Steve Martin received backlash for a tribute he paid to Carrie Fisher on Twitter.
On Tuesday, the comic wrote in a since-deleted tweet, "When I was a young man, Carrie Fisher was the most beautiful creature I had ever seen. She turned out to be witty and bright as well."
Media outlets and fans immediately turned on the comedian saying Martins tweet had a sexist undertone.

Never apologize to SJW hacks, apologizing to their kind gives them more power.
I have loved Steve Martin since the 1970’s. He is funny, super-smart, handsome, hard working and talented to a fault. His novels are terrific! He plays a banjo like nobody’s business and the music he’s created these past few years has been exceptional!
He’ll never lose me as a fan. Never.
STFU, Snowflakes!
“Had Steve just switched the order of the two sentences hed have probably been ok.”
Something like: “I have never met such an intellectually stimulating woman as Carrie Fisher. Reasonable to look at too.”
The first thing you notice about a person when you see them is what they look like. It’s all you can intelligently comment on. Then, as you get to know them, you can comment on the other stuff.
What he said made perfect sense in the sane world of the right. The left is an insane world. Right is wrong, wrong is right. The bible actually prophesies about such a time.
It doesn’t end well.
What the hell is wrong with you Steve?
You did nothing wrong. It’s a wonder the Egyptians didn’t kill you in 1979.
Put your big boy pants back on.
Posts like yours are the icing on the FR cake.
Thank you for the laugh.
They can go into a closet and suck eggs.
We live in a destroyed social society that Obama has agitated. He gave the insane a wicked sense of entitlement.
That Steve Martin deleted the tweet is the real problem.
SM is old school like us. I still call beautiful women “hotties” or “hot”. These stupid liberals ruined everything.
I’ll never forget Steve’s touching tribute to Gilda Radner on SNL. He was definitely fighting back the tears.
She wore black boots while in the metal bikini? Uh. . . I don’t know if I ever noticed that before. Gee, how could I have missed that?
(Maybe because she was wearing a METAL BIKINI).
Steve believes in putting women on a pedestal.... high enough so you can look up her dress.
Guilty as charged!
A moving tribute which luckily lives on through reports of the hateful actions of others. Thanks SJW’s. I would have missed it were it not for your piling on him.
Uh oh A politically incorrect tweet. Could be a career killer in Hollywood, Academia or the Silicon Valley.
Plus, he did say, when he was a younge man.
It’s to bad he didn’t have the guts to tell the twitwits to get over themselves.
The libs were upset because Steve found a woman attractive and not a homo-trans-weirdo.
He also seems to keep his politics largely to himself, which is nice.
“Ill never forget Steves touching tribute to Gilda Radner on SNL. He was definitely fighting back the tears.”
Yes, here’s the video of that:
