Watch: President Obama Reads Mean Tweets, Video Goes Viral
President Barack Obama reads mean tweets about himself on Jimmy Kimmel Live, video goes viral in under 12 hours.
Comedian Jimmy Kimmel has hosted dozens of celebrities reading mean tweets about themselves. One edition included Gwyneth Paltrow, Lena Dunham, Gerard Butler, Ty Burrell, Bob Newhart, Britney Spears, Geena Davis, Chris Pratt, Chloe Grace Moretz, Scott Foley, Michael Chiklis, Ted Danson, John Stamos, Lisa Kudrow and Adam Sandler.
But last night on Jimmy Kimmel Live, it was just President Obama reading mean tweets about himself.
Since he is the President, Kimmel’s choice of tweets was far more respectful, than say, this selection.
And the video has gone viral, earning well over a half-million views in under 12 hours.
Watch:
“Thanks Obama.”
