both of their original comments were terrible. It's not my apology to accept and it's not a contest, but like OP said Susan is at least acknowledging how/why she fucked up. Julianna's is just a bunch of words.

Julianna's statement is bs. She says racism is abhorrent, yet didn't apologize for specific racist things she said on the podcast. And she still doesn't acknowledge the humanity of Palestinians (or Muslims in general for that matter) and focuses on hamas.

It's disgusting that people like her, Debra Messing or Amy Schumer say or share the most islamophobic things and can go on with their day.

Debra Messing actually shared a clip of Wilders who is a far right European politician.

Julianna was SO fucking racist. Besides the BLM black square bullshit, her whole "Queer people should be pro Israel" completely ignored the existence of queer Palestinians who *are* actively being killed by Israel rn. Not to mention the shitty implications (that Amy Schumer also made) that Black Jews don't exist, ig.

I'm sure I'm missing something else. She said so much bullshit in so few sentences

She also said that queer people would get beheaded the moment they entered an Islamic country and that people would be playing football with their heads. Absolutely vile and unhinged.

Wtf. She’s unhinged.

[ostsiberia]

Exactly, weaponising anti-blackness or anti-lgbtq to get allies to fall in line is still bigotry.

The things she said were draw-dropping! I thought people were exaggerating until I actually listened to that podcast.

[iamtheliquorr]

It is almost impressive how much offensiveness she was able to pack into such short sound bites

Messing shared a clip of Wilders??? Geert, clown prince of dutch racist asshats, 'we should keep black pete and get rid of the Moroccans' Wilders???
jfc

She did! It was on her stories a few days ago. It was a clip of him talking about Islam, you can imagine how racist it was. She is a lost cause.

[artsyfartsy01]

holy shit, that is next level. what a dipshit. lost cause, indeed
