The Hollywood left went into full meltdown mode on Thursday as President Donald Trump took a victory lap just a day after the Senate voted to acquit him on the charge of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.
“Why’s this garbage minstrel show even being broadcast?” asked actor Jeffrey Wright, who also called President Trump “a self-pitying absolute bottom-feeding disgrace” and said it’s “unreal that people buy this ridiculousness.”

Actress Rosie O’Donnell was so shook that she asked MSNBC host Rachel Maddow to have her own network pull Trump’s presser off the air.

The Two and a Half Men and Supergirl star Jon Cryer declared “Republicans are now accomplices to Trump’s abuses of power.”

In his nationally broadcast speech, President Trump thanked the “great warriors” in the House and Senate who defended him against the Democrats’ impeachment campaign, apologized to his family for having to endure the grueling process, and tore into Sen. Mitt Romney for voting to convict Trump for abuse of power.
“Today is the day to celebrate these great warriors, right?” Trump said. “These are great warriors. They really fought hard for us.”
“We’ve all been through a lot together. We went through hell, unfairly,” said Trump, praising several Senators by name. “Mitch McConnell, I want to tell you, you did a fantastic job.”
The president also took shots at “failed presidential candidate” Sen. Romney, Nancy Pelosi, and Rep. Adam Schiff, saying the Democrats “have been stone cold crazy, we beat them once and we’ll beat them again.”
But it was apparent;ty all too much for some sensitive celebs.
Actor Adam Goldberg wanted to all end while actor Michael McKean was calling for (another) constitutional end to Trump’s presidency by way of invoking the 25th Amendment.
When is the orchestra gonna play him off?

There was this showstopper from actor George Takei.
I’m calling unsportsmanlike behavior. Election Penalty, 4 years.

And Michael Ian Black fired off this quip.
I always thought “The Emperor’s New Clothes” was a parable, not a history lesson.
