Social media erupted after Avengers director Joss Whedon attacked President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and compared his wife, Ivanka Trump, to a dog. “Hey, keep your eyes on this fu*king prize too. He’s a Voldemort in training,” Whedon wrote on Twitter Tuesday, sharing a photo of Jared Kushner standing next to Trump in the Oval Office.
“Unlike the Pekingese he married under, can play the long game,” Whedon wrote, comparing Ivanka to the dog breed.
Social media users didn’t hesitate to call the director out for his attacks on President Trump’s children.
Some users pointed out what they called Whedon’s hypocrisy in attacking Ivanka Trump; the director is a self-described feminist.
Shortly after Trump’s victory in November, Whedon said Trump cannot “cannot be allowed a term in office.”
“It’s not about 2018. It’s about RIGHT NOW,” he wrote.
The writer-producer has also used social media to attack other members of the Republican party.
Earlier this month, Whedon wrote on Twitter that he hoped House Speak Paul Ryan would be killed in a gruesome way.
“Violence solves nothing. I want a rhino to fuck @SpeakerRyan to death with its horn because it’s FUNNY, not because he’s a #GOPmurderbro,” he wrote.
Whedon also posted a meme mocking Nicole Kidman as being a “puppet for Trump” after the actress said Americans need to rally around Trump.
During the campaign, the director launched the Save the Day PAC, which supported Hillary Clinton’s failed presidential bid. In September, he gathered together cast members of his Avengers films, including Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Mark Ruffalo and Don Cheadle, for an anti-Trump star-studded political PSA.

Does he have to be such a stereotype?
Whedon is talented, but his ongoing display of vitriolic lunacy has ensured I’ll never patronize any of his productions again.
no more avengers movies for me I can live with out them...and his direction!
What do you mean by that?
“Pekingese” “Voldemort”
Antisemitic dog whistles, says me. Call him on it.
Probably another opportunity for us on the right to spend our money elsewhere, but let him and his ilk know we are doing that.
Joss Whedon is descending into self-parody.
SAG is the worst HATE group going today. Leftist actors ooze bile, venom, and hate from every pore.
Sad that the guy responsible for such a great series like Firefly has gone full libtard. I guess all the adulation has stopped up his critical faculties.
I wonder if he has a secret drug/alcohol problem.
They make “FAG” from team America look normal.
Whedon sounds like he’s drunk, high, schizophrenic, or all of the above.
They all are brain dead... I swear... How much of the crap they do is honest vs just positioning themselves for their next gig, or trying to draw attention to stay relevant, I don’t know.. but the whole lot of them are just certifiable.
You are one of the few guys who make movies with clever dialog so I am reluctant to do so but I will do it.
Looks like the Secret Service will be accepting new applications
This is so disappointing since I am a huge fan of Buffy, Firefly and Serenity. I wish he would apologize and just shut up about political matters.
So. Sick. Of. Hollywood.
I just read his bio...he ALWAYS has been a faaaaaaaar lefty idiot with a foul mouth and a mean streak ( when talking about ANY GOPer )and damned lucky that his grandfather and father were born before him. Yes, he’s trading on his family’s previous T.V. & movie connections.
Just another mentally ill, private schooled, big city brat
Ever notice how all these pampered big talkin sissy boys never had to mix it up with the common folk?
