Jennifer Lawrence
Says Hurricanes Are Punishment For Electing Trump
"You’re watching these hurricanes now, and it’s
really hard ... not to feel Mother Nature’s rage, or wrath."
ByAmanda Prestigiacomo
Speaking to British media just before her latest movie
premiere, actress Jennifer Lawrence suggested the recent
destructive hurricanes to hit the United States are punishment — Mother
Nature's “wrath" — for voting Donald Trump into the White House.
While promoting her new film Mother! on Wednesday,
the Oscar-winning actress touched on all-things political, such as the
widely debunked gender wage gap, the "settled" science of man-made
climate change, and the election of Donald Trump.
There was also chatter concerning the movie.
"It’s scary," the actress told the Channel 4
reporter when it was suggested there is "an end-of-days feeling" in
the world that is "truer" in the U.S. "than anywhere else."
"You know, it’s this new language that’s
forming," Lawrence said. "I don’t even recognize it. It’s also scary
to know that climate
change is due to human activity, and we continue to ignore it, and
the only voice that we really have is through voting —"
"And you have voted, very recently, as a
country," the reporter interjected.
"And we voted, and it was really startling,"
said the actress. "You know, you’re watching these hurricanes now, and
it’s really hard, especially while promoting this movie, not to, not to feel
Mother Nature’s rage, or wrath," said the Hunger Games star.
Hurricane Harvey
hit Texas last week, causing billions in destruction and leaving at least 70
Americans dead. A massive and deadly hurricane approaching Florida, Hurricane Irma, has
already triggered parts of Florida to evacuate.
Lawrence also agreed with the British reporter that America
is in "a time of huge division."
"It's really polarizing and upsetting," she
said. "You know, I’ve heard things and seen things on TV in my own country
that devastate me and make me sick, and it’s just really confusing.”
