I knew Jim Carrey was a great comedic actor, but I never realized he was such a good artist, as well. That is, until he posted a portrait of Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Donald Trump’s very own Joseph Goebbels, to Twitter.
Should have sent a poet…
In an hilarious turn of events, Carrey’s portrait, which I think is about as flattering as you can expect, angered some of the more unhinged members of the right wing.

The “Great Awakening” hashtag is a mélange of insane conspiracy theories. Here’s a representative tweet.
Bigotry is bigotry. Mocking a woman, mother and Christian does not elevate you. Quite the opposite. You’ve used your platform to harm. You used to bring joy into people’s homes. Into my little girls heart. I’m very disappointed in your behavior.

Good point about bigotry, woman with “Deplorable” in her handle.
Of course, most people loved Carrey’s painting of the Disinformation Minister.
Jim, that is one hideously scary painting! It also looks exactly like her! Well done, 🌟🌟🌟

I really like the gif of her morphing into Uncle Fester, it just works so well. Really captures the way she always has one eye closed like she’s got some sort of nervous twitch when she lies and she’s literally always lying.
Jim’s protrait went over so well that he followed it up with another one.
I love it. I kind of want a print of it to hang in my foyer. But it kind of makes me not want to see Wicked for some reason.
