Actor Jim Carrey's latest piece of artwork bears an eerie resemblance to the White House press secretary, the New York Daily News reported.
“This is the portrait of a so-called Christian whose only purpose in life is to lie for the wicked,” Carrey wrote on Twitter, posting a photo of his drawing, which depicts an angry woman with dark hair and pointed eyebrows.
Carrey ended the tweet with the exclamation, “Monstrous!”

According to Twitter users, it didn’t take Ace Ventura to figure out that Carrey’s drawing bore a strong resemblance to White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
There was plenty of negative reaction to Carrey’s tweet.
“And this is a portrait (of) a has-been who hasn't put out a decent movie in 15 years,” one man tweeted, posting a picture of Carrey.
“Another political Entertainer. Down the drain,” read another tweet.
And this is the picture if a has-been, who hasn't put out a decent movie in 15 years: pic.twitter.com/ZDQJ4AXysR

And this is one more reason that I'm done with Hollywood. It's ok to be mean and hurtful as long as it's to someone you disagree with, right? Btw, this is a classic example of bullying. But again, it's ok as long as it's someone you disagree with, right?

Could you go back to being Fire Marshall Bill and stay out of politics? It's hard to watch a comedian who decides to demean people for political reasons. I'm guessing you've never even met this lady. Use your voice to help people, not hurt them. The painting is horrible.

There were some tweeters who jumped to Carrey’s defense:
All you people upset over this picture but yet could careless & laugh when the president puts down anyone he feels is a threat to him. To me this shows the real her, the snarky, condescending, self-righteous person she is....of this was a picture of Obama she would be loving it
