“Bad Monkey” star Vince Vaughn made an unannounced visit to the White House on Friday, that left liberal fans in an uproar.

The encounter wasn’t included on the official schedule released to the press, according to The Hill, but it didn’t take long for the internet to take notice after the official White House X account posted a meme spoofing one of Vaughn’s most iconic films.

In a parody nod to the 2005 romantic comedy “Wedding Crashers,” which starred Vaughn alongside Owen Wilson, the post featured a mock movie poster dubbed White House Crashers.

It included a photo of Vaughn with President Trump during the visit, drawing a mix of humor and outrage online.

While some found the spoof clever, left-leaning Instagram users responded with outrage.

One user quipped, “Economy Crashers, too.” Another wrote, “The White House page is now a meme page. What an embarrassment!” A third chimed in, “Spot on…The White House truly is a comedy!”

Vaughn’s appearance with the president quickly reignited longstanding frustrations among some of his fans who were disappointed by what they viewed as a political statement.

One user lamented, “D**n, and I used to really like Vince Vaughn.” Another posted, “Vince Vaughn? Seriously? Fired from my favorite list.”

One more declared, “I will never watch a Vince Vaughn movie again.”

Still, there were plenty of Instagram commenters that were stoked to see Vaughn in the Oval Office.

“Renewed respect for Mr. Vaughn. I knew he was smart!” one commenter shared.

Another added, “Love to see bold celebs supporting President Trump!”

The 55-year-old actor has previously addressed his political leanings, distancing himself from both major parties and aligning more closely with libertarian ideals.

In a profile with The New York Times last year, Vaughn said, “I’d rather say let people make their choices, and they can make different choices and have the consequences of their choices.”

His meeting with Trump at the White House wasn’t his first time being spotted with the president.

In 2020, Vaughn was seen chatting with Trump during the College Football Playoff National Championship game in New Orleans.

After a flood of criticism, Vaughn defended his actions in an interview with the Los Angeles Times.

“In my career I’ve met a lot of politicians who I’ve always been cordial to,” he said at the time.

“It was the only time I’ve ever met him. We said hello. He was very personable. I didn’t get into policies.”

“I don’t have a party that I support and endorse,” Vaughn continued. “In fact, for me sometimes it’s difficult to find a candidate that you feel is philosophically consistent and not just going along with whoever is funding their particular party.”

Meanwhile, comedian and HBO host Bill Maher recently addressed his own visit to the Trump White House, which was organized by musician Kid Rock.

Unlike Vaughn, Maher said his purpose was to confront the president face-to-face and share his concerns.

On an episode of Real Time with Bill Maher, the comedian likened his visit to that of Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, who was photographed shielding herself from the press during her own Oval Office appearance.

“She was in the Oval Office, same place I was a few weeks before,” Maher noted. “And this is what she did.”

He then showed a photo of Whitmer holding up folders to hide her face in what became a viral moment.

“Ok, I think there’s a couple of ways to handle the Oval Office,” he began. “And this is not the way I chose. You don’t want to talk to people? You have no power.”

Maher pointed out that his visit wasn’t an act of regard, but an opportunity to speak candidly.

“I mean, people seem to gloss over the fact that I went in there, I didn’t surrender to him,” he said.

“I said this, of course, people don’t care. They don’t watch what I actually did. They just react to clickbait.”

He told viewers, “I went there, and I said to his face, you’re scaring people! Why do you want to scare your own citizens? I said to his face, ‘You ran in three elections, you lost the middle one.’”

The Real Time host said that regardless of his views, engaging with those in power is crucial.

“I’m glad that I was able to go and do that. Got a seat at the table. Because again, what else do you have,” Maher said.

“You have no power. So this idea that, I mean, and he’s gonna be there for another four years, that’s a long time to hold your breath.”

In a separate conversation on his Random Club Podcast with Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, Maher elaborated on his shifting perspective after speaking with Trump.

“I voted for Obama, I voted for Clinton,” Maher told Kirk. “But the idea that I could talk to them as freely as I felt this conversation was going is emblematic, to me, of why the Democrats lose the elections.”

He described Trump as more approachable than some of his Democratic counterparts.

“I know it’s so weird to say that about Donald Trump, who I’ve said a jillion times is, you know, a whiny little b***h,” he added.

“But this was about getting past that and maybe seeing that if we met in person, we don’t hate each other as much — and we don’t — and I’m sorry, I’m not going to pretend that’s a bad thing.”
