Actress Debra Messing is best known for playing Grace in the hit NBC comedy Will & Grace.

The show was wildly successful years ago and recently was rereleased with the same cast including Messing’s co-star Eric McCormack.The new season has been called the “social justice” season, so it’s no surprise that it’s already been canceled.

McCormack got into a backlash on Twitter after calling all Hollywood Trump supporters to be exposed:

Hey, @THR, kindly report on everyone attending this event, so the rest of us can be clear about who we don’t wanna work with. Thx.

And then Messing tweeted out backing up McCormack’s tweet:

“Please print a list of all attendees, please. The public has a right to know.”

This created a backlash of people calling the co-stars “McCarthyists”:

Should Hollywood hold hearings to investigate suspected Trump supporters? – John Levine

Is everyone involved with Will and Grace a deranged McCarthyist, or is it just you two?

Boy that tolerance and inclusivity sure went out the window, huh?

Ted Cruz chimed in with:

“Tolerant Hollywood: “Burn them! Burn the witches!!”

Staunch Hollywood conservative Dean Cain tweeted out:

“I’m not attending, because I’ll be out of town. Otherwise, I’d have been happy to attend.” 

President Trump is scheduled to have a Hollywood fundraiser in September.
