Ray, who co-wrote the screenplay for The Hunger Games and directed the Showtime miniseries The Comey Rule, shared his intent to destroy the careers of the 43 GOP senators who voted to acquit Trump this Saturday. “Time, money, energy, will — whatever it takes,” he wrote on social media.
In a separate tweet, the Captain Phillips screenwriter also encouraged left-wing activists to begin organizing for the 2022 midterm elections.
Ray is one of many Hollywood elites who experienced an emotional meltdown after the Senate’s vote. Stars including Alyssa Milano, Rob Reiner, John Cusack, and Rosie O’Donnell took to social media to vent their outrage and frustration over the weekend.
Last year, Showtime moved up its two-part limited series The Comey Rule by a full two months, after Ray pressured the ViacomCBS-owned cable network to air the series before the November presidential election. The series is a dramatization of the disgraced former FBI director’s book A Higher Loyalty.
