Jim Carrey criticized for portrait resembling Sarah Huckabee Sanders
Jim Carrey is under fire for his most recent painting, which appears to be that of Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
The actor and comedian did not ID the subject of the unflattering portrait, but just wrote, "This is the portrait of a so-called Christian whose only purpose in life is to lie for the wicked. Monstrous!"
The father of the White House press secretary, Mike Huckabee, blasted Carrey for the art piece.

"Pathetic BULLY, sexist, hater, bigot & 'Christaphobe' @jimcarrey attacks @PressSec for her faith; what would be hypocritical Hollywood reaction if he called someone a 'so-called Muslim' or 'so-called Jew?" #classlessCarrey," the former Arkansas governor and one-time presidential candidate tweeted.

Others offended by the art criticized Carrey for shaming Sanders.
According to the AP, a rep for Carry confirmed the piece is his work, but did not comment further.
It is unclear if the White House will comment on the matter.
