Comcibook.com reports that comedian and filmmaker Bobcat Goldthwait criticized Disney for firing Guardians of the Galaxy writer-director James Gunn. Goldthwait says he was attacked by ?right-wing extremist trolls? for being outspoken against President Donald Trump and his administration.
Goldthwait said during a visit to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, ?Here?s the thing. I love James, he?s a great man. These are tweets that weren?t funny years ago, and he?s apologized for them years and years ago, they?re decades old. If we?re going to start punishing artists and creative people for what they said 10, 20 years ago, and have apologized [for] ? we?re not gonna have anybody left.?
