Hanks remarked that her online comment was misunderstood, asserting, 'My response was about Trump having the opportunity to bring the country together. It was more about that than the whole MAGA thing.' In her reflection, she added, 'People can stir the pot all they want.' Hanks emphasized her friendship with Ignizio, stating, 'I agreed with what he said,' thus clarifying her stance rather than explicitly endorsing the entire MAGA agenda.
A local Democratic activist expressed concern over Hanks' comment, saying, 'At best, it's tone deaf. At worst, it's a betrayal.' They highlighted a sentiment that many perceive Hanks as a 'closet Republican,' suggesting Trump's victory has emboldened her to openly express views aligned with the GOP, which complicates her standing within the party.
During her interview, Hanks urged her fellow Democrats to stop the 'circular firing squad' mentality, insisting, 'We need to figure out what went wrong this election cycle, fix it, and look to the future.' She conveyed a positive outlook on the country, saying, 'I love our country and always think it's great - despite all its bumps and bruises'.
