"Avengers" screenwriter Joss Whedon is being criticized for comparing Ivanka Trump to a dog, reports the New York Daily News.
Whedon, who has publicly spoken out against President Donald Trump and his policies, took to Twitter Tuesday to rip into Jared Kushner, Ivanka's husband, and in the process belittled Ivanka.
In the Tweet Whedon said Kushner was "a Voldemort in training, & unlike the Pekingese he married under, can play the long game."
Many on social media weren't happy with his name-calling, saying the comment lacked class and was beneath an artist of his standing.
Whedon's comments come after he made fun of actress Nicole Kidman for urging the public to support and accept Donald Trump as president.
