Actress Learns The Hard Way That Free Speech Works Both Ways After Anti-GOP July 4 Message
Little-known actress Betty Gilpin is currently getting roasted online following her decision to use Independence Day as an opportunity to flip off Republicans.
According to Breitbart, Gilpin plays “soap opera actress-turned-wrestler” Debbie Eagan (aka Liberty Bell) in the new Netflix series GLOW, which is “set in the world of 1980s female wrestling in Los Angeles.”
This morning, the outlet reports, Gilpin tweeted a photo of her character holding up two middle fingers (seen above).
In the now-deleted tweet, she wrote, “Liberty Bell wishing the GOP a happy 4th!”
Many Twitter users, perhaps inspired by Gilpin’s decision to exercise her right to free speech on this patriotic day, decided to let her know how they really feel.
“That escalated quickly,” she wrote in a subsequent tweet in response to the barrage of negative reaction her earlier one received.
“I don’t like Trump, I love you, but if you don’t love me you totallydon’t have2follow [sic] me.”
Conservatives are exercising their First Amendment right and roasting her for that too.
