Jim Carrey has brandished Donald Trump "a melanoma", while calling Mitch McConnell "incredibly dangerous" and "a threat to homeland security".
While speaking at a panel at Vulture Fest in Los Angeles (via The Hollywood Reporter), the actor-turned-artist unveiled his latest work, a portrait of Senate Majority Leader McConnell as a turtle ("which unfortunately for him now is not protected," Carrey said), with a blue wave crashing behind him.
"And now he has the nerve to come out a couple of days ago and ask for bipartisanship." He added, "These are not people you can deal with. You cannot be bipartisan with a criminal. A rapist needs to be removed, not negotiated with. These people are raping our system, they're destroying it right in front of us.... This corrupt Republican congress that was.... These people have to be removed from our system because they're bad for us."
"Trump is a melanoma, and anybody that covers for him, including Sarah Sanders, is putting makeup on it. It shows that there's a deeper problem in this country, and that problem is greed."
He also stated his support for Beto O'Rourke as a presidential candidate, with Kamala Harris as vice president. "I think she's fantastic," he said. "I think he's an incredible guy, and I would love to vote in this decade for someone that's not the lesser of the evils."
Carrey has previously expressed his support for O'Rourke during the midterms, tweeting: "Go Beto! Go Democrats! Vote like there's no tomorrow. Let's make this Tuesday like the end of every great vampire movie. Pull back the curtains and let the sunshine turn all those bloodsuckers to dust."
