Celebrities tear into Donald Trump over 'Hitler-Ian' border security address
President Donald Trump’s Tuesday night Oval Office address on border security sparked anger among many celebrities, who vented their anger and frustrations on Twitter.
Singers, actors, comedians and entertainers – including Cher, Bette Midler, Mia Farrow, Seth MacFarlane, Rose McGowan, Michael Ian Black and Kathy Griffin – joined the chorus of critical tweets leveled at Trump, who used his speech to repeat multiple falsehoods about immigration.

As Trump spouts off with his BS...a reminder of when he had this conversation about the wall with the then President of Mexico. We know what was said thanks to leaked transcripts published in the Washington Post. https://t.co/6heXOac0YUpic.twitter.com/GmzGh8qvgv

Straight lies from the Oval are nothing new. What is new is that @realdonaldtrump is losing base support, and fast, as his failures pile up. @speakerpelosi and @senschumer spoke truth to faux power as they pulled at the threads of an unraveling administration.

#munchausensbyproxy We’re living it every day. It might be called something else; a person holds an entire nation hostage so that they will pay attention to him. What is that called?? Anyone??

Trump, live now, railing against immigrants while sitting beside the photo of his immigrant mother. Shame. pic.twitter.com/Oly64Zy2bF

Trump was grooming hard tonight. Hitler-Ian rhetoric. Wake up. Fight back or sit down Democrats

FACT: Immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than native-born Americans.

Donald:
Only of these two things is actually getting built, brick by brick:
1) your damned border wall, or
2) Mueller's case against you.
Guess which it is? 🤣🤣🤣— George Takei (@GeorgeTakei) January 9, 2019
No state of emergency declared. No new policy. Just a bunch of lies about process and racist scare stories.
Good job, networks.— Mikel Jollett (@Mikel_Jollett) January 9, 2019
