Actor John Cusack unloaded a profanity-filled Twitter rant against President Trump and his supporters after being called out for sitting through a salute to the military at Wrigley Field.
The liberal actor and producer fired back on social media after a photo was posted claiming he stayed “firmly seated” during a military salute at a Chicago Cubs game (Full picture below tweet).

**Warning for language ahead**
“I didn’t stand up for Boeing military salute – fast enough for some maga f**k – see? don’t even have taste not to brand weapons company all over score board,” the 52-year-old actor tweeted to the photo that quickly went viral and launched backlash against him.

Cusack rebutted the claim, tweeting later that he did, in fact, stand during the tribute, “just not on que – like an Obedient pet.”
I stood up- just not on que – like an Obedient pet
I made a film called war inc – watch that

The star of “2012” and “Better Off Dead” has been a vocal Trump critic and, besides calling for his impeachment regularly, has also frequently called the president, his supporters, and Republicans members of a “deathkkkult.”
The far-left actor met with Democrats last week in Washington, D.C. to attend their political stunt of marathon reading Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s 448-page report in the House Rules Committee meeting room.

Cusack, who is a Bernie Sanders supporter, reportedly called on Democrats to have Trump “removed from office.”
Why I’m with @BernieSanders @BreeNewsome: Many folks choose evil &consciously opt to violently oppress others. aren’t confused, aren’t unaware, aren’t waiting for you to tell them a story to melt heart & suddenly makes them empathize w/you. This is a power struggle. PERIOD.

But his decision not to stand – or delay standing – at the Cubs game unleashed a wave of criticism which prompted a tantrum by the actor.
Flag sucking halfwits – maga deathkkkult freaks
Being anti war – is pro troops – pro human –
RT @QsSupervisor: @johncusack By the way, trying to conflate appreciation for a private company that makes military hardware with “Love is Country” is SUPREMELY fucked up— John Cusack (@johncusack) May 23, 2019
Trump. Wraps himself in the us flag – literarily hugs it . You think he’s a patriot ?

A non protest / actually RT @eligit: @johncusack @QsSupervisor They worship a draft dodger who insults POWs, but freak out if someone silently protests at a sports event.
The irony is…next level.— John Cusack (@johncusack) May 23, 2019

Who owns it ? The gop ? Boeing ? Not in my world … RT @LisaNappyJappy: @johncusack How dare he.
The American flag I have that represents Patriotism & love of country is the flag that draped my father’s casket.??— John Cusack (@johncusack) May 23, 2019
Cusack’s classless rant only fueled more reactions on Twitter, where CWBChicago, the user who first posted the actor’s photo at the game, claimed he had been blocked.

Garbage. Another has been Hollywood liberal who thinks they are smarter than all and have no respect for anything

Why must all you actors continuously run your mouths in such disrespectful and hateful ways? Why should any of us even care what your opinion is? You play pretend for a living. It’s unfortunate that it makes you feel like you are important.
