On Thursday, actor Ben Stiller found himself in a state of humiliation after getting triggered by a White House video that included a clip from one of his movies. The shameless leftist actor was left red-faced and embarrassed after losing his mind over the video, only to be hit with a brutal reminder of his own hypocrisy.
The video in question was released by the White House and showcased the recent events surrounding Iran. It included a brief clip from Stiller’s movie “Tropic Thunder”, in which he plays a clueless Hollywood actor filming a war movie in a real war zone. The irony of this inclusion was not lost on many, as Stiller himself has been a vocal critic of President Trump’s handling of the situation with Iran.
But instead of taking a step back and reflecting on his own actions, Stiller chose to react in a typical leftist fashion – with outrage and indignation. He immediately took to Twitter to express his disgust, stating that he was “horrified” to see his movie being used in a political context without his consent.
However, Stiller’s outrage was short-lived as he was quickly reminded of his own past actions. It turns out that the actor had no problem using his movie for political purposes when it suited his agenda. In 2016, he released a parody video in support of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, which included footage from “Tropic Thunder”.
The hypocrisy of Stiller’s reaction did not go unnoticed, and many were quick to call him out on social media. One user tweeted, “Ben Stiller is just another Hollywood elitist who only cares about politics when it benefits him. Shame on him for trying to dictate how his movie can be used.”
The Gateway Pundit, a popular conservative news site, also covered the story and pointed out Stiller’s double standards. In their article titled “BACKFIRE: Woke Actor Ben Stiller Gets LEVELED With a Brutal Reminder After He Loses His Mind Over an Epic White House Video on Iran (VIDEO)”, they highlighted the irony of Stiller’s outrage and how it ultimately backfired on him.
This incident serves as a reminder of the growing trend of Hollywood celebrities using their platform to push their political agendas. They often claim to be champions of free speech and expression, but when it comes to their own work being used in a way they don’t agree with, they cry foul.
It’s time for these celebrities to realize that their movies and TV shows are not just their own creations, but also a product of the collective efforts of many individuals. Once released, they become a part of the public domain and can be used in various contexts, including political ones.
In the end, Stiller’s reaction only serves to highlight his own hypocrisy and the need for Hollywood to stop trying to dictate how their work can be used. The White House video was not meant to be a political statement, but rather a powerful reminder of the current situation with Iran. It’s time for everyone to put aside their personal agendas and come together for the greater good.
