Hollywood celebrities flew into a paroxysm of rage on Saturday after the Senate acquitted former president Donald Trump of inciting the Capitol Hill riots of January 6.
Anti-Trump celebrities including Alyssa Milano, Rob Reiner, Bette Midler, and Rosie O’Donnell led the collective meltdown. “It is a sad day in America when only 7 republicans have the patriotism and integrity to convict a tyrant,” Milano tweeted. She wasted no time in declaring that Trump must now be taken to court.

Since the senate won’t do its job and convict the traitor Donald Trump, the courts will have to.

The stars aimed much of their venom at Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), saying that the former majority leader “has no soul.”
As Breitbart News reported, the final Senate tally was 53 guilty versus 43 not guilty, falling short of the two-thirds majority needed to convict Trump. In the end, seven Republican senators voted to convict the former president — Sens. Burr, Cassidy, Collins, Murkowski, Romney, Sasse, and Toomey.
Rob Reiner blasted the 43 Republicans, claiming that they had acquitted Trump of “the worst violation of the Constitution by a president in our nation’s history.”
Bette Midler told the country to “prepare to have your hearts broken” just minutes before Trump’s acquittal became a reality.
Rosie O’Donnell, who has long been Trump’s arch rival, was in fact actually heartbroken.
it tells the world our own government doesn’t support the democracy #notGUILTY my fat ass #heartbroken #AMERICA

John Cusack attacked the 43 Republicans who voted to acquit Trump, calling them “fascists.”
Some celebrities called the 43 Republicans “traitors,” including actors Don Cheadle and Adam Goldberg.
Actress Mia Farrow tweeted that Trump’s acquittal is “sad for our country.”
Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi declared that Republicans “can’t stand up for the American people because they can’t even stand up for themselves.”
Imagine if your boss sent a mob of ppl to your workplace to kill you, who beat up 140 cops & 5 people died.
And when you had the chance to hold him accountable you were too scared.
Repubs can't stand up for the American people because they can't even stand up for *themselves*

Borat director Larry Charles declared that Trump is “overwhelmingly guilty” by “any legal standard.”

HBO’s Westworld actor Jimmi Simpson said all senators who voted to acquit Trump must be put on a list. “They love Trump more than the United States of America,” he tweeted.
Other stars ganged up on Sen. McConnell, including Albert Brooks, Patricia Arquette, Jim Gaffigan, and Wanda Sykes. McConnell blasted Trump in a speech following the Senate verdict, despite voting to acquit him.
Mitch McConnell is a snake. Don’t ever play Among Us with that sneaky mufucka.

“After acquitting Trump, Mitch McConnell is giving the most passionate guilty speech I’ve ever heard. Rod Serling called. He wants you out of the Twilight Zone.”
“Is McConnell now trying to convince the historians he has no soul?”
“Mitch. You can’t have it both ways. You just admitted he was responsible, but your vote will last historically in infamy.”
The West Wing star Bradley Whitford claimed the Trump attempted to “overthrow an election.”
According to @LeaderMcConnell @LindseyGrahamSC, and the vast majority of Republicans, Impeachment is a limited tool reserved for presidents who engage in extramarital affairs, not those who attempt to overthrow an election and kill a bunch of cops in the process.
