'Now THAT'S funny'! Look who's defending Jim Carrey from 'ridiculous' critics of Sarah Sanders portrait

Sarah D | 7:26 PM on March 19, 2018

As Twitchy told you, over the weekend, Renaissance man Jim Carrey tweeted out a grotesque portrait of Sarah Huckabee Sanders:

This is the portrait of a so-called Christian whose only purpose in life is to lie for the wicked. Monstrous! pic.twitter.com/MeYLTy1pqb

Carrey took a lot of heat for that, but he can rest easy knowing who’s in his corner:

UPDATE: @kathygriffin lends her support to @JimCarrey after backlash over his horrific portraits of #DonaldTrump, #SarahHuckabeeSanders https://t.co/ex5l4kNSg8

It’s all gonna be OK now.

A) On the left is an image @JimCarrey tweeted on 1/30…right is the image of Sarah Sanders. His image of Sanders is not sexist – it's his style of portraying people he believes aren't acting in good faith. That he is being attacked for this is ridiculous. pic.twitter.com/uNq9pLsv6S

C). I also want everyone to know that the day after my Trump image came out, @JimCarrey was one of the first people to call me to offer words of support. I'll never forget it. But even if he didn't, I would still stand up for him. What a ridiculous thing to be outraged about.

Carrey has yet to express any kind of regret over his depiction of Sanders. But now that Kathy Griffin’s going to bat for him, he might actually be ashamed.
