Director Paul Feig Slams Sony for Deleting 'Ghostbusters' Pro-Hillary Tweet
Movie

The deleted tweet features Hillary Clinton's campaign slogan and seems to applaud the Democratic politician for her historic presidential nomination.

AceShowbiz - Paul Feig reacts to the removal of a "Ghosbusters (2016)" tweet that seems to cheer on Hillary Clinton for her historic nomination as the first female presidential candidate of a major party. The director disagrees with Sony who deleted the tweet.

The tweet in question was posted on the film's official Twitter page. It showed Kate McKinnon's character with a message that read, "Boo-yah, we smashed your glass ceiling. There was a ghost behind it. #ImWithHer #BustTheCeiling #Ghostbusters."

"This is the first I'm hearing about this but I guarantee that none of us - producers or filmmakers - would have taken this tweet down," Feig tells The Wrap. "We are pro-woman and all about smashing the glass ceiling and we support the message of this deleted tweet. And I personally am very much pro-Hillary."

Meanwhile, Sony says, "The tweet was never intended to be a political endorsement." The studio explains that "it was a shout-out to our own glass ceiling-busters," referring to the film's stars McKinnon, Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig and Leslie Jones.
