Hollywood liberals are turning on each other, and it would be funny if it weren’t so tragically absurd.
Actress Debra Messing blamed Susan Sarandon for Hillary Clinton’s loss, saying her decision to support Green Party candidate Jill Stein tipped the election in Donald Trump’s favor.
Sarandon had vocally supported Bernie Sanders during the primaries, and refused to support Clinton, saying the former Secretary of State accepted donations from foreign governments and waffled on supporting a $15 minimum wage.
Messing went off on an unhinged Twitter rant, saying Sarandon should now be “held accountable” for Clinton’s defeat and for suggesting the country give our newly-elected president a chance.
She encouraged ppl to vote for Trump over HRC on a news interview. Said she was more "dangerous." She needs to be held accountable. https://t.co/8XYWP5DzXl

Some Twitter fans immediately slammed Messing, saying her suggestion that Sarandon be “held accountable” sounded deranged, fascist and intolerant.
Susan Sarandon is glad Hillary lost, says libs made rape threats against her for not supporting her
Held accountable?? It's called the First Amendment. It's called freedom of conscience. Fascist much? https://t.co/LGUNlGuLkt

Messing then backpedaled, but continued to rail against Sarandon for not supporting Clinton.
“I loathe ppl who act recklessly & r self satisfied while ppl hurt,” Messing tweeted with ironic deflection.
Not suggstd any "actions" 2 be taken. This is personal accountability. I loathe ppl who act recklessly & r self satisfied while ppl hurt. https://t.co/vmgJBhCC6r

In the end, Sarandon body-slammed Messing on Twitter by pointing out that most of Hollywood had rallied for Clinton and she still lost.
“To all those who find blaming me less painful than introspection, never knew I was this powerful,” Sarandon tweeted.
