Mark Ruffalo called for President Trump to be removed from office during a march against white supremacy.
The "Hulk" actor was among activists marching from Charlottesville, Virginia, to the nation's capital to condemn white supremacy sentiments recently on display in the Virginia city.
The actor tweeted photos of himself Thursday at "The March to Confront White Supremacy."

In a statement, Ruffalo said he's marching in memory of Heather Heyer, who died when a car plowed into a group of people protesting the white nationalist rally in Charlottesville on Aug. 12. Ruffalo also condemned Trump's response that "both sides" were to blame for the violence.
Ruffalo says there's "no place for racism, violence, and hatred" in the country.
