"Stranger Things" has been widely considered as the most appealing TV shows for 2016. It is a Netflix's series which has generally cemented its position in the pop culture even far after the star David Harbour made his speech at Sunday during the Screen Actors Guild Awards ceremony.
Harbour was heard delivering a speech of acceptance during SAG for winning the Best Ensemble Cast and he called the award "a call to arms" which will stand against the policies that seek to destroy the weak. He even mentioned President Donald Trump on his speech while mentioning, "a not so thinly veiled jab" which refers to a disenfranchised and marginalized policy, The Wrap reported.
Apparently, Harbour's speech was a response to Trump's executive order which barred immigrants from those seven Middle Eastern countries who are traveling in the US. Recently, the order was mocked as a de facto ban on Muslim immigrants which also includes those who already had a green card and visas.
The SAG awards came at the weekend in order to protest against the ban at the airports across the country. Further, Harbour also continued his speech while adding that "Stranger Things" was an opportunity to repel bullies and to hunt monsters.
As Harbour spoke about President Donald Trump, he received a standing ovation from the celebrity-filled audience of the awards ceremony. He even mentioned the term, "punch people in the face" which then he referred to his character as "Punch" in the season 1. But on the other hand, he was also referring to the current state of the US politics, Global News reported.
Further, as his speech goes, he expressed that they are united and that they are all human beings. He said that they will be together in this "horrible, painful, joyous, exciting and mysterious ride being alive." Harbour also added this to his speech as he wanted to offer hope and unity to the listening audience that night.
