Entertainment & Celebrity News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now! — Stiller's Knicks Tweet Sparks White House Shooting Backlash. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.
It's April 27th. This is Entertainment and celebrity news today, powered by AI, your daily dose of celebrity buzz. Ben Stiller caught heat for a tweet that dropped right as a shooting when down outside the White House correspondence dinner. The Knicks had just beaten the Atlanta Hawks' 1-014-98, so the actor posted, got it done, hyped for his team. Folks mistook it for some shady nod to the attack on President Trump and his crew. Still has been a die-hard Knicks fan. He kept tweeting the whole game that Saturday night. The timing lined up bad with the chaos at the Black Tie events, where a gunman fired a shotgun and clipped one secret service agent who got released, from the hospital quick. Republicans jumped on it fast. Congresswoman Nancy Mase head back with, got what done. Richard Grinnell just dropped WTF. X users piled on, slamming the timing as insane, and even accusing Stiller's side of pushing violence against political foes. The shooter turned out to be 31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen from California, hit with fire
arms and assault charges, arraigned Monday. Acting A.G. Todd Blanche said the guy targeted Trump and cabinet members, no serious injuries, but the dinner got scrapped. Trump praised the secret service and cops for shutting it down, swift, posting they'd let law enforcement call the shots on restarting. Hell night in DC, but security held the line.
