Disney’s The Lion King actor Billy Eichner has deleted a tweet where he wanted “Trump and all MAGA lunatics to burn in Hell.”
Eichner tweeted out that he wanted President Trump “and all MAGA lunatics to burn in Hell” following the reports of the attack against Jussie Smollett.
Eichner has since deleted that tweet, but a follow up tweet blaming President Trump and “MAGA culture” for the attack still remains. He states, “Trump and MAGA culture have encouraged and emboldened these types of attacks and that is truly f****** unforgivable.”
Time will tell if Jussie’s attackers shouted MAGA or not but there is no part of me that doubts that Trump and MAGA culture have encouraged and emboldened these types of attacks and that is truly fucking unforgivable.

Billy Eichner, who is probably most well known for voicing Mr. Ambrose in Bob’s Burgers and playing Craig Middlebrooks on Parks and Recreation has taken shots at Mike Pence’s wife, Karen Pence. He’s also referred to President Trump as a “b****” on multiple occasions.

He also stated that “Trump supporters have destroyed the heart and soul of America.” He would go on to say, “There is blood on the hands of every Trump supporter. Backwards, ignorant, racist and unforgivable.”
Trump supporters have destroyed the heart and soul of America. At this point he’s less of a threat than the Congressman and voters that continue to support him. There is blood on the hands of every Trump supporter. Backwards, ignorant, racist and unforgivable. https://t.co/oeuGwaCzhJ
