Actor and comedian Michael Rapaport took to Twitter to warn his followers to “never forget” that first lady Melania Trump and President Trump are “a hooker and a con man.”
Rapaport has appeared in over sixy films including The War at Home and True Romance.
He is also known for roles on television series including Friends, Justified, and Prison Break.
Rapaport’s “warning” came as a meme with an image of Donald and Melania Trump. He tweeted “NEVER FORGET” in all caps.
The phrase “never forget” became cemented in the American vocabulary after the 9/11 terror attacks in New York.
The phrase was meant to remind Americans that “This will never be forgotten. Everything changes after this.” It is supposed to be a reminder to cherish and fight for freedom against oppressive forces.
Rapaport, however, appeared to have perverted the phrase to make a political statement.
See his tweet, including an older profanity-laced tweet, below:
While some celebrities have broken Democratic ranks to speak out in support of President Trump, there are still many that appear content to undermine the fight against COVID-19.
Rather than uniting behind the effort to slow and stop the pandemic, many liberal celebrities would prefer to bash and insult the president instead.
The Washington Examiner has more details on Rapaport's attack on the first couple:
Actor and comedian Michael Rapaport shared a meme warning Twitter followers to "never forget" that first lady Melania Trump and President Trump are “a hooker and a con man.”
The actor of True Romance and The War at Home fame tweeted a meme Saturday with the message, “Just a reminder, a hooker and a con man are running America,” accompanied by a picture of the president and first lady. Rapaport tweeted along with the meme the warning, "Never forget."
But that's not all, the Washington Examiner also reports that in a previous tweet, Rapaport went on to insult the entire first family.
“Why don’t you send your f---ing son, dick stain Donald Trump Jr., big-toothed Eric Trump, little f---ing Barron, f---ing Ivanka, junkyard Jared — let them go out there and test the f---ing waters,” Rapaport said. “Let them see if shit is sweet. Let them take the cars, the trains, the buses, the Amtraks, let them play in the park. And if everything’s good after five days of them playing out there in the streets, we’ll all go back to [work].”
“F---ing pig — the real people want to get back to work ASAP? You never worked a f---ing day in your life. You’re worried about the next four years? You need to be worried about the next four days, motherf---er. You need to be worried about the next four weeks — the next four months, you motherf---er. You are the worst possible motherf---er we could have in power, making decisions right now," he said.
Yikes.
If that's not a clear example of Trump Derangement Syndrome, we don't know what is.
Disagreeing with the president on issues of policy is one thing, but attacking his family on personally vicious terms should never be acceptable.
When Trump says he is putting "America First," that includes all Americans, Democrats and Republicans alike.
Many celebrities choose to use their social media platforms to promote good in the world.
Other celebrities focus on self-centered posts that promote their careers or create a glorified image of their own status.
Michael Rapaport, however, appears to have turned his entire Twitter account into a hatefest of President Trump.
Nearly every other Tweet is a profanity-filled attack on the president.
Conservatives in Hollywood are typically quiet and afraid to talk about politics for fear of repercussions to their careers.
Liberal celebrities, on the other hand, appear to be able to make offensive or flat-out inappropriate remarks without any consequences.
Breitbart reports that Rapaport previously called Melania a "dumb fkc" and "dumb animal:
Actor Michael Rapaport viciously attacked First Lady Melania Trump on Sunday, calling her a “dumb animal,” in response to her coronavirus PSA in which Mrs. Trump suggested safety tips and said “while many of us are apart, we are all in this together.”
Look at this DUMB FKC!!! She thinks this is SEXXXY TIME? Dumb FKC! You dumb animal @FLOTUS, Michael Rapaport said in his rant posted to Twitter on Sunday.
“MAGA!!!! Look at what you’ve done!!!” he said.
Mrs. Trump appeared in a public service announcement in an effort to inform the public about the coronavirus, encouraging America that together we will get through these tough times and adding that “this is not how we’ll live forever.”
“Today I want to speak with you about coronavirus and what it means for you and your family,” the first lady says in the one-minute video. “While changes need to be made now, this is not how we’ll live forever. Our children will return to school, people will return to work, we will gather at the places of worship, concerts, and sporting events again.”
While President Trump has been working diligently to protect Americans' lives and livelihoods, the First Lady has been working to inspire Americans with hope for the future.
This stands in sharp contrasts to Rapaport's insulting and highly divisive tweets.
How very adult of you, Michael.
