Susan Sarandon and Debra Messing go to war on Twitter over Trump

A lot of people took exception to Susan Sarandon's comments earlier this week about the possibility of voting for Donald Trump should Bernie Sanders not get the Democratic nomination -- a lot of people including Debra Messing.

The "Mysteries of Laura" star was so taken aback by Sarandon's suggestions that she felt compelled to comment on it, tweeting, "Susan Sarandon muses tht Trump prezcy wud b better 4 the country thn Hillary.Wonder if she'd say that if she were poor,gay,Muslim or immgrnt."

The thing about being a celebrity on Twitter, of course, is that other celebrities on Twitter can see what you say about them -- and react, as Sarandon did.

The two actresses soon found themselves in a war of tweets, with comrades Kathy Najimy and Rosie O'Donnell joining in.

But before long, Messing found herself fending off attacks from Sarandon's fans and Bernie Sanders supporters more than Sarandon herself. But then that's the price you pay when you go to war on Twitter.
