Jim Carrey calls for removal of soulless traitors in White House and Congress

Actor Jim Carrey lashed out at congressional Republicans for their “soulless” tax reform scheme.

The actor and comedian tweeted out a call to action Wednesday to remove President Donald Trump and his GOP accomplices from office.


“The GOP and WH have become sinister conclaves of souless (sic) traitors, liars and thieves – a gangrene we must remove so democracy can live,” Carrey tweeted.

Now if only every one else with any public would come out and publicly say the same thing daily, I might actually have a reason to feel more optimism.

They forget that comedians are people too, and are allowed to have a say.

It's just that it irks them when people who have the ear of a large fanbase call them out and say things they don't like.

(Cue 45 tweeting "Loser Jokin' Jim Carrey hasn't made a good movie since THE GRINCH WHO STOLE CHRISTMAS. SAD!" in 3... 2... )

There's better voices to follow to get rid of Trump and his cronies, not this clod.

I always thought his humor kinda had an appeal to uneducated right wingers.

Let alone he has a certain amount of baggage in the way he's treated the women in his own private life.
