Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence is facing a backlash after appearing to suggest that the recent spate of deadly hurricanes to hit the US are ‘mother nature’s rage’ against President Donald Trump and his supporters.
After Houston suffered the worst flooding in recent memory from Harvey and Miami prepares to face a direct hit from Irma, the outspoken actress, 27, seemed to lay the blame for the natural disasters firmly with voters who are skeptical about global warming.
‘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,’ said Lawrence, in an interview with the UK’s Channel 4 to promote her new movie, Mother!
The interviewer reminded the star that the US went to the polls just under a year ago and chose Trump, to which Lawrence answered, ‘And we voted and it was really startling’.
Then Lawrence insinuated that the deadly hurricanes were inflicted upon the USA because climate-change denying voters chose the billionaire tycoon.
‘You know you’re watching these hurricanes now, and it’s really hard especially while promoting this movie, not to feel mother nature’s rage and wrath,’ she stated.
The reaction she received from the interview was harsh.
