Ben Stiller's Knicks Cheer Backfires

0:00On April 27, last Saturday night brought chaos in two places at once, a shooting broke out at the White House correspondence dinner, sending guests running and forcing President Trump along with his cabinet into secret. Service protection, right then, the New York Knicks pulled off a huge playoff win over the Atlanta Hawks, any 14-98. Knicks fans were hyped, and actor Ben Stiller joined in by tweeting his excitement for the victory. As a die-hard supporter, he was just riding the wave of that long-awaited teen triumph. But some MAGA voices saw it differently, slamming Ben for what they called a tone-deaf celebration of the DC shooting, South Carolina representative Nancy Mace jumped in, calling out his timing as insensitive. Ben stayed quiet on the attacks at first, then posted a simple emoji the next morning. Folks and his replies quickly warned that even that could get twisted out of context. In the end, it was all a mix-up from the overlapping events. Ben was purely cheering his Knicks, nothing more. That's the story for today, entertainment and celebrity news.
