Rob Schneider: BLASTED for Martin Luther King-John Lewis Tweet
Rob Schneider is an expert as many things:
Making bad movies. Making terrible movies. Making historically unfunny and pathetic excuses for movies.
But Schneider does not appear to be a Civil Rights expert, as evidenced by a Tweet that has landed the “actor” in scalding hot water.
On Monday, Schneider felt a need to lecture Georgia Congressman John Lewis on some American history, most notably the way Martin Luther King Jr. lived his legendary life.
Lewis, of course, has been in the news of late because he has said he will NOT attend Donald Trump’s inauguration on January 20.
The politician said last week that he doesn’t consider Trump to be a “legitimate president,” based on intelligence reports that confirm Russia hacked into this year’s election, with the intention of helping Trump defeat Hillary Clinton.
In response to that decision and assessment, Trump went off on Lews via Twitter.
“Congressman John Lewis should spend more time on fixing and helping his district, which is in horrible shape and falling apart (not to mention crime infested) rather than falsely complaining about the election results,” the President-Elect wrote, adding:
“All talk, talk, talk – no action or results. Sad!”
This Tweet is racist, misguided and ridiculous.
Lewis literally marched alongside Martin Luther King Jr. and was arrested on many occasions while fighting for civil rights in the 1960s.
You’d be hard-pressed to find a politician who has accomplished more or taken more action than John Lewis.
But such lack of logic, intelligence and sympathy is to be expected from Trump.
We guess it should have been expected from the actor best known for having portrayed Deuce Bigalow, too.
This is what Schneider wrote yesterday on social media:
“Rep. Lewis. You are a great person. But Dr. King didn’t give in to his anger or his hurt. That is how he accomplished & won Civil Rights.”
Lewis – who has served as the U.S. Representative for Georgia’s 5th congressional district since 1987 – was with King on the day of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in 1963.
He also famously marched with King during the 1965 march from Selma to Montgomery.
And yet Rob Schneider (Rob Schneider!) somehow felt qualified to lecture Lewis on what King did and thought.
Fortunately, Twitter users also saw the irony and felt the anger as a result of this Tweet.
“Rob Scheider [sic] lecturing anyone on anything is offensive, much less John Lewis on MLK Day. #facepalm,” one person wrote online, while another added:
“As if rob schneider and his entire shtick as a sidekick to Adam Sandler career wasn’t embarrassing enough.”
There was also this amazing takedown, which pointed to all the times Schneider played characters that were nothing but ethnic and racial stereotypes:
Schneider is yet to respond to this onslaught of criticism.
We’d say it would be good for his career if he did so, but let’s be honest:
Rob Scheider has not had any kind of career in a very long time.
If this was his attempt to simply make some news and to see his name in a headline for the first time in years, then well done, Rob! Mission accomplished!
Now you may return to sticking your lips as far up Sandler’s butt as they can go. You’re an idiot.
