In a Tweet related to the current impeachment inquiry in the U.S. House of Representatives, Wright shared a side by side gif of Donald Trump and Charles Manson’s facial reactions.
He captioned the tweet writing, “Happy Halloween, I guess, folks.”

This tweet was in reaction to a video of California Republican Congressman Devin Nunes delivering a speech on the House floor. In the speech, Nunes stated, “What we’re seeing among Democrats on the Intelligence Committee down in the SCIF right now is like a cult. … These are a group of people loyally following their leader as he bounces from one outlandish conspiracy theory to another. And the media are the cult followers.”
This is not out of character for Wright. In early October, Wright took to Twitter to write, “Impeachment this corrupt lowlife clown” in reference to President Donald Trump.
America’s first Civil War fought to prevent southern states from destroying the union to keep black men, women & children enslaved.
The second fought over Donald fucking Trump?
We really would be the most ignorant people on the planet.
Impeachment this corrupt lowlife clown.

*Impeach this corrupt lowlife clown…too ignorant to realize that if he’d worked toward an infrastructure package and unified, he wouldn’t have to sell out his country and extort a foreign leader in an attempt to stay in office and avoid the coming state-level criminal charges.
