Liberal Hollywood came out in droves on social media to celebrate a New York jury’s decision to convict the former President Donald Trump on all 34 counts in his hush money criminal case.
Here are the stupidest tweets that celebrities shared with their millions of followers:
“We are all cheering for justice and that no one is above the law!” White Men Can’t Jump star John Leguizamo posted on social media, following the announcement of the guilty verdict.
“Trump can’t legally vote for himself now!” Leguizamo added in a follow-up tweet. “I love karma! It’s a good day for America!”

Trump made history on Thursday, by becoming the first former president convicted of a felony, when jurors found him guilty of falsifying business records related to a hush money payment his former fixer, Michael Cohen, made to adult film star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election.
Prosecutors claimed the payment was intended to keep Trump’s alleged affair with Daniels secret until after the election. Trump has consistently denied the affair and pleaded not guilty.
“Tears of joy,” Kathy Griffin, the comedian who was canceled for posting a controversial photo with a fake severed head of Trump in 2018, shared on X.

Singer Barbra Streisand tried to rally Democrat voters with her Thursday post. “Convicted felon Donald Trump is blaming the judge, the jury and New York for being found guilty on 34 counts,” she penned.
“He will never accept accountability for his crimes,” the aging Democrat claimed. “Americans must not allow this felon anywhere near the White House again.”
Ultra-liberal High Fidelity actor John Cusack commented that “The dumb treacherous criminal is now a convicted felon – 34 times over.”
While late-night host Jimmy Kimmel posted an image of Shaquille O’Neal slam dunking, highlighting his jersey number, 34.
Star Trek actor George Takei proposed that “We should start referring to him as 34 instead of 45.”

“God Bless New York City!!!” tweeted Animal Kingdom star Ellen Barkin.
In response to the verdict, Trump called the trial a “rigged” and “disgraceful.” He declared that the “real verdict” would be on election day in November.
“I’m a very innocent man,” Trump insisted, accusing President Joe Biden of weaponizing the legal system against political opponents by engaging in “lawfare.”
It’s weird how 1 felony can prevent you from getting a federal job, but 34 can’t stop you from running for President! #TeamDl

“We will win,” Trump asserted regarding the appeals process. “We will fight for our Constitution. This is far from over.”
Judge Merchan scheduled sentencing for July 11, only four days before the Republican National Convention.
Hocus Pocus witch Bette Midler reacted uncharacteristically simply with, “Guilty on all charges.”
Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson said that the verdict “won’t stop Trump,” and insisted he will win in November “if he’s not killed first.”
“But it does mark the end of the fairest justice system in the world,” Carlson added. “Anyone who defends this verdict is a danger to you and your family.”
“Sorry, Tucker,” horror author Stephen King replied. “He did this to himself, having sexual intercourse with a porn star. Crookedy-crook-crook-crook.”
Sorry, Tucker.
He did this to himself, having sexual intercourse with a porn star.

“The Republican candidate for President is a convicted felon,” he wrote in separate tweet.
Actress Vivica A. Fox exclaimed, “WOWZERS #Trump GOT’EM!!” Meanwhile, Lynda Carter said that “34 is now my favorite number.”
Comedian DL Hughley cracked a litany of jokes about the verdict. “It’s weird how 1 felony can prevent you from getting a federal job, but 34 can’t stop you from running for President,” he posted.
“Trump says Mother Teresa couldn’t beat these charges!” he tweeted in another. “I’m pretty sure Mother Teresa never raw dogged a h**ker!”
“Alvin Bragg, Judge Tanya Chutkan, Leticia James, and Fani Wllis!” Hughley listed off Trump prosecutors and one judge. “You can ban black history, you just can’t stop us from making it!”
Ultra-left actor Billy Baldwin posted, “Guilty on all counts. E. Jean Carroll … Stormy Daniels … Election interference, espionage, and inciting an insurrection coming up.”
Actor Michael Ian Black stated, “Donald Trump is now a convicted felon.”

Trump addressed his supporters in a video posted on social media Thursday evening following his conviction.
“This is the final battle,” Trump declared in a black-and-white video on Truth Social. “With you at my side, we will demolish the deep state, we will expel the war mongers from our government.”
“We will drive out the globalists, we will cast out the communists, Marxists, and fascists; we will throw off the sick political class that hates our country,” Trump continued.
“We will rout the fake news media and we will liberate America from these villains once and for all.”
The video concluded by urging people to register with his campaign.
