Senator Mark Kirk (R-IL) is hoping to raise some campaign funds on Sony Picture’s decision not to release “The Interview” after threats from suspected North Korean hackers. Reaction to the his plan on Twitter was, shall we say, mixed.
With Sony's surrender to North Korea, I plan to host a movie screening of @theinterview. http://t.co/PBf2MII5Hp

@SenatorKirk Sony is not the United States. How does your rambling about the 1st amendment make any sense?

@SenatorKirk @BuzzFeedAndrew @TheInterview Leave it to a politician to try to raise money for his campaign off of the movie.
