Seth Rogen's snide remarks about Donald Trump and RFK Jr at Breakthrough Prize cut from broadcast

Washington D.C.: Seth Rogen’s sly digs about former President Donald Trump’s impact on US science were cut from the official broadcast of the Breakthrough Prize ceremony, a prestigious science awards show co-founded by tech billionaires like Mark Zuckerberg and Sergey Brin.
While presenting an award, Rogen appeared to reference Elon Musk — who was absent — saying, “It’s amazing that others in this room underwrote electing a man who, in the last week, single-handedly destroyed all of American science.” He added, “It’s amazing how much good science you can destroy with $320m and RFK Jr, very fast.” These comments were omitted from the 99-minute YouTube upload.
