FAIL: Jessica Chastain tries to squeeze WAY too much lib narrative (+ movie promo) into 1 tweet

Posted at 12:14 am on October 04, 2017 by Doug P.

Actress Jessica Chastain cited a quote from one of her recent movies in an attempt to get in a dig at the American health care system and gun laws all in one tweet, and it’s nothing but backfire:

Welcome to America, where you'll wait 6 months for an X-ray but hey, you can buy an AR-15 in 5 minutes flat.

Gee, where to even start with that? How about everywhere?

Neither are true, but whatevs.

1) it doesn't take 6 mo for an X-ray
2) you can't buy an AR-15 in 15 min
3) mass casualties, watch my movie

3 strikes. You're out.

What is @jes_chastain talking about here? ?

We literally accept walk-ins at our medical imaging center. https://t.co/GBVFsA0xJ9

6 months for an X-ray? I didn't think Obamacare was that bad, but I could be wrong. https://t.co/QVABckSFOw

Welcome to America, where you can politicize a tragedy, unknowingly trash Obamacare, lie about guns & promote your movie in one tweet pic.twitter.com/OAchYyERLL

It’s an across-the-board FAIL:

This tweet proves two things,
A) you have never tried to buy a firearm.
B) you have an incredibly shitty doctor. https://t.co/e5v2PxDlzy

Welcome to America, where celebrities are allowed to spout absolute bullshit because of the same Bill of Rights that allows me to own guns https://t.co/UYWG2AuPYq

Imagine what she could do with 280 character tweets!

You can get an X-Ray at a 24-hour Urgent Care in 20 minutes.

Also, fuck your movie.

I love your movies, but this tweet is so inaccurate.

I care about this issue so much I'm plugging my movie. https://t.co/wUAuELcgwt

My doctor has an X-ray machine in his office. No wait needed.

Stick to spitting out lines someone else writes for you. https://t.co/PcjO8LMHne

Sent a patient off for an x-ray this morning. Got the wet read before lunch. https://t.co/jQaWrcIgAA

Chastain must be seeing the wrong medical professionals.

Welcome to America, where it's cool to toss out some insultingly stupid lies in order to pimp a movie. Interesting marketing choice there. https://t.co/QxIn1fGYm0

RT if you've never waited 6 months for an x-ray and are against celebrities using tragedies to advertise their movies. https://t.co/QxIn1fGYm0

Welcome to America, where an actress uses the death of 59 innocents to plug her movie.

Oh hey cool. Using a mass shooting to promote your movie. https://t.co/reVjWF43Gg

— Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) October 4, 2017

Well you do have to pass a background check to purchase an AR-15 first. I'd think an expert like Miss Sloane would know this.

— Troy Kuhn (@Tachyon362) October 4, 2017

I've never waited more than 5 minutes for an X-ray, and it takes an hour or more to buy an AR-15, but hey you be you.

So it’s settled then:
