CNN’s Chris Cillizza had this critique:
This is a beautiful portrait. It looks very little like Michelle Obama pic.twitter.com/1CsRrWIJtN

Watch out, everybody! Obama fans were NOT happy:
This is a shitty tweet. It looks very much like a Cillizza tweet. https://t.co/na4ydwnUBq

At first I thought this was just poorly worded but then he compared this to a picture of Brad Pitt as his portrait. So he really was taking a cheap shot at Michelle Obama. Cillizza is an idiot creep. https://t.co/T5u1vMuZYK

Don't throw shade on this first lady icon. The portrait is amazing. More importantly, so is she. https://t.co/dz6jwtsT3m

This ugly tweet, clearly demonstrates that don't resemble a competent journalist. Your resentment also makes you seem very little. https://t.co/RPLk2sSuaT

Ladies and gentlemen, I present Chris Cillizza, art critic.
And it turns out that he's as bad at that as he is at political commentary. So sad. https://t.co/wxciPCsN9d

Your political views are usually just wrong, but your comments on this artist's rendering of Michelle Obama are contemptible.
