San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer slammed claims from actor Orlando Bloom that he "fled" a Comic-Con event because of its immigration theme. On Friday, Bloom, 42, alleged during a "Carnival Row" panel at San Diego Comic-Con that Faulconer, 52, left an Amazon Prime interactive exhibition after being given an "identity card" as that of "a mythological scrappy immigrant trying to make it in an oppressive new land." Bloom alleged that Faulconer responded, “Oh no – I can’t have anything to do with immigration” and ran out of the room, according to Variety.
