Comedian and actor George Lopez recently claimed that the Secret Service had paid him a visit in Los Angeles after he made a joke about President Donald Trump on social media. His claim has apparently since gone viral, sparking a heated debate about the limits of free speech.
Speaking on ‘The Big Podcast with Shaq‘, hosted by Shaquille O’Neal, Lopez revisited a 2020 controversy. According to Newsweek, an Iranian lawmaker that year referenced a bounty on the President, who was serving his first term, following the U.S. strike that killed Iranian General Qassem Soleimani. Lopez recalled resharing a report about the reported $80 million figure and joking, “We’ll do it for half.”
