Trump: NBC Should Fire “Racist” Actress Debra Messing

The Hill reports:

President Trump is suggesting NBC should fire Debra Messing after the “Will & Grace” actress said the names of the commander in chief’s donors who attended a fundraiser should be publicly identified.

Trump tweeted that if Messing were Roseanne Barr, she would have already been fired despite having higher ratings for her program. Barr was fired by ABC last year for a racist tweet about Valerie Jarrett, the former Obama White House aide.

Messing had encouraged The Hollywood Reporter in a tweet last week to publish the names of attendees at an upcoming fundraiser for Trump in Beverly Hills after the news outlet first reported on the event in late August.

Bad “actress” Debra The Mess Messing is in hot water. She wants to create a “Blacklist” of Trump supporters, & is being accused of McCarthyism. Is also being accused of being a Racist because of the terrible things she said about blacks and mental illness. If Roseanne Barr….

….said what she did, even being on a much higher rated show, she would have been thrown off television. Will Fake News NBC allow a McCarthy style Racist to continue? ABC fired Roseanne. Watch the double standard!

So happy that the president of the United States is obsessing over an actress while our country’s infrastructure is falling apart, our trade war with China is a mess and our country is about to get hit by a hurricane (not Alabama though.)

A so-called U.S. president is hate tweeting on an actress. How bizarre can it get.
