Ron Perlman Says Donald Trump Is ‘F—ing Terrified’ of Kamala Harris and ‘I Don’t Think It’s Going to Be Close’ on Election Day: ‘She’s F—ing Brilliant!’
“Hellboy” icon Ron Perlman recently appeared on SiriusXM’s “The Dean Obeidallah Show” ahead of Election Day (via Mediaite) to praise Kamala Harris’ campaign as “pitch perfect.” The actor has long been an outspoken critic of Donald Trump, and claimed the Republican nominee is “fucking terrified” of Harris. Perlman predicts Harris will be elected president, and “I don’t even think it’s going to be close.”
“Fucking Kamala Harris. She’s the first one that has put [Trump] in his place to the point where he’s so fucking terrified! He canceled all of his press, canceled all of his debate,” Perlman said. “He is terrified of her! Because she has his number. The parts of her campaign that I love the most is when she goes off script because you watch who she really is and how she responds in real time to questions, to things that are thrown at her. She’s had a lot of hecklers at some of her rallies, and the way she primarily deals with these people…She is smooth. She is tough. She is no nonsense. She is fucking brilliant!”

“But the best thing is she has a heart and a soul and she’s my girl,” Perlman added. “I mean, she is my girl. We’re watching that extra gear that very, very few politicians get to have. Obama was, you know, since Kennedy, that extra charisma thing that TV cameras love and the power of love and that gets people off the sidelines. She has that as well, which is the reason why I don’t even think it’s going to be close on Tuesday.”
Perlman also praised Harris for choosing Tim Walz as her running mate, and he expressed enthusiasm for the way she immediately started targeting Trump when she replaced Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee for president.
“The very first phrase I remember her uttering within 48 hours of her emergence was the people who she put in jail as a prosecutor,” Perlman said. “Felons, rapists, con men, people who game the system. And she says, ‘I know his type.'”
Perlman, who recently popped up in the Apple TV+ original movie “The Instigators,” is one of many Hollywood names publicly supporting Harris in the presidential election. He joins the likes of George Clooney, Kerry Washington, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift and more.
