Olivia Munn has begun an outrage among liberals based on the reporting from someone at the Met Gala who paraphrased her comments about the crusades.
She deleted the tweet, but I got a screenshot:
What got people freaking out is that she said that she “loved the Crusades.” And why wouldn’t you?! It was a glorious defense of Western Civilization against barbarism and blasphemy!! But you can’t say that kind of stuff anymore, no matter how true it is.
Later, the reported explained what she actually meant:
But it was too late, liberals were already imploding in stupid anger all over the internets:
My brain is not processing this. Her love of the crusades? So like, her love of horrendous bloodshed, annihilation of ancient cities and a religious war that sought to destroy irreparably the cultural fabric of the Middle East? Ah right, ok. https://t.co/6erKPRSNKw

I'm guessing Olivia Munn said she was inspired by the Crusades because "decades of religious-based pillaging and murder" is too long to roll easily off the tongue.

"Whoops, I glorified the Crusades" was not one of the squares I personally expected to check on this Obviously A Bad Idea Met Gala theme, so congrats for getting somebody out there an unexpected bingo, Olivia Munn
