STFU Susan!

Actor Debra Messing blasted Susan Sarandon on Twitter yesterday over comments the actor made about President Donald Trump during an interview with Variety.

On Wednesday, the outspoken Messing launched a Twitter tirade condemning Sarandon over her remarks interpreted as giving Trump "credit" for encouraging women and minorities to run for elected office.

“STFU SUSAN. Oh yes, PLEASE let’s give Trump CREDIT. I mean how else are you able to walk out on the street. Convince yourself that that this CATASTROPHE of a President who you said was better than HRC IS NOT ripping children away from parents seeking asylum, holding children INDEFINITELY in internment camps with their new policy, DESTROYING all attempts to protect our environment (yes the water you properted [sic] to care about), endangered animals, taking away women’s ACCESS to health care and legal abortion, trying to block POC from Voting with extreme,”

“And LAUD the effect Trump has had,” Messing continued. “Out of DESPERATION & PANIC for the DESTRUCTION of the Soul of our country. But you don’t want to look at THAT part of the equation. Because then you’d have to admit you were dead WRONG running around bellowing that HRC was more dangerous than Trump.”

Done with Sarandon. I used to admire her.

Not anymore.

ETA: She even ruined "Rocky Horror Picture Show" for me. I can't watch anything she's done without getting pissed off. Thanks, Sarandon. Jackass.

I've had professional associations with her going back a decade. She was friendly and kept in touch with some long after filming was wrapped.

But her bullshit, phony liberal-stereotype action of supporting Trump over Hillary severed those connections. She is why liberals sometimes get a bad name. Her "principles" vary depending on what she perceives as "cool".

She's now the quintessential Trump supporter---a hypocrite without a backbone.

Sarandon is more like Trump than anything...she lies and makes up shit to fit her narrative, lacks empathy and has no capacity to even see how WRONG she was and to apologize for what she said!!! She just keeps right at, just like Trump.....

I enjoy her at those times when she just acts and isn't insane.

I love Debra on all counts.

She doesn’t care who gets hurt in her crusade. She is Stalin without a country to rule.

Here she found a new way to erase Hillary - and in that she debased all of us. Per her, only 🐱 grabbing can "inspire" us.

She's not a woman of child bearing age. She's not a woman of color. She's not an immigrant. She can certainly afford the best health care, and when the water is no longer potable, she can have clean drinking water shipped to her multimillion dollar homes by the truckload.

Truth be told, she didn't sacrifice a thing, but she sure helped make things worse for the rest of us.

Fuck her!
