Hollywood leftists respond to Soleimani's death by attacking America

By Andrea Widburg

Hollywood has distinguished itself during the Trump era by flinging itself headlong into high-altitude Trump Derangement Syndrome.  With news that President Trump ordered the targeted assassination of one of the world's most prolific terrorists when the latter landed on Iraqi soil, leftist Hollywood celebrities have reacted predictably.

The award for most over-the-top reaction has to go to Rose McGowan, who gave Iran a groveling apology.  In true Hollywood fashion, she called America under President Trump "a terrorist regime," an interesting point from a woman who's been unfazed by Iran's deadly contempt for its own citizens and its brutal repression of women and homosexuals:

When challenged on her pro-Iranian, anti-American sentiments, McGowan doubled down (language warning):

So far, Michael Moore has had lots to say or, rather, to show, because he's opted for imagery over words.  Moore tweeted out an American flag bathed in Iran green, which was undoubtedly a response to Trump's single tweet immediately after the attack, showing only an American flag:

As Ilhan Omar did, Moore put out a tweet reminding everyone of Bill Clinton's famous "wag the dog" military strike, something Clinton did to take the heat off his domestic political troubles:

And Moore closed (so far) by implying that America, which has a military presence in or engages in military cooperation with countries afraid of Iran, is so dangerous that Soleimani's terrorist actions were righteous:

Alyssa Milano, showing her fealty to the Democrat primary candidates, retweeted their pronouncements on the targeted strike, all of which echoed Rep. Chris Murphy to the effect that America should never kill bad guys because other bad guys might get mad:

Several celebrities were very excited that President Trump, in 2011, predicted that Obama would start a war with Iran to get re-elected.  Alyssa Milano, who can always be counted on to come out against Trump, was one of those:

Mark Hamill jumped on that train, too:

As did Debra Messing:

So did Michael Moore:

Patton Oswalt, another loud Hollywood Leftist, also retweeted generally angry, anti-American content.  He opted to resurrect an old trope from early in the Iraq era about chickenhawks sending young Americans to die.

Debra Messing piled on with her own retweet:

Rob Reiner started the day by retweeting Connecticut's Sen. Chris Murphy (D), who pretty much set the tone for most Democrats, which is something to the effect that Soleimani deserved to die, but now we're all going to die:

He followed by throwing in a dig at Trump:

The Hollywood left never disappoints.  Because it's still early in California as this post goes up, we can expect that Hollywood celebrities will provide us with more amusement today as they make other over-the-top pronouncements about President Trump's decisive response to Iran's targeted attack against America.
