Alyssa Milano slammed for extending 'olive branch' to Donald Trump supporters: 'Hell no to those deplorables'

'I’d like to extend an olive branch to Trump supporters. I am ready to move #ForwardTogether. There’s so much work to do to heal the nation. Let’s be a part of the solution and not add to the problems we face,' Alyssa Milano said

Actress Alyssa Milano, who famously raised her voice against President Donald Trump for the last four years and later endorsed the Biden-Harris campaign in the bid to stop the 45th president of the United States from getting a second term, recently got slammed by liberals. The backlash on Twitter came after the actress suggested that she would like to extend an "olive branch" to Trump supporters after their candidate lost the 2020 election. "I’d like to extend an olive branch to Trump supporters. I am ready to move #ForwardTogether. There’s so much work to do to heal the nation. Let’s be a part of the solution and not add to the problems we face. My comments are open. Please reply with #ForwardTogether," she wrote on Twitter, adding in a second tweet, "We’re going to need a lot of humility and compassion right now. Anger and triumphalism is less helpful."

Since the president had not even conceded the election to President-elect Joe Biden till now, still believing that he can overturn the outcome of the race in his favor, Democrats were less than happy about the fact that Milano was ready to forgive the Trump supporters and willing to work side by side them in the future. "No, thanks! I won't do that until Trump and his enablers are in jail. After that, I'll try to forgive Trump supporters, and to educate them," one user said, while another noted, "It's ok to work with his supporters. His enablers are a different matter. If Biden forgives them, the message will be clear: some people are above the law, no matter what they do. And that is unacceptable in a democracy."

A third commented, "Repentance must come before forgiveness." Someone else remarked, "Can't forgive what they aren't sorry for.... it's a no for me." The next opined, "Hell no to those deplorables." "Nope maga is destructive and dangerous. No mercy," one more user noted. Another added, "Being a trans lesbian, many of these folk dispute my right to exist in the world, no branches here."

One user said, "Nooo. Sorry, not able for it. Olive branch to people who acknowledge they have no interest in facts or democracy." Another wrote, "@Alyssa_Milano... We’re still fighting with #Trump2020 Honey.... NO ONE had conceded. We don’t see one in the future. We’re all getting all and working well together - not one fire, fight, car destroyed, nothing!! Pretty civil and composed! Anxious, but okay, thanks!" Someone else commented, "No you can't reason wt crazy. Its impossible. Only real Republicans would be ok not these radicals. What's scary is there are so many of them! I will not make the first move that's on them."

Despite using her platform for political debate, Milano never garnered a huge fan-following with her political standing. The actress-turned activist's views never exactly won hearts, especially now, at a time where most political positions are filled by celebrities and celebrities are starting to turn towards a political career. We previously reported back in April that she was slammed for endorsing Biden's run for the presidency in the wake of sexual-misconduct allegations against him, especially because she is among those that advocated the #MeToo movement after the Weinstein allegations emerged.
