Tough-talking actor Samuel L. Jackson wished President Donald Trump a happy birthday on Friday, but the Twitterverse took exception to the perceived anti-gay slurs in the message and laid their vengeance upon him.

Jackson’s tweet: “Must have been a party at The White House, Mitch, Paul, Rudy & others were spotted wearing knee pads & carrying these lined up outside. Happy Birthday.”

The tweet included an image of a product called “After Dick Mints” with the tagline “Going down?”

One Twitter user asked, “Did you and Joy Reid get hacked by the same person?” The reference is to the MSNBC host who had several homophobic posts on her blog, but claimed she was hacked.

Actor Adam Baldwin of the late, lamented TV show Firefly asked, “Gay shaming?” He later removed the tweet. Another user directed at tweet at Capital One, asking the credit card company whether they endorse the language from a spokesperson.

I’ll say this. Nobody can drop an F bomb better than Jackson.

WIKI-—Jackson campaigned in the 2008 Democratic Primary for Obama in Texarkana, Texas. He said: “Obama represents everything I was told I could be growing up. I am a child of segregation. When I grew up and people told me I could be president, I knew it was a lie. But now we have a representative... the American Dream is a reality. Anyone can grow up to be a president.”Jackson also said: “I voted for Barack because he was black. That’s why other folks vote for other people – because they look like them”.

Jackson compared his Django Unchained character, a villainous house slave, to black conservative Justice Clarence Thomas, saying that “I have the same moral compass as Clarence Thomas does”.

The Academy Award-nominated and BAFTA-winning actor lives here. He purchased the 6-bed, 8-bath, 11,738 sq ft home in June of 2000 for $8.35M from actress/comedian Roseanne Barr.

BOUGHT HIS HOUSE FROM ROSEANNE BARR!

HOW MANY HOMELESS PEOPLE? HOW MANY ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS IS SAMUEL JACKSON LETTING INTO HIS HOME?

THINK HE HAS A FENCE AROUND IT?

HOW ABOUT SOME GUNS? DOES SAM HAVE ANY GUNS ON HIS PROPERTY?

COME TO THINK OF IT, DOES HE EVEN THINK IT IS HIS PROPERTY? MAYBE IT SHOULD JUST BE COMMUNAL PROPERTY...

Are folks upset that Jackson compared Trump and other Republicans to gay people? Or is it the other way around?

[DesertRhino]

I just feel like he won’t back down.

It is the “phoboc” part of the liberal epithet that pisses me off. Dunnow what the Latin for “revolted” would be, but that is the better term.

The angry negro is also the spokesman for the Atlanta Falcons - Rise up campaign.

Thanks conservative98.

These trashy, vulgar actors are an embarrassment. Most of them are dumb as rocks.

“Why is Hollyweird so upset?” Hollywood is upset because Trump, as a celebrity, was supposed to be a leftist who patronized regular people, not a populist/conservative who relates to regular people. Other celebrities can't forgive him for those things.

I don’t find I2 interesting because it looks a lot the same as the first, they just switch Bob and Helen when it comes to the one with the new job.

If you watch the movie “Hateful Eight” you’ll know why he said that. This is his attempt to give a bad movie with bad acting and a bad director some edgy glow, maybe a re-consideration by the critics, a second look... but rest assured, and look as many times as you want if you can stomach it, it’s a bad movie, with bad acting and a bad director.

Homogrossed.

Homodisgusted.

Would be actually correct.

[AnotherUnixGeek]

Always a riot when some liberal gets hoist on his own petard for crossing one of the many, many lines liberals like to set down.

Looks like a real tea bagger.

“Gay shaming?”

What greater shame could there possibly be?

[NetAddicted]

Looked up After Dick mints, and they exist. I found nothing wrong with his tweets. Maybe homosexuals steal bowls of them, that have been placed in bathrooms, which is why they’re so upset.

How does SLJ know about after dick mints?
