George Lopez has stirred controversy after responding to an alleged $80 million bounty put on President Trump's head after Iranian general Qassem Soleimani was killed in a U.S. airstrike.
A eulogist at Soleimani's funeral procession called for an $80 million bounty on Trump while addressing crowds in the city of Mashhad. The unidentified man stated, ""We are 80 million Iranians. If each one of us puts aside one American dollar, we will have 80 million American dollars, and we will reward anyone who brings us [Trump]'s head with that amount."
The Instagram account @chicanoworldstar posted about the bounty and Lopez responded by writing, "We'll do it for half." Lopez was defended by fellow comedians Kathy Griffin and Chris D'Elia after being slammed online. You can check out the reactions above.
