Neo-nazis are bad. Trump is also bad. Therefore, Trump and neo-nazis must go together. This is the kind of logic liberal celebrities have been employing over the past two days.
On August 13, comedian Michael Ian Black (who plays President George H.W. Bush on Wet Hot American Summer) joined the extremely vocal mob of famous has-beens on Twitter and blamed Trump for the “Unite the Right” march in Charlottesville, Virginia.
But Black dove into a more graphic accusation than his peers, stating that “Metaphorically speaking, yesterday the President stood in the middle of 5th Ave and shot somebody. Her name was Heather Heyer.”
After some of his followers rebuked him for this grossly inaccurate and wildly unjust statement, Black refused to take back his words, tweeting out his statement to his 2 million followers again as a “clarification.”
Black is well known for saying horrific things over Twitter, using the 2015 Paris terrorist attack as a medium for gun control activism, accusing the NRA of being a terrorist organization, and of exploiting his status as a children’s author by writing a vulgar Child’s First Book of Trump in 2016.
While other people offered their sympathy and condolences to Heyer’s family, and condemned the two movements that gathered in violence and hate in Charlottesville, Black stayed true to form and shamefully used the death of a human being to garner support for his own personal brand of activism.
