LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jim Carrey is being criticized on social media for a portrait he painted that is believed to be White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
The actor and comedian on Saturday tweeted the painting with the caption: “This is the portrait of a so-called Christian whose only purpose in life is to lie for the wicked. Monstrous!”

Some Twitter users accused Carrey of shaming because of the unflattering portrait. Others were critical of his use of Christian.
A spokeswoman for Carrey confirms it is his painting. But she would not confirm it is Sanders.
The White House has not returned a message seeking comment.
Is this supposed to be news?
Someone wrote something on the Twitter and some people criticized it.
Oh no, stop the presses.
I saw Jim Carrey’s art studio on Jerry Seinfeld’s talk show Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee… he seems really into it. I rate this piece 2.5 GWB’s.

Let me get this straight: they are angry because he seems to be shaming a person because of her looks? Who does he think he is, the President? And they might want to work on that beam in their own eye before they become angry about people criticizing the behavior of those who claim to be religious.
To quote a famous Monk “You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time”.
It should be illegal to use art to criticize a government figure! And words! You should not be able to use words to criticize anyone in government! And ideas and thoughts! Those are not allowed either, unless you’re supporting the government! Who does this Jim Carrey think he is… an American?
