Universal Pictures film executives have reportedly pulled ads for an upcoming horror film, “The Hunt,” which centers on a retreat for rich, elite liberals to physically hunt “deplorables” for sport.
“Deplorables” has been a nickname for President Donald Trump supporters since the 2016 presidential election.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, executives decided to pull advertisements for the film in the wake of the deadly mass killings that took place in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, over the weekend.
