Bradley Cooper Faces Backlash For Attending DNC After Playing Chris Kyle

Bradley Cooper found himself in a social media firestorm simply for sitting in the audience at the DNC on Wednesday. Some viewers were apparently upset that the actor, who famously portrayed sharpshooter Chris Kyle in American Sniper - a known Republican before his death in 2013 - would attend the Democratic National Convention. #InsideEdition

I'm a Conservative but seriously? Let the man vote for whoever he wants. Bradley Cooper isn't Chris Kyle.

[kathryndoyle]

I don't get it. He's a person too

[alycat]

HES AN ACTOR!!!JUST BECAUSE HE WAS A REPUBLICAN IN A MOVIE DOESNT MEAN HE IS A

[KyleCorwith]

This is a good example of the masses not being able to separate a character in a popular film from the autonomous stranger, i.e., the actor.

[SolarisSaber]

People always got to complain about something...Our society is becoming more pathetic by the day.

[TheDWYCK]

So you have to be a Republican to be a so called hero?

[TheBeautyObsessed]

He's not Chris Kyle? What's the big deal?

[jonathanlowenthal]

Yes because playing a movie character really means your that person right? I have learned a lot today.

[Darius]

that is just lame. why would him going to the dnc any less American than if he went to the rnc.

[monet]

He's an actor and his name is Bradley Cooper not Chris Kyle people. Can't separate 2 different people.

[shawnf.]

People think they can run others peoples life, if he supports Hillary ot Trump why should we care?

[davehshs]

Republicans' reaction to this just shows that they don't know the difference between a movie and reality. This should be obvious considering how many of them believe Donald Trump can "make America great again." LOL

[pedemeyer]

You gotta be kidding😂
Just a hint...:
Tom Hanks was never on appolo 5 and jack nicolson did not kill his own family in The Shining.
In fact he did not kill anyone during the hole movie
It was an act..., they made it up!!!

[shevawnmacdonald]

Last I heard Democrats love America and Chris Kyle too, republican seem to think they created America, guess what it was a joint effort, Arlington is full of both sides of the political spectrum, we owe our freedom to both.

[danbriars]

Presumably Arnold Schwarzenegger always sets off airport security because he played the terminator

[CaseyRedgrave]

Only idiots would be mad at him for this.

[JesusChristmyMESSIAH]

Bradley had no way of knowing Chris Kyle was a liar.

[ethanmietzner]

Wow, how's he supporting Hillary?!?? You would think he would be smart enough to vote trump.

[horseradish]

Actors must now hold the political views of the people they portray? lol wot

[jeunessehi]

lol hes not actually Chris Kyle.. wtf is wrong with people....
