The vast right-wing conspiracy has a sense of humor. Saying Hollywood liberal Tom Hanks is endorsing Donald Trump is the height of hoot.
Hoax-busting site Snopes.com is swatting the latest fly from conservative101.com — which said: “So it will likely not surprise you to learn which candidate Hanks plans to vote for in November: Republican nominee Donald Trump.”
This is the same site — registered in Scottsdale, Arizona — that Friday reported about Bernie Sanders: “Now that that’s over, he’s done. He’s out. Today he announced that he is leaving the craven Democratic party that betrayed him and becoming an independent.”
On the Hanks-endorsing-Trump case, Snopes.com said: “In the real world, Tom Hanks is a Hillary Clinton supporter and has actively campaigned on her behalf.“
Some who got the memo and some who didn’t:
