So much for the rumored intersectionality and tolerance of the left. It turns out they can be racist and sexist when someone disagrees with them.
Actor and noted liberal Tom Arnold went on the offensive on Sunday after rapper Kanye West tweeted his support for conservative commentator Candace Owens from Turning Point USA. He stated that “I love the way Candace Owens thinks,” causing controversy among the liberal Hollywood and Black Lives Matter circles. Perez Hilton, Shaun White, and Tom Arnold all went after both West and Owens, but it was Arnold who attacked Owens the most.
After a series of tweets blasting the Turning Point USA communications director, Arnold told Owens, whom he called an “insane alt-right race pimp,” to “suck racist d**k” since she “insulted actual hero Shaun King.”
Ouch. So much for tolerance. Looks like racism and misogyny scored a win with the left today.
Later, the actor tried to defend himself (as well as Hilton and King) by saying that all three of them were in fact ethnic enough to be able to criticize Owens. Retweeting a follower who said “Perez is Cuban and Shawn (sic) King is Black,” Arnold wrote, “And I’m a Jew...it’s National brotherhood week!”
He also decided to go after all conservatives in general, tweeting that Owens was trying to engage the “Breitbart @Anon #RoseanneBarr #FoxandFriends mouth breathers.”
Even after Owens fought back, pointing out the irony of a liberal white man attacking a black woman for her political beliefs, Arnold kept up the disgusting tirade. He wrote: “@RealCandanceO Good luck glomming onto @kanyewest His family already told him you were a phony & fraud. A former democratic bad actress doing video bits to get on TV anyway she can. Enjoy it now. You're so inauthentic even your white power fans are going to get bored with you.”
Perez Hilton also went after Kanye West and Candace Owens in response to the rapper’s support. According to Twitchy, he wrote “So over you, Kanye!” When Chad Felix Greene tried to engage the celebrity blogger on Twitter, Hilton tried to save face by saying, “I never said I was mocking her for her race. Don’t put words into my mouth or project your own beliefs onto me.” Greene told him that by insulting her intelligence and trying to mock her videos on race, Hilton was in fact violating his own liberal standards.
Greene told him to “Own your bigotry here.”
