Celebrities react to first presidential debate
It seems like all of America was watching the first presidential debate on Monday night, and that includes some very vocal celebrities like James Woods and Shonda Rhimes.
Stars took to Twitter to air their grievances or express their support regarding Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.
Woods tweeted up a storm of anti-Clinton posts, and said Saudi Arabia “owns” the candidate. He also slammed NBC.
Are you talking about people you once called "super-predators," Mrs. Clinton? #racist

Hey, lady, stop taxing people to death and support job creation. Inner city Americans need jobs!!!
— James Woods (@RealJamesWoods) September 27, 2016
He's right. Democrats care about the inner cities at election time. After that. Zero.

Who cares about #Obama's birth certificate? Who cares? Terrorism, immigration, economy.

Oh, Honey, Saudi Arabia? Really? They OWN you.

#NBC is so biased it's funny actually.

On Tuesday morning, Woods posted several tweets of polls showing that Trump “won” the debate.
Actress Stacey Dash praised Trump’s “law and order” comment.
Bring back law and order!! Yes!!

More celebrities voiced their support for Clinton on Twitter during the debate than they did for Trump. Or rather, more stars trashed Trump than they did praise him.
Hillary: "I am prepared, educated and informed."

I've never in my lifetime seen babbling incoherence on a Presidential debate stage like Trump is displaying tonight. I'm in a nightmare.
— Seth MacFarlane (@SethMacFarlane) September 27, 2016
He should blow his nose. He’s already blown the debate. #Debates

Some celebs focused on the moderator instead. Ann Coulter criticized Holt and his questions.
Great that debate covered Trump's taxes, income, father, '72 lawsuit, remarks as a reality tv star...& didn't waste any time on immigration.
— Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) September 27, 2016
Patricia Heaton was one of the celebrities who couldn’t pick a side during the debate.
In good conscience I can't vote for either of these two...#Debates2016
