Jim Carrey is enduring a social media skewering after sharing a portrait which appears to be White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
If something is  » smokin’, » perhaps it’s from the heat Jim Carrey received after sharing a portrait online that bears resemblance to White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
The Kidding actor shared the artwork on Twitter Saturday with a scathing caption.
« This is the portrait of a so-called Christian whose only purpose in life is to lie for the wicked. Monstrous! » he wrote.
A rep for Carrey did not immediately respond to USA TODAY’s request for comment. However, the Associated Press reports that a spokeswoman for Carrey confirmed he is the artist of the painting, but would not say if Sanders is the subject.
Twitter users knocked Carrey for his use of the word « Christian. »
« We all sin, » one user tweeted in response. Another shared a meme of someone lifting the lid of a trashcan. « Hey look celebrity opinions, » the photo’s text read. One Twitter user shared a photo of Carrey, writing « And this is the picture if a has-been, who hasn’t put out a decent movie in 15 years. »
Carrey has previously shared unflattering artistic works of Sanders’ boss, President Trump. Last August, Carrey tweeted an image of Trump at the helm of a boat that was sinking into a sea of « lies. »
« WHAT WILL IT TAKE for the GOP to throw this madman overboard? » Carrey captioned the tweet . « HOW LOW MUST WE SINK before REPS become patriotic? »
In November, Carrey posted a photo of what appeared to be Trump kissing the behind of Russian President Vladimir Putin. « With Trump in the WH, Putin may win the 3rd World War without firing a shot, » Carrey wrote at the time. « #PuckerUpPOTUS »
During a Q&A with W published in September, Carrey said painting Trump felt cathartic. « I think no one can really escape that aspect of life at this moment — the feeling of loss of control, » he said.
