On Wednesday, November 23, Joss Whedon fired off some tweets, angered by the way many Americans are treating others during Thanksgiving week.
Replying to Mark Ruffalo’s tweet about how Native Americans protesting the Dakota Access Pipeline are reportedly being tear-gassed, the “Avengers” director stated that “history is repeating itself” and that the US wins “Worst Country.”
Boy history is repeating itself all OVER this land. We win Worst Country. https://t.co/twPPZ8Bml1

The filmmaker then wrote another message saying, “Your people are hungry? Here, this is corn. You pull off the husk and you shove it right up your ass’ -Native Americans, if only they’d known.”

The day before, Whedon also wrote several tweets after news circulated that Hillary Clinton’s popular vote lead was now over two million, according to an ongoing tally by the Cook Political Report’s David Wasserman. The filmmaker, known for supporting the Democratic nominee and releasing a slew of PSAs encouraging people to vote, wrote that Clinton should “demand an audit.”

He also claimed that Donald Trump’s team rigged the election and urged people to call their representatives.
The crafty move was forcing the Dems to debunk voter fraud, so when the Trump/Putin cabal ACTUALLY COMMITTED it, we'd sound hypocritical

2/2
FOR: we need FACTS, before they're a lost language
