Reacher Star Alan Ritchson Welcoming Bidens on Set Blows MAGA Minds

Alan Ritchson posted a look at President Joseph Biden, Dr. Jill Biden, and Hunter Biden's Reacher set visit, and some "fans" can't handle it.

The past few weeks have been buzzing for fans of Prime Video's Alan Ritchson-starring Reacher. After a ten-ton tease was dropped on social media, it was announced that bestselling author Lee Child's 2009 novel Gone Tomorrow would be the novel that would serve as the basis for the fourth season. Following that, we learned who the first eight folks would be joining the cast for the next go-around. Now, we're getting a very special behind-the-scenes look from Ritchson, highlighting President Joseph Biden, Dr. Jill Biden, and Hunter Biden's visit to the set.

"So our 'Reacher' set got in the way of these legends," Ritchson began the caption to his post, which included images and video of the actor and executive producer with the last great U.S. President and his family. "Was a privilege and honor to meet the Biden family. They couldn't have been more lovely. Kind, joyful, gracious and present. We chatted briefly about simple stuff, like string theory and quantum entanglement. Then Joe beat me at arm wrestling. All in a day's work."

Needless to say, some folks in the comments section are not taking the post well. Though Ritchson has made his position clear on any number of issues over the years, there are still a lot of folks who call themselves Reacher fans who just assumed that Jack Reacher is MAGA – and thus, so is Ritchson. Here's a look at the original post:

Shortly after it was announced that the fourth season will be adapting Gone Tomorrow, we learned that Ritchson's Jack Reacher would be joined by Jay Baruchel (FUBAR) as Jacob Merrick; Sydelle Noel (GLOW) as Tamara Green; Agnez Mo (Pernikahan Dini) as Lila Hoth; Anggun (Levitating) as Amisha Hoth; Kevin Weisman (Alias) as Russell Plum; Marc Blucas (My Life with the Walter Boys) as John Samson; Kevin Corrigan (Poker Face) as Detective Docherty; and Kathleen Robertson (The Expanse) as Elsbeth Samson.

"'The thing about subway cars is you step on one and you never know what's going to happen,'" read the caption quote from the novel that was included with the Instagram post showing Ritchson holding up four fingers and a copy of the novel. "REACHER Season 4 will be based on 'Gone Tomorrow' by Lee Child."

Here's a look back at the teaser post that dropped the big clue about the fourth season of Prime Video's Reacher:

Here's a look back at what Ritchson previously shared, along with the complete transcript of his caption and how it related to the upcoming fourth season:

Photo 1: I owe my career to the people standing next to me. Legends… all of them. Stopped by the Neagley set to see my dear friend @mariasten who is absolutely crushing it.

Photo 2: Always a privilege to spend time on an @emjaybassett run set. Was great to meet my wildly talented peers.

Photo 3: Reacher himself, Lee Child. I wish everyone had the good fortune of being best friends for life with this man like we are, because we are best friends and he is adopting me officially soon I think.

Photos 4/5: Back into stunts with Buster, Eric and team. Season 4 is going to be the most intensely physical season yet. My body is ready.

Photo 6: it's hilarious to me how many racks we'll go through to find the one or two outfits Reacher wears all season.

Season 4 is right around the corner and dare I say… May be the best season yet?
