Actor Anthony Mackie Faces Backlash for Endorsing Trump
Breitbart ^ | 19 Oct 2015 | Kipp Jones

Actor Anthony Mackie endorsed Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump Monday during a promotional interview with BET for his new film Our Brand Is Crisis, and was immediately vilified online for being black and embracing conservative ideas.

...

“I would 100 percent want to run Trump’s campaign. 100 percent,” Mackie said. “I mean, first that’ll be the best party ever when he won, and second, Trump’s an easy sell.

It wasn’t long before Mackie’s endorsement created a backlash on Twitter. Ira Madison, staff editor for New York Magazine, tweeted Monday:

Anthony Mackie always looks like he’d love to get called a n***** in a Quentin Tarantino movie

AC is not complaining about Trump’s age.

Instead, he is complaining about how FReepers dinged Fred on his age (which they did based on a quick Bing search I did) whereas nowadays hardly anyone is doing the same to Trump.

Looks like a new line of attack that your side can use against Trump here.

I think it's just all the things that apply to any other Republican, are reversed for Trump.

I liked Thompson, for what it's worth. He didn't seem old to me.

Precisely. I don't know his age, but he seems young. And so with all candidates: it is the perception that matters.

I actually liked Thompson, not just for who he was, but for his elderly-statesman persona, too. He seemed solid at the time.

The Left is not tolerant.
Planned Parenthood is not about women’s health.
Islam is not the Religion of Peace
And the pope is not Catholic.

Well, we know you weren't one of them since you didn't sign up until 2009.

Yes, but we had many here on Free Republic saying that Fred Thompson was to old to be president back in 2008. So why is Donald Trump at 70 not to old ? Me personally, I don’t care how old either of them are.

Energy. Trump has it. Fred didn't. That's why Fred was too old and Trump isn't.

Ira Madison needs to stop criticising what other people look like, and take a look in the mirror.

Ira Madison looks like he is wearing Dollar Tree reading glasses.

And the photography sucks. A public bathroom mirror selfie would have been an improvement.

Apparently Madison does not get paid well by his liberal plantation masters at New York Magazine or whoever publishes his trash talk.

Yeah, we all know what ira madison wants to call Anthony Mackie, but he doesn’t have the balls to do it.

He wrote some passive aggresive stuff on Twitter instead.

Weak, impotent, and hateful.
