Hollywood Unhinged: ‘The GOP Has Become a Party of Traitors’

Hollywood stars were out in force on Thursday throwing in with the fake news anti-Trump media, currently at war with the White House.

Most of the day’s celebrity thought leader hot-takes came in reaction to President Trump’s insistence Thursday that the “fake news … that is the enemy of the people!”

CNN’s chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta repeatedly tried and failed to get White House press secretary Sarah Sanders to say the press was not the “enemy of the people,” which led to an orgy of celebrity pearl-clutching.

Poor Barbra Streisand doesn’t realize that most Americans don’t trust American’s establishment media because of fake news.

Donald Trump wants the US to be an authoritarian state without a free press. Fortunately most Americans can see through his act. https://t.co/dakZ5PSvZP

It’s all about Russia to Kathy Griffin.

Don’t tell reporters what to ask @PressSec – this isn’t Russia…as much as you want it to be https://t.co/b64TMKll6a

Actor Ike Barinholtz had a completely civil thought.

Author Stephen King wants the press to not report on what the president says.

I think it would be nice if all the news media got together and refused to report or discuss Blabbermouth Don’s tweets for just one week. Take away the publicity hound’s oxygen. Think of the relief. Think of the QUIET.

This Is Us producer Ken Olin shared this unhinged history lesson.

At the end of his presidency Nixon wandered the halls of the White House in the middle of the night talking to the portraits of dead Presidents.
At the end of Trump’s presidency he’s tweeting in the middle of the night to a North Korean dictator.
That pretty much sums it up. https://t.co/jO1nCiInrI

Actor Josh Malina is here for the fake news.

Stunning. The White House Press Secretary refuses to acknowledge that the press isn't the enemy of the people. This administration is such trash, top to bottom. https://t.co/QubmCu7Mvb
