Celebs React to Trump's CNN Wrestling Attack Video
Celebs are speaking out after President Donald Trump tweeted an edited video in which he attacks a “CNN” character in the wrestling ring.
The video seemingly promotes violence, despite the president’s administration saying that he does not encourage it at all.
As a response to the video, CNN’s communications team tweeted out a quote from his spokesperson Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Keep in mind, this is something she said only three days ago.
“The President in no way form or fashion has ever promoted or encouraged violence. If anything, quite the contrary,” Sarah told the press.
Celebs like Chelsea Clinton, Andy Cohen, J.K. Rowling, Kevin Zegers, Ava DuVernay, and more have tweeted about the violent video. Read below.

Remember the time the president photoshopped the logo of a news company on a person and then tweeted a vid of him fake wrestling that logo?

White supremacy is such that it allows a clearly diminished man to post this and proceed, but blocked the dignity of Obama at every turn. https://t.co/W6HGiRhC4y

I wonder if Trump knows something we don't about the investigation, because he's a bit more unhinged than usual right now.

I'm dying to know which staffers got to work on it. Who wrote the scheduling memo. Who did the briefing. How quickly comms signed off.

These things the president is tweeting don't worry me as much as the reality of there being people who like it. That's the scary part.
