Sarah Palin shows her support to "American Sniper" and slams Hollywood in the process. The former Alaska governor and VP candidate took to Facebook on Tuesday, January 20 to express her support to the movie and mentioned "Hollywood leftists" in the post.
"God bless our troops, especially our snipers," she started. "May the epic 'American Sniper' bring nothing but blessings to Taya and the children of this true American hero. Thank you Bradley Cooper and Clint Eastwood for respecting the United States Military," she added, referring to the wife of Chris Kyle, the movie's inspiration, its lead star and director.
The movie about the most lethal sniper in U.S. military history has been igniting controversy with some people claiming that it is pro-war and pro-sniper. Director Michael Moore made headlines over the weekend when he shared his opinion regarding snipers on Twitter, writing that "snipers aren't heroes." He clarified later that the comment wasn't meant to criticize "American Sniper".
"Superman" star Dean Cain is another star who weighs in on the debate. He sent out tweets to Moore and Seth Rogen regarding the topic over the weekend.
@MMFlint Disparage #ChrisKyle to my face. We'll see who is a coward. #Disrespect #Coward
