[See NewsBusters for more.] Avengers director Joss Whedon was given air time on MSNBC on Friday to bash “nightmarish” Republicans as trying to stop people from voting and Donald Trump as a “scary monster.” The filmmaker, who has started a Super Pac to defeat the businessman, attacked, “I think he's a threat to our country. I think he is a threat to our idea of democracy. I think he's a scary monster and I am not shy about that.” Regarding Republican anti-voter fraud efforts, Whedon mocked, “The fact [is] that the GOP is constantly trying to put up laws that's making it harder to vote and talk about voter fraud when they want to stop people from voting.” He concluded, “Clearly, they want to stop people from being heard and I think if they are heard, that's going to stop that nightmare from happening.”
