“Clark Kent” made an appearance on the 8th day of the US January 6th hearings that intend to investigate the extremist ties to former President Trump, following the attack on the US Capitol earlier this year.
The similarity between the man and Superman’s alter ego was uncanny, with thousands of people tweeting to comment on the incident:
The New York Post, posted an article with one user responding:
“You know how ridiculous this hearing is to the American people when the highlight of the show is Clark Kent.”
