Hollywood celebrities from Alyssa Milano to Alec Baldwin lashed out at President Donald Trump Tuesday during his State of the Union speech.
Activist Alyssa Milano kicked off the Hollywood hate train by lecturing America, “If realdonaldtrump is serious about uniting us, he should remember one crucial thing: walls divide. #StateOfTheHuman #WeWontGoBack #SOTU”

“RealDonaldTrump’s anti-choice attacks on reproductive freedom disproportionately hurt the poor and women of color,” actress Elizabeth Perkins said. “His racism carries through in his policies, and we must stand united against him. #StateOfTheWoman #WeWontGoBack.”

Not everyone in Hollywood watched the State of the Union, however. Mia Farrow opted to skip it, saying, “Trump will be attacking/insulting the most vulnerable people on earth tonight- refugees, immigrants, asylum seekers. I’m skipping SOTU2019.”

Actor Jeffrey Wright also didn’t tune in, but preemptively accused Trump of lying during his speech.
Have to miss the #SOTU. Wrong time zone. Gotta sleep. But I'll go with Joe Wilson's psychic prediction from across timelines. #WhatHeSaid 💤💤 pic.twitter.com/6qxTFm9BJD

Check out more Hollywood reactions.
I like a good number of the people dissecting the SOTU on CNN, but who gives a shit about any of this?
Trump is like the husband in an arranged marriage who actually wants to be loved.
We must move beyond Trump and strategize about what we will do when he is gone in 2020.— HABFoundation (@ABFalecbaldwin) February 6, 2019

A president intent on unity does not call for criminal investigations into his political opponents to distract from his own failures. #StateOfTheHuman #WeWontGoBack #SOTU

I would like to say that I was deeply moved by the President’s #SOTU comments on #ClimateChange, but (unless I missed it while blinking) there weren’t any.

I would make a good congressman because I have always invited people to parties based not on how much I want them there, but on how much I think they’ll annoy the other partygoers. #SOTU

Rapaport was referring to the fact that many female lawmakers wore white to Tuesday’s SOTU event to honor the 100th anniversary of women’s right to vote being passed in Congress.
