Hollywood celebrities reacted predictably and emotionally to the Trump administration’s decision to rescind Obama’s unconstitutional Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
Newsbusters reports that the overwhelming accusations of racism and hatred levied by Hollywood’s loudest (and most privileged) in the past two or three days have glossed over the context of the DACA policy, the decision to overturn it, and the potential consequences (which are unknown at this point.) Instead, the elite actors, journalists, and entertainers aligned the DACA decision with the Charlottesville violence.
White rapper Moby, whose Twitter handle is "The Little Idiot," tweeted that it was sad that those eligible for DACA were being used as "a political football" by the “racist #republican supporters.” Actor John Leguizamo tweeted to Trump, “You and the republicans are definitely becoming the enemy of Latinxs in America and Latin America.”
Director Judd Apatow accused the GOP of “not believing in democracy.” He also said, “What would Trump do to a Transgender, DACA child who wants to take down racist monuments and believes in global warming? The stockade?” Ironic, considering that it's the left that believes in violently suppressing and punishing those it disagrees with.
Talk show host and failed comedienne Chelsea Handler, pictured above looking depressed, declared in a juvenile tweet that, “Donald Trump hates brown people.” She later posted, “Welcome to the land of Kim Jun Trump.” Ha ha! Comedy gold! And if she lived in North Korea, the land of Kim Jong Un, Handler would never be heard of again after making such a crack about the Great Leader.
Self-important activist and occasional actor Mark Ruffalo called the decision “A cowardly act by a cruel, vindictive and heartless administration intent on tearing at the very fabric of the American dream.”
Lin Manuel Miranda of Hamilton fame said, “Okay. The Bad Man continues to do bad.” Presumably that was intended for his English-challenged readers.
Actress Piper Perabo asked her fans to come and protest at the Trump Tower with her. It's not known how many fans she actually has or if any decided to join her.
Michael Moore tweeted, “Devoid of empathy or compassion. . .end it. Now,” said the man who spews hate at white Americans on a daily basis.
Josh Gad, from the animated Frozen, fretted that the U.S. is “barrelling down a very ugly path right now. How many people must be blocked, deported & banned before we say enough?” The answer, Josh? When everyone here illegally is gone. They're welcome to apply again legally.
Newsbusters notes that other famous, and some not-so-famous, virtue-signaling wealthy critics included Mia Farrow, Van Jones, Don Cheadle, Zoe Kazan,Yvette Nicole Brown and Queen Latifah.
