As Vaughn and Trump shook hands, Neil Diamond’s “Sweet Caroline” boomed through the stadium. It was a lighthearted tweet, seemingly meant partly as a tongue-in-cheek reference to the song’s reputation as a stadium anthem, once relegated to Boston Red Sox games but now expanding its reach, that people seem to either love or hate. Burke has tweeted about “Sweet Caroline” multiple times before, and he’s also repeatedly posted clips of celebrities talking to Trump. In a Twitter direct message, he said: “It’s like the gestalt of a celebrity gladhanding with Trump while ‘Sweet Caroline’ is playing at the COLLEGE FOOTBALL NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP that makes the entire thing so miserable.” He even added the words “All of it, every part of it” to his caption as a clue that people should watch the clip with the volume on.

Burke’s Twitter mentions began to fill with people angry at him for being “outraged” about Vince Vaughn shaking hands with Trump. It didn’t seem to matter that Burke wasn’t actually upset. Yes, there were some people unaware that Vaughn is a self-described libertarian who regularly endorses Republican candidates for office who were surprised by this news. Yes, several even tweeted that this changed their opinion of him or that they’d no longer watch his movies because of it.

But the people actually outraged about the clip seemed to be conservatives angry at Burke.

You’ll note that nowhere in his tweet did Burke call for anyone to be “canceled,” nor did he express anger. It was a joke. That didn’t stop right-wingers from having a complete and total meltdown over it.

“Oh no, cue the Apocalypse! Let’s all have a nervous breakdown because he -- for the love of God! -- shook hands with the president!” tweeted Fox News host Jedediah Bila. “Seriously, if this bothers you, seek professional help. And quickly. The end.”

“OMG the humanity! This is terrible! We must all now hate Vince Vaughn! You would have done great under Stalin,” wrote conservative columnist and torture proponent Marc Thiessen.
