John Schneider responded to the allegations stemming from the since-deleted post in a statement where he claimed that he didn’t threaten anyone. The “Smallville” star went on to suggest that the news media were twisting his words or skewing his intent, despite screen grabs of the post being taken before it was deleted.
“This is my final comment on this,” Schenider told Deadline. “I neither said nor implied any such thing. Despite headlines claiming otherwise, in my post, I absolutely did not call for an act of violence or threaten a U.S. president as many other celebrities have done in the past. I suggest you re-read my actual post and pay attention to the words before believing this nonsense.”
Of course, there’s a certain degree of irony here when you consider that Schneider’s character, Jonathan Kent, had political ambitions of his own on “Smallville” before tragically dying in the series’ 100th episode. Still, we doubt the Secret Service will see this as an extended bit of method acting nearly two decades after the fact.
