Jerry Seinfeld, Donald Trump's Tweet War: Safe to say, Jerry won't be voting for the Donald (1129 hits)
The New York Post reports that the comedian pulled out of an event benefitting the St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital that Trump's son Eric is hosting in September because of his distaste for the billionaire businessman/TV host's aggressive questioning of President Obama's birth certificate and citizenship.
"I just learned you canceled a show for my son's charity," Trump wrote to Seinfeld in a letter obtained by the Post, "because of the fact that I am being very aggressive with respect to President Obama, who is doing an absolutely terrible job as our leader."
In a statement to the Post, a Seinfeld rep said, "Jerry... feels this kind of demagoguery has no place in public discourse... He has respectfully withdrawn from the event, and is making a contribution both to the Eric Trump Foundation and to [St. Jude]."
