Mussolini granddaughter defends Trump in attack on Jim Carrey over Twitter post about ‘fascism’

In a series of tweets on Sunday morning, the granddaughter of Italian strongman Benito Mussolini lashed out at actor Jim Carrey over a Twitter post about fascism which led to her later coming to the defense of President Donald Trump.

On Saturday, the comedian — who is also known for his blunt artwork — posted an illustraion he made of the Mussolini and his mistress Claretta hanging from their heels after he was deposed following World War II, with the caption: “If you’re wondering what fascism leads to, just ask Benito Mussolini and his mistress Claretta.”

This apparently infuriated his granddaughter Alessandra Mussolini — now an Italian politician — who lashed out at Carrey on Twitter with a series of tweets about American atrocities.

She later tweeted at Trump — tagging him in the post — writing, “President @realDonaldTrump doesn’t have to worry about poor @JimCarrey politica attacks; his drawings are only dirty paper.”

1. Yeah go ahead and defend your evil relative... if you do then you are no better

[DirtEdonE]

2. IMO, it's the same as ivanka defending daddy.

No excuses for the inexcusable. If you don't want to be hung from your heels and bled don't be a fucking fascist.

Don't be offended, allesandra. I am not singling out your father. That goes for all fucking fascists, foreign and DOMESTIC.

3. She should change her first name

to Adolf.

Another Mussolini? WTF is wrong with the Italian voters?

Oh, wait, I'm an American. We elected trump. WTF right do I have to criticize anyone?

[cstanleytech]

18. "WTF right do I have to criticize anyone?" The same right as everyone else really, the right to

think for yourself.
Some unfortunately become afraid for varies reasons and decide give up that right and would prefer to be told what to think which is how we get someone like Trump in office.

[PSPS]

5. LOL. We've devolved to the point where Mussolini endorses the US president.

[DirtEdonE]

6. LOL. And to the point where U.S. "presidents" endorse Mussolini!

11. And democratic leaders like: putin, duterte, orban

I'm sorta surprised that our thug-in-chief isn't a buddy with Maduro too.

7. The fascist never go away

Even when your grandfather was hung in the public square for his atrocities there are evil people still ready to back you.

8. This only proves the point!!! LOL

9. I think his poll numbers were down when this happened

The bodies of Mussolini and Petacci were taken to Milan and left in a suburban square, the Piazzale Loreto, for a large angry crowd to insult and physically abuse. They were then hung upside down from a metal girder above a service station on the square. The bodies were beaten, shot at, and hit with hammers. I think at this point his "unfavorables" were higher than his "favorables"

I am not sure that his granddaughter should be giving words of support.

Also, even though our President seems to be in agreement with Mussolini on so many points, I think it would be distasteful to suggest the same could happen to Trump when his poll numbers are down.

23. Distastefully, I've already identified a lamppost near the White House . . .

Just perfect for hanging a side of beef upside down from.

10. Alessandra should just stick with singing bad Japanese pop

Her responses try to say "America is just as bad," but ends up underscoring Carrey's original message.

[yuiyoshida]

20. I winced at that...

talk about culture appropriation...

[Wednesdays]

24. I stand corrected

She should stay away from jpop gigs as well.

[notdarkyet]

12. I thought she was dead. Wishful thinking.

[Evolve Dammit]

13. Wow. Keeps getting more surreal every day. "Mussolini endorses Trump 2020!"

[YOHABLO]

14. Like I care what she has to say about her fascist grandfather.Trump has a lot to worry about

[Polybius]

15. Alessandra Mussolini?

Wow, I remember when she was making headlines in the 90's. Haven't heard about her since.

[Judi Lynn]

16. She must be looking for ways to get her name in front of the public again.

She seems like a "real nice person."

[rockfordfile]

17. I think she donated to the GOP.

[Honeycombe8]

19. Like grandfather, like granddaughter, like Trump. nt

22. Lady, you need to go perform an unnatural act with yourself. n/t
