Actress Chrissy Teigen attacked Donald Trump after the president went after NBC News’ Lester Holt, singer John Legend, and Teigen herself for not giving him the credit he feels he deserves when it comes to prison reform.
“lol what a p—- a– b—-. tagged everyone but me. an honor, mister president,” the model and author wrote on Twitter, referencing the fact that her husband Legend, Holt and Van Jones were all called out by name while she was not.
Sunday evening he wrote, “When all of the people pushing so hard for Criminal Justice Reform were unable to come even close to getting it done, they came to me as a group and asked for my help. I got it done with a group of Senators & others who would never have gone for it. Obama couldn’t come close.
“A man named @VanJones68, and many others, were profusely grateful (at that time!). I SIGNED IT INTO LAW, no one else did, & Republicans deserve much credit. But now that it is passed, people that had virtually nothing to do with it are taking the praise,” he continued. “Guys like boring…..”
In the third tweet of the series of four he wrote, “….musician @johnlegend, and his filthy mouthed wife, are talking now about how great it is – but I didn’t see them around when we needed help getting it passed. ‘Anchor’ @LesterHoltNBC doesn’t even bring up the subject of President Trump or the Republicans when talking about.”
Finally, he concluded:“The importance or passage of Criminal Justice Reform. They only talk about the minor players, or people that had nothing to do with it…And the people that so desperately sought my help when everyone else had failed, all they talk about now is Impeaching President Trump!”
Sunday night, MSNBC aired a “Justice For All” town hall with Holt and Legend that, as Legend put it in a promo for the event, discussed “our country’s broken criminal justice system.”
On Twitter, Teigen commented, “the absolute best part of his tweet is I literally didn’t speak in the special, nor was I mentioned. I’m cackling at the pointless addition of me because he cannot not be a bitch.”
The rest of her feed is full of pictures and videos of herself preparing a sign for her daughter’s first day of school, eating pasta, and watching “90 Day Fiance” while encouraging jokes and trends offered up by fans of her critique.
Legend wrote, “Imagine being president of a whole country and spending your Sunday night hate-watching MSNBC hoping somebody–ANYBODY–will praise you. Melania, please praise this man. He needs you.”
As of Monday morning, #filthymouthedwife, #TeamChrissy and, simply, “Chrissy Teigen” were still trending on the microblogging site.
A representative for NBCUniversal did not immediately respond to a request for comment, nor did the White House.
9 People #BlockedByTrump on Twitter, From Chrissy Teigen to Stephen King (Photos)
While Donald Trump likes to dole out criticism on Twitter, he certainly doesn't like to receive it. And lately, he's even blocking people for doing it. Here is the (growing) list of noteworthy people who have been #BlockedByTrump on his favorite social media platform.
Chrissy Teigen
After years of trolling him, this model finally got #BlockedByTrump in July 2017. Apparently, what broke POTUS' back wasn't being called a "twat;" it was being told, "lol no one likes you."
Stephen King The horror novelist and frequent Trump critic alerted fans in June 2017 that he had beed blocked by POTUS. Fortunately, King won't have to miss out: "Harry Potter" author J.K. Rowling offered to DM Trump tweets directly to him.
"Morning Joe" hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski President Trump didn't explicitly block Scarborough and Brzezinski, but he did unfollow them. The "Morning Joe" duo are politically conservative, but emerged as vocal Trump critics in late 2016.
MSNBC
Bess Kalb Trump blocked the "Jimmy Kimmel Live" writer after she hurled a few jokes at him. Afterward, Kalb tweeted that she was mortified yet unsurprised "that the leader of the free world could be so wounded by the gentle ribbing of a comedy writer." She also called Trump a "snowflake."
VoteVets Trump blocked the progressive veterans advocacy group after it harshly criticized his Muslim travel ban and his potential links with Russia. But VoteVets was unfazed, later tweeting, "The Commander in Chief can block @VoteVets, the voice of 500k military veterans and families, but we will NOT be silenced."
Twitter
Holly O'Reilly The musician/activist was probably #BlockedByTrump after tweeting a photo of him and an all-black-clad Melania with the caption, "Dress for the job you want. #widow," or calling him a "bloody idiot." O'Reilly claims Trump violated her constitutional rights by blocking her, and after it happened, told Time, "It's like FDR took my radio away."
Twitter
Andy Signore The Emmy-nominated writer was incensed after Trump took London Mayor Sadiq Khan's words out of context, then claimed Khan didn't care about the victims of the London terror attacks. So Signore slammed Trump on Twitter - and was blocked in return.
Twitter
John Niven The "Kill Your Friends" author is a #BlockedByTrump O.G; Trump blocked him sometime around November 9, 2016. Niven turned a screenshot of the block notification into a badge of honor, tweeting "I'm blocked on Twitter by the President of the United States. Strange days."
Twitter
Jimmy Smagula This actor was #BlockedByTrump, but not by first daughter Ivanka, a fact he used to his advantage after she tweeted a widely-mocked tribute to "my LGBT friends" at the start of Pride Month. "TELL YOUR A****** FATHER AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT" he said on June 2.
