    Danny Trejo Confronts Strong Criticism for Upcoming Show

    Danny Trejo has always been unafraid to take on acting roles. Throughout the last 40 years, he has showcased his talent in over 450 film and television appearances, stretching from Desperado to Machete to RuPaul’s Drag Race.

    Nevertheless, many of Trejo’s admirers are disappointed by his recent project choice.

    According to Deadline, Trejo is scheduled to appear in an adult animated comedy series called Mr. Birchum, which is being developed by the conservative media outlet The Daily Wire. The show will feature a collection of controversial conservative personalities, including Adam Carolla, Megyn Kelly, Roseanne Barr, and Candace Owens.

    Mr. Birchum, conceptualized by Carolla and based on his woodshop instructor from middle school, previously appeared as a puppet on the Comedy Central program Crank Yankers. In the series, Trejo will play the role of Switchblade, a former gang member who has reformed.

    As for The Daily Wire, it was established by Ben Shapiro, a conservative political commentator who has argued that homosexuality is a psychological disorder, supported the idea of necessary religious profiling in relation to Islam, and strongly reacted to Barbie to the point of creating a 43-minute video about it.

    On social media, Trejo’s supporters questioned his decision to collaborate with such divisive personalities and become associated with a platform renowned for spreading misinformation and producing content like Lady Ballers, a film that mocks transgender athletes.

    Some attributed his decision to simply wanting to earn a salary.

    There were jests that perhaps Trejo was pressured to participate in the animated series.

    Many perceived it as proof that he was yielding.

    Others were not surprised solely because of Trejo’s tendency to confirm everything before anyone else speaks their opinions.
