Mark Ruffalo mourns Democrats getting “asses kicked” in election: “Sometimes you have to spend a little time in bed”

Mark Ruffalo has mourned the Democrats getting their “asses kicked” in last week’s US presidential elections, saying: “Sometimes you have to spend a little time in bed.”Republican Donald Trump’s win made him the first ex-President to go back to the role in more than 130 years.

He also made history as the oldest man elected to America’s highest office at the age of 78. The Democrats Kamala Harris later conceded defeat to Trump.In his victory speech on November 6, Trump said:“ This will truly be the golden age of America – that’s what we have to have.

This is a magnificent victory for the American people that will allow us to make America great again.”Actor Ruffalo has now responded to the result after campaigning for Harris in recent months.Speaking at the ACLU of Southern California’s Bill of Rights Awards on Sunday, Ruffalo said: “We got our asses kicked.

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, but sometimes you have to spend a little time in bed before it happens. It was hard to come here, honestly.”He continued: “The fact that we’re here says a great deal about what we all care about in this life, and I want to appreciate you all for your values and the grief and the fear that you most acutely may be feeling as well, because I know I am.
