Stars Celebrate Fourth by Cursing out Republicans
You’d think the Fourth of July might be the one day of the year where political differences are put aside for love of country.
Not for some Hollywood stars.
They spent the holiday weekend either cursing out the GOP, wishing President Donald Trump would soon be in jail or smiting anyone who dared to call themselves a Republican.
And, of course, one A-list director joined the fray in a way only he can.
“Glow” star Betty Gilpin shared a picture of her “Glow” character Liberty Belle doing a double “bird flip” on July 4th. The star of the new Netflix series explained that she intended the image to send a message to today’s Republicans.
She subsequently yanked the image and left this comment:
That escalated quickly! I don’t like Trump, I love you, but if you don’t love me you totallydon’t have2follow me. Now back to rosé in a can.

Lucas Neff, the star of the recently canceled comedy “Downward Dog,” is apparently proud of his GOP attack. The actor not only left up a series of scathing comments directed at every single Republican he kept doubling down on his attacks.
I get that u love your parents, but if they’re Republicans in 2017, they’re shitty ppl.

No more of this “I know good Republicans.” You don’t. They’re ok with being complicit with evil, horrible, hateful things. They’re bad ppl.

Republicans are not good people.

Ron Perlman took a more magnanimous approach. The “Sons of Anarchy” standout chose to curse out members of President Trump’s communication team, not ordinary GOP voters.
Hey Spicer. Huckabee whatever. KellyAnn Con-man. Stop telling me I don’t see what I see. Oh… and go fuck yourselves.

Bette Midler couldn’t get in the holiday spirit given the man currently residing in the White House. So she wished him a speedy trip … to the nearest penitentiary.
Not much feeling like 4th of July this year. Maybe I’ll wait until Trump goes to prison to celebrate “InThePenDance Day.”

Joss Whedon is renowned for his angry Twitter attacks against Republicans. For the Fourth, he decided to slam a key GOP member as ready, willing and able to murder millions.
No one ❤️s our obsession w/the news-wrestling twitter troll more than Yertle the Turd, who’ll quietly kill millions while our takes are hot pic.twitter.com/ydI86LsCp8

Not every celebrity took that approach, though. Many, like actor Gary Sinise, kept the message positive and hopeful.
May God continue to watch over all those serving in defense of this great country while we celebrate our Independence Day. pic.twitter.com/8lWS766uIU
