Celebrities reacted with glee Tuesday after former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort was found guilty of eight charges and Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen pled guilty to campaign finance violations.
“With each new development, Trump’s PR strategy looks more and more pathetic. The stench of fear is starting to emanate from 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. And just like Watergate, once that putrid odor wafts up to Capital Hill, the once spineless GOP, will slowly abandon the Liar,” fumed actor-director Rob Reiner.

Meanwhile, Cher celebrated, tweeting, “I’m So excited about Paul Manafort’s Guiltily Verdict I Could &‼️”

Verdict I Could &‼️— Cher (@cher) August 21, 2018
The charges that Manafort was convicted on, and the charges he still faces, do not have anything to do with the Trump campaign. Neither case seems to be related at all to “Russian collusion.”
Nevertheless that didn’t stop some of Hollywood’s most anti-Trump stars from celebrating the Paul Manafort and Michael Cohen news.
Below is a roundup of all the Hollywood hate.

Our president and all his men (and one daughter) are such tawdry, off-the-rack conmen. By this end of this thing, we’re going to find out Barron was stealing quarters from the White House vending machine.

Anyone think it’s weird Manafort didn’t flip on Trump? He could go away for life.

After the Manafort verdicts and the Cohen plea, if Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan still have an ounce of dignity left, if they still feel any love and loyalty for America, they must call on Donald Trump to resign today. #HeMustResign

I’d like to remind @JohnCornyn that Michael Cohen (the guy who just pleaded guilty) has reportedly stated that Trump was aware of the Russian govts crimes and tried to benefit from them. https://t.co/yt9nxpqtWU
