in our Tip Jar.
I believe the 19th Amendment was a terribly bad idea.
Whether or not it was a bad idea is moot. The President does not have the authority to repeal Constitutional provisions.
