Just before the year ended, the much-loved and politically quick-witted model, actor, tv host and author Chrissy Teigen reposted her most popular tweet of 2017. In four words, Teigen sums up what the majority of Americans already know, but some Trump supporters don’t seem to get.
Teigen’s response to a Trump supporter went viral with over 650k likes and close to a quarter million retweets. Here’s how that breif conversation between the two of them went down.
Sassy Gay Republican @sassygayrepub:
“I don’t think liberals understand that when they trash talk Trump, they’re also trash talking the millions of people who voted for him.”
Christine Teigen #chrissyteigen:
“Uhhhhh. Yeah. We know.”
Though it may be impolite, it’s not hard to trash-talk the millions of Trump supporters who knowingly voted for a lying, cheating, scamming, racist, sexist, homophobic, Islamophobic, sexual-predatory and dangerously deranged, ego-driven global threat. Even now, as they watch him attempt to destroy all that is great about America this past year—they continue cheer him on. What are you thinking Sassy?
Here is the original Twitter post:
Teigen continues to win the internet. Her reposted tweet garnered almost as many “likes” as did the original tweet. And her page is loaded with similar quips. Here’s a response by Teigen earlier in the year after a cyber-asshat tried and failed to bully her.
During these days of constant political turmoil, corruption and anxiety, a bit of well-placed snark and wit gives many of us a chance to exhale. Celebrities who are courageous enough to speak out politically know they risk losing a large number and possibly the majority of their fans. On the flip side, they sometimes gain more fans than they lost. That seems to be the case for Teigen. Given the current number of Twitter followers (9.7 million), she looks to be doing just fine.
