Actor and comedian Jim Carrey is under fire for tweeting an original painting that appears to depict White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders in an unflattering light.
Certainly, the caption of Carrey’s tweet provides sufficient reason to believe that his portrait portrays Sanders, as it reads: “This is the portrait of a so-called Christian whose only purpose in life is to lie for the wicked. Monstrous!”

One person who took to Twitter to slam Carrey’s painting was Sanders’ father, former Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee.
Pathetic BULLY, sexist, hater, bigot & “Christaphobe” @jimcarrey attacks @PressSec for her faith; what would be hypocritical Hollywood reaction if he called someone a “so-called Muslim” or “so-called Jew?” #classlessCarrey https://t.co/HCqHoER0Ru

Other conservatives shared the former Arkansas governor’s sentiments.
Hey @JimCarrey – @PressSec is not a “so-called” Christian. She IS a Christian. And there’s nothing more beautiful than a follower of our Lord. https://t.co/Hav2Mc8KIH

Are you the Jim Carrey who was a comedian back in the ’90s?

In the last week Jim Carrey and Hillary Clinton have both attacked women. Hate and intolerance has taken over the left. I’m so disgusted daily by the constant hypocrisy. Call these people out! Supreme court #SCOTUS Air Force One Executive Order

Jim Carrey is the poster boy for the modern liberal man. Failed, broken, and mentally unstable. His movie career has disintegrated! Carrey now spends his days insulting conservative women like. @PressSec Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Mental illness is a common trait among leftists!

Others voiced appreciation for the painting and questioned why some individuals were more offended by satirical artwork than actual mistruths being uttered by a federal employee who the American people are supposed to be able to trust.
Remember when Jim Carrey got all that credit for calling a Fashion Week red carpet “meaningless” and then he released an entire documentary about how we didn’t appreciate his performance as Andy Kaufman enough?

Jim Carrey under fire from Trump loyalists who really don’t like it when famous people say rude things about others.

Trump: I moved on her like a bitch. But I couldn’t get there…when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab ’em by the pussy. You can do anything. Fox News; Locker room talk! @JimCarrey: I made a painting. Fox News: ACTOR JIM CARREY GOES TOO FAR!

“Jim Carrey went too far by painting Sarah Sanders” said Fox News who played Dude Looks Like A Lady when reporting on Chelsea Manning, blamed hoodies for the death of Trayvon Martin, and called Barack and Michelle Obama fist bumping a “terrorist fist jab.”

Conservatives are more mad at an actor who played the Grinch than our President who behaves like the Grinch. You can’t excuse inexcusable conduct by Donald Trump for 3 years then expect us to take your outrage over a painting by Jim Carrey seriously.

Carrey himself seized upon the controversy to promote another one of his paintings satirizing the Trump administration titled, “The Wicked Witch of the West Wing and Putin’s Flying Monkeys.” Previous artwork by the Carrey has taken swipes at Trump himself, as well as his former chief strategist Steve Bannon, former Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and numerous other Republicans in Congress.
The actor said he finds it “cathartic” to paint Trump in an interview with W Magazine. Carrey also argued that, “It’s not a battle I want to fight, but you’ve got to play a part. Every day at some point there’s pretty much a peaceful acceptance of what’s going on in my life right now, but I do also tune in to the Republican—what could I call on it?—war on logic, intelligence and compassion at least once a day.”
Carrey has demonstrated consistently left-wing views on issues like gun control, with his position on that issue prompting him to denounce himself from his own movie “Kick-Ass 2” following the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. He has also promoted the anti-vaxxer movement, beliefs which have also courted controversy.
