Whoa that set off a firestorm! There are many ways to skin a cat if the desire is there. Many roads lead to Rome — Kirstie Alley (@kirstiealley) August 19, 2016

What was it that set off a “firestorm”? Just actress Kirstie Alley calling out President Obama for taking his sweet time to get around to visiting flood-ravaged Louisiana:

Or on a golf course in Martha's Vineyard instead of in Louisiana? pic.twitter.com/YJukzqW8bz — Kirstie Alley (@kirstiealley) August 19, 2016

Ouch.

C'mon! sum of you sound like a bunch of coyotes on a kill! I see ur asshat timelines w ur nasty political comments! Good 4 just the goose? — Kirstie Alley (@kirstiealley) August 19, 2016

Gov. Edwards said on MSNBC, he advised Obama not to go so not to divert resources. RT @kirstiealley: Or golf course pic.twitter.com/U4DihHJz8x — Micah McCain (@MicahMcCain) August 19, 2016

Wouldn't stop me if I was Pres..I'd slip in the back door ..someway..or possibly do an on air PLEA https://t.co/Vkh3rH8Yoh — Kirstie Alley (@kirstiealley) August 19, 2016

@kirstiealley @MicahMcCain yes but you should defer to the governor and your on-the-ground resources. Not going doesn't equal don't care — Debbie Katz (@debkatz512) August 19, 2016

How bout an on air plea for volunteers and supplies and well..help? https://t.co/TBuxTqsHfg — Kirstie Alley (@kirstiealley) August 19, 2016

I thought Bush waited too long also! I was in Katrina on day 5 & I'm just a gorgeous actress :)THEY needed HELP! I didn't need an invitation — Kirstie Alley (@kirstiealley) August 19, 2016

@kirstiealley @MicahMcCain do you really think POTUS can 'slip into' a city????? You're smarter than that. — Scarebaby (@scarebaby) August 19, 2016

Yes I actually do..it's been done before https://t.co/Ak60KyE32Z — Kirstie Alley (@kirstiealley) August 19, 2016

@kirstiealley @MicahMcCain and also usually better to have aid groups discuss needs..worse when uncoordinated, unnecessary stuff gets sent — Debbie Katz (@debkatz512) August 19, 2016

Not my experience as immediate aid is needed immediately ..My help was never turned down except by 2 BIG groups https://t.co/96jIQMoLpK — Kirstie Alley (@kirstiealley) August 19, 2016

So what, he is coming next week anyway. Trump is here now. Taylor Swift gave a million dollars… What more can u do https://t.co/Tir1CbNMLR — Thomas Silvey (@formula1uberfan) August 19, 2016

@PeteCostanza84 @kirstiealley to sum up, I get the poor optics, but it's a stretch to say he doesn't care. Love him or hate him.. — Debbie Katz (@debkatz512) August 19, 2016

My point is..Do u think USA wants to C him playing golf while Louisiana is 20 feet under water & people R dying? https://t.co/jNJldU4eLU — Kirstie Alley (@kirstiealley) August 19, 2016

Fair question.
