        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Beware of the retweet button.</p><p>Evan Peters issued an apology on Tuesday, claiming he accidentally retweeted a tweet that condoned violence against looters.</p><p>&#8220;I don’t condone the guy watching the news at all in the video which I have deleted,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/Evan_Peters?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor">he wrote</a>. &#8220;I unknowingly retweeted it. I’m deeply upset it got on my newsfeed. I sincerely apologize if anyone was offended. I support black lives matter wholeheartedly.&#8221;</p><p>The <a href="https://twitter.com/RimHammer/status/1267648236937867265">initial tweet</a> Peters, 33, shared was from a user called @RimHammer, who posted a news video of police chasing looters and captioned it, &#8220;I can watch these piece of s—t looters get tackled all day!!&#8221;</p><p>After taking down the retweet, the &#8220;X-Men&#8221; star posted a photo of a black square on his social media to signify solidarity <strong>with the &#8220;#BlackOutTuesday&#8221; movement</strong>.</p><p>However, several people were upset by Peters&#8217; retweet, with one person saying, &#8220;I honest to God hope u are hacked. Bc how are you going to retweet that video, undo your retweet, and then post this (TWICE)? Say it with me&#8230; PERFORMATIVE ACTIVISM.&#8221;</p><p>Another suggested, &#8220;<span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-1qd0xha r-ad9z0x r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0">Evan, If you support </span><span class="r-18u37iz">#BlackLivesMatter </span><span >wholeheartedly please share resources and information to your followers, the black box does nothing to help us. If you need links to share we have plenty.&#8221;</span></p><p>Peters was recently linked to singer Halsey, who has been actively protesting in Los Angeles and even <strong>provided medical attention</strong> to protestors shot by rubber bullets. The pair <strong>appear to have broken up</strong>.</p>]]></content:encoded>
