Kirstie Alley's divisive tweet elicits backlash; Actress expresses shock that country is so divided

Gee, it’s getting so you can’t insinuate that millions of people are racist murderers without folks getting all divided over it!

Yesterday, actress Kirstie Alley wrote a tweet that she ended up deleting, but not before it made the rounds on Twitter. In the deleted tweet, Alley was trying to express her disgust over the George Zimmerman verdict, and she went overboard:

Obviously Alley got plenty of criticism for that blanket statement, which she is now laughably citing as evidence of a “divided country.”

It’s simple: If you don’t want a divided country, stop giving it reasons for division.

@kirstiealley Really? REALLY? After the hate you were on here spewing? #SweepUnderYourOwnDoorstep
