[NEWSBUSTERS.ORG] A famed Broadway actress is joining Hollywood’s crusade against President Trump ‐ by asking for president-assassinator John Wilkes Booth.On Sunday, TMZ asked 94-year-old television and Broadway actress Carole Cook (Sixteen Candles, 42nd Street) about President Trump and a recent performance of Frozen. During the musical’s curtain call, one actor grabbed and threw away a "Trump 2020" banner from an audience member. While Cook hadn’t heard of the incident, she responded, "Where is John Wilkes Booth when you need him?"
Her husband, Tom Troupe, explained who Booth was: "He killed presidents," or, more particularly, he shot President Abraham Lincoln in 1865. He’s just a few years too late to hunt Trump.
"He killed presidents?" Plural? Did he get Garfield and McKinley, too?
"Don’t say that," Cook joked back at Troupe. "They’ll get me for that." A few seconds later, she checked, "Will I be on an enemies list? My God, I hope so."
If there really was one, she wouldn't be so insouciant.
"Just keep me out of jail," she concluded. "Or maybe not."
