ESPN Pulls Trailer for Movie Where Liberals Hunt “Deplorables” for Sport

ESPN has pulled the trailer for “the hunt,” a new movie where liberal elites hunt red state “deplorables” for sport.

WATCH:

Many of the comments show a backlash against the premise.

Conservatives have been targeted in attacks from the left, including Antifa’s attack on Andy Ngo.

Most recently, Rep. Joaquin Castro chose to post a list of Trump donors on his Twitter feed, leading to a backlash and claims he is targeting Trump supporters for shame and harassment.

ESPN has pulled a trailer for Universal Pictures and Blumhouse’s The Hunt – a movie reportedly featuring liberal elites hunting red state “deplorables” for sport – over the weekend, a decision influenced by the mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton, that left over 30 dead and several dozen wounded.

An ESPN source confirmed that the film’s trailers will no longer air on the network, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Over the Aug. 3 weekend, ESPN pulled an ad for the film that it had previously cleared, while AMC ran the spot during the season premiere of its drama The Preacher. It’s unclear whether the ads were identical, but the one yanked by ESPN opened with a sound resembling an emergency broadcast signal. A rep for ESPN parent Disney declined to comment on the move, but an ESPN source says no spots for the film will appear on the network in the coming weeks.

The film, which has been described as a gory satire featuring actresses Hilary Swank and Betty Gilpin, follows a group of elites who stalk and murder conservatives in red states. The hunters are fueled by their hatred of the “MAGA-type” characters and their right-leaning positions. While the term “deplorables” may not be explicitly stated in the trailer, Daily Mail notes that the “hunted” were, in fact, described as “deplorables” in the screenplay.
