There is a reason you always read the article before you get outraged about a news piece because there is less of a chance of you looking like an idiot. Actress Debra Messing went on a Twitter tirade against fellow progressive actress Susan Sarandon because she allegedly said something positive about Trump.
In a tweet sent out by Variety, the magazine conducted an interview with Sarandon in where President Trump was mentioned. The tweet sent out the quote from Susan saying “Donald Trump has, if anything, inspired more women and people of color to run for office.”

This did NOT go over well with Debra Messing. Messing blasted Sarandon in a series of tweets that can only be described as a meltdown.
STFU SUSAN. Oh yes, PLEASE let’s give Trump CREDIT. I mean how else are you able to walk out on the street. Convince yourself that that this CATASTROPHE of a President who you said was better that HRC IS NOT ripping children away from parents seeking asylum, holding children https://t.co/UuXLLdahaB

And LAUD the effect Trump has had. Out of DESPERATION & PANIC for the DESTRUCTION of the Soul of our country. But you don’t want to look at THAT part of the equation. Because then you’d have to admit you were dead WRONG running around bellowing that HRC was more dangerous than

Trump. Only a self righteous, narcissist would continue to spout off and not – in the face of Americans’ pain and agony -be contrite and apologize for your part in this catastrophe. But, you do you Susan.

Sarandon who is a Bernie Sanders supporter got massive heat in Hollywood for refusing to support Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election and instead opting to vote for Jill Stein. Now if you actually listen to Susan’s comments, it wasn’t pro-Trump. Sarandon said that Trump has unintentionally energized women and minorities to run for office. The credit she was giving Trump was not a positive one. Susan calmly responded to Debra with an even-keeled smackdown
Debs, before you get yourself all self-righteous try clicking on the video and listening to what I actually say, not @Variety's clickbait headline, which btw has no quotation marks. That’s a clue… https://t.co/pAIxBDNW5G
