Comedian-actor Patton Oswalt posted a tweet on Tuesday in which he imagined supporters of President Donald Trump dying from coronavirus.

The Ratatouille star joked that “MAGA” supporters infected with COVID-19 would be obsessed with the media’s treatment of President Trump as they coughed themselves to death.

Trump has asked Attorney General William Barr to launch a Department of Justice investigation into the media’s coronavirus coverage.

I'd never heard of "Patton Oswalt" until I read this thread.

Is he supposed to be somebody important...?

He played all the Koenig brothers on 'Agents of Shield', and was the goofy constable dude in 'Justified'.

I tried to imagine Patton Oswalt's opinions being relevant to my life, but just couldn't make it happen.  :pondering:

He was a halfway decent actor, and he really went off the rails mentally after his wife passed away. Went full libtard and tried to "remain" relevant.

And how is that any worse than comments I’ve seen some so called conservatives make on Twitter, at TOS and others, like hoping the virus kills all the homeless in San Fran or that they shouldn’t have cancelled SXSW or Coachella because a lot of libs and hippies would die, or how happy they were Pelosi said that Congress should keep working because maybe it will kill her plus all the Dems?

He’s a comedian who has been in a lot of tv and movies. His first wife was a best selling true crime writer. Personally I find his humor meh. You might recognize him from “Raymond” or “Veep”?

I spend a lot of time on twitter and seen no such comments. Assuming people have made them, they're certainly as inexcusable as Oswalt's.

Yes, unfortunately there's that five percent of nuts on both sides of the political equation.
Cite me the conservative celebs who wish for people to die from the virus.
I'll condemn them like I condemn the lib celebs wishing for disaster on their political opponents.
So far, whenever there's been a disaster, it's been liberal celebs hoping for the worst.

I haven't seen such comments, though there are places where I think it possible. There's a reason I don't frequent such places. That said, you are correct, hoping people will die is reprehensible (with the usual Hitler-Stalin grade monsters excluded). But I don't think that's a 999yawn .

@Fishrrman

I have seen him in minor roles on tv shows and maybe one movie,but I wouldn't call him "important". He does a pretty good job of acting funny or sad,most likely due to his face being so flexible. I remember one role where he was a co-star of sorts in a sympathetic role,and he was pretty good in that one. Not good enough I can remember the title,but he did stand out from the others.

Guess jobs are getting harder to find now that he is older,so he is screaming for attention.

One benefits the Republic,and one is detrimental to the Republic.

You could at least TRY to pay attention.

It isn't.  And when you post those comments, we will call them out on it as well.  Haven't seen any yet, but I don't read Twitter or TOS.

Just another one in hundreds of thousands of deranged Liberals trying to get famous by trashing Trump and his family.
Never heard of him at all ever. And yes, he certainly could be a body double for Elton John.

This numbnut is at best a B or C actor.  The highlight of his career might be marrying Meredith Salenger, the girl that played Natty Gann and a deputy in Placid Lake.  Frankly, I could not name one thing he ever did.

He is an inconsequential actor.  What he says should only register with his momma.

Agreed  :beer:  (https://www.gstatic.com/tv/thumb/persons/168000/168000_v9_bb.jpg)  Walton Goggins was fantastic on the show. I don't give a damn what he thinks about pandemics though.

Sorry I missed this @sneakypete - Yeah. Probably my favorite series... And they ended it decently too.

The series introduced me to Olyphant... But yeah, Goggins plays a criminal redneck like he is one.

I will absolutely join a learned man of discerning taste in quality TV drama, such as yourself, in another toast of Justified.
