Ken Jeong and Robin Thicke left the stage following Rudy Giuliani's reveal
Guiliani has become a controversial figure in the US after pressing the claim that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from his client, former President Donald Trump.
Ken and Robin's decision to walk off stage has sparked a massive reaction from fans, who have taken to Twitter to support the judges.
Tweeting at Ken, one person wrote: "A lot of respect to you and Thicke for walking out of that show. You're a good role model," while another added, referencing his character in NBC comedy Community: "Thank you for walking out. I never thought that Señor Chang would be the voice of principled objection in America, but these are strange times. Appreciate you."
The episode will air in March
Other fans tweeted at Robin, with one person writing: "Thank you and @kenjeong for walking out on Rudy Giuliani. Thanks for standing up for democracy," while another added: "Thank you for walking out sir!!"
This isn't the first time the primetime show has proved controversial, however. The series faced criticism after politician Sarah Palin was unveiled as The Bear in 2020. She was eliminated after performing a rendition of Sir Mix-A-Lot's Baby Got Back.
