Ben Stiller Faces Backlash Over Misinterpreted Tweet Amid White House Correspondents' Dinner Shooting
Actor Ben Stiller received backlash after a tweet he posted was misinterpreted as a reaction to a shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. Stiller, a New York Knicks fan, tweeted 'Got it done' following the Knicks' victory over the Atlanta Hawks. However, the tweet coincided with a shooting incident at the dinner, leading some to mistakenly believe it was related to the event. The shooting involved a gunman firing shots at the hotel hosting the dinner, prompting President Trump and guests to be evacuated. Stiller's tweet drew criticism from some, including Republican lawmaker Nancy Mace, while others defended him, clarifying the tweet was about the basketball game.
