In anticipation of the “fuck your feelings” crowd attacking her for being disrespectful, let me remind you Trump’s entire platform is built on attacking and disrespecting anyone going against him.… pic.twitter.com/Uj44clhtyf

Be on the lookout if you see this rotten fat bitch as she is highly toxic and is rumored to have the power of extinguishing a persons manhood. Mr Burr lost his! pic.twitter.com/lCLUZZUvfe

Half of Twitter absolutely loved her for the obscene gesture and the other half thought she was disrespectful to Trump.
But days later, she's still the topic of discussion.

Ben Shapiro dedicated an entire segment to talk about her.
Journalist Laura Loomer decided to call body shame her as a way to discredit her.
"Why is Bill Burr married to this?" she tweeted. "Isn’t he a millionaire? Lol. If you’re a millionaire, prioritize your health and get a personal trainer. There is no excuse for rich people to be severely obese and unhealthy. If you have money, prioritize your health."

Of course that didn't go over well with fans who jumped in to defend her.

Bill Burr once viciously roasted all of Philadelphia IN Philly at one of his shows. Shat all over their teams, food, icons, everything, and everyone. For *13 minutes* non-stop. Absolutely brutal. Ruthlessly relentless.

And you're gonna go after his wife on Twitter.
Conservatives crying over Bill Burr’s wife just makes me like him even more

The “Bill Burr’s career is over because his wife flipped Trump off!” crowd is truly hilarious. They must not be familiar with Bill Burr. At all.

We just see Bill Burr’s wife flip him off. The truth is, millions of people either flip Donald Trump off, or think about flipping him off every single day.

He's a self proclaimed liberal who supports gun control and abortion rights but was outspoken about bout Trump and Hilary Clinton during the 2016 election.
In a 2019 interview with Forbes, Burr talked about the irony of cancel culture making him more famous.
"It’s all money-based. That’s why it’s funny to be a comic right now, because it’s just like . . . all of these stupid people who are acting outraged about jokes," he said. "It’s literally in the news feeds that carry these stories. First of all, acting as though everybody is just paralyzed by jokes. “Oh my God, I can’t believe this comedian told this joke!” Meanwhile, I’m at the grocery store, I can’t even pick out apples now. It's so ridiculous."
