Actor Jim Carrey was slammed over the weekend after sharing a garish portrait of White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders.
“This is the portrait of a so-called Christian whose only purpose in life is to lie for the wicked. Monstrous!” Carrey wrote in his tweet, shared on Saturday.
And a lot of users found the portrait in poor taste.
“This is one more reason that I’m done with Hollywood. It’s ok to be mean and hurtful as long as it’s to someone you disagree with, right? Btw, this is a classic example of bullying. But again, it’s ok as long as it’s someone you disagree with, right?” said one user.
“Sarah is a beautiful person who has a real life! Real children who love her, real friends and family who respect her, and real values, and a God who loves her!” said another user.
Another user shared a portrait of Jim Carrey.
“This is the portrait of a so-called comedian, Jim Carrey. He used to be funny,” the user said.
Carrey has acted in dozens of movies but has been focusing more on his art lately.
“It’s all about that for me now—being completely involved, heart, mind, and soul. Sometimes it’s art, sometimes it’s performance, and sometimes it’s just talking to someone.”
Carry admitted he does a lot of “political cartoons,” and said it came because he felt a “loss of control” after President Donald Trump was elected.
“It’s not a battle I want to fight, but you’ve got to play a part,” he said. “Every day at some point there’s pretty much a peaceful acceptance of what’s going on in my life right now, but I do also tune in to the Republican—what could I call on it?—war on logic, intelligence, and compassion at least once a day.”
Sanders, meanwhile, said in an interview last year that she felt attacks on Christians had become okay while attacks on other faiths were immediately criticized.
“At some point we became a culture that said that was okay.”
