“I stood up- just not on [cue] – like an Obedient pet,” Cusack tweeted.
And when he started getting attacked on social media as not being supportive of the troops, he wasn’t taking it lying down.
“Bulls–t -you don’t support troops more than me,” the actor replied. “I want them to come home – a—–e.”
He then turned his attack towards supporters of President Donald Trump.
“I didn’t stand up for Boeing military salute – fast enough for some maga f–k,” Cusack wrote, before calling them “Flag sucking halfwits – maga deathkkkult freaks.”
Later, CWBChicago sent a second tweet about Cusack’s prime seats,”…I guess when you have seats this good, you may as well sit in them.”
