Scratch a liberal, find a hatemonger. On Tuesday, actor Michael Ian Black and others used the tragic Gatlinburg, Tennessee, fire to issue messages of hate against Trump supporters.
“When Trump supporters voted to “burn it all down,” I bet they didn’t think it would start with Tennessee,” Black wrote.
Twitchy said the tweet disappeared even as they were writing up their post, but they did get a screen capture of the offensive message:
He wasn’t the only one to express this sentiment. This message, which appears to have been deleted, was also making the rounds on Twitter:
And they have called Trump supporters and conservatives hateful! You actually enjoy watching Gatlinburg burn?! VERY special kind of stupid! https://t.co/d4CLr61OiJ

Black backed off his hateful message and claimed it was a joke. We’re still waiting for the punch line…
He explained:

Right. Because an entire town engulfed in flames is a real knee-slapper, right?

Insensitive doesn’t even begin to describe this.

A search of Twitter also found that many were upset with the Clinton News Network for obsessing about Trump’s tweets while ignoring the fact that an city is on fire:
@CNN How about covering the Gatlinburg fire? Just a large city under siege by wildfire. Not Trump not news???? #nottrumpnotnews #gatlinburg

Not that they really care, but I think they lost all credibility a long time ago.
One person advised:
ProTip: when attempting hot takes, don't go full Michael Ian Black. You speed past witty, straight into assholedom. https://t.co/3l7KUaVDgX

Good advise…
As a final note, Black turned the conversation — if it can be called that — to racism and his view that people who voted for Trump are white supremacists:

Nothing more need be said at this point…
