For some inexplicable, illogical and presumptuous reason, people assumed that Bradley Cooper was a Republican after he played the leading role of Navy SEAL Chris Kyle in 2014’s American Sniper. That’s like saying you’re pissed that Christoph Waltz isn’t actually a Nazi after starring in Inglourious Basterds, or that you’re mad about how Elijah Wood isn’t actually a hobbit.
And yet here we have Twitter Republicans, flipping out over the fact that Bradley Cooper attended the DNC:

Bradley Cooper's eyes are too pretty for a liberal. SMH. Everybody at the DNC should have glowing red eyes.

Unsurprisingly, people started hopping all over anyone claiming to be pissed about Cooper’s political affiliation:
Conservatives getting mad at Bradley Cooper's DNC appearance really shows how stupid they really are.

So I hear republicons are so outraged over Bradley Cooper's DNC appearance they've petitioned the Pentagon to kick him out of the military

Conservatives are boycotting Bradley Cooper for being at the #DNC. America is boycotting Scott Baio for having the career of Scott Baio.

Bradley Cooper catching hell for being at the DNC Convention? Really??
Go to bed Twitter, you're delirious with stupidity right now.

Actual humans are mad at Bradley Cooper, an actor, for being at DNC because he once acted in a movie they liked. Okay, then.

Dying laughing at conservatives being angry Bradley Cooper was at the DNC. American Sniper really had you guys convinced he was Republican?
