After the screenshot surfaced online, Cusack was flooded with hundreds of tweets from people upset by his message.
“Cusack absolutely threatened the president! Liberals are competing now on ways they can threaten the president’s life and get away with it,” wrote Twitter user Lori Hendry.
“Yep… adding Cusack to my “never watch again” movie list. Big ego, big mouth,” wrote Twitter user Kathy Strauss.
Following the outrage, Cusack spent several hours sending dozens of tweets replying to people’s outrage and attempting to explain himself.
