Actor Tom Arnold tweeted Hope Hicks’ “personal cell” number this week after she tested positive for COVID-19.
“I was being nice!” he claimed Thursday of the now-deleted tweet after receiving negative feedback.
Mr. Arnold, formerly of “The Hunt for the Trump Tapes” Viceland documentary, mocked Ms. Hicks diagnosis by goading over 265,000 followers to inundate her with messages.
“Silent thoughts & prayers aren’t enough for national treasure Hope Hicks,” he tweeted Thursday. “She needs to hear them.”
President Trump and first lady Melania have also tested positive in the last 24 hours.
“I think Rudy Giuliani and Trump Sr are the only 2 old enough to die. It is what it is,” he added.
The actor also relished in the negative feedback by sharing a Fox News story on his actions.
A sampling of responses in his Twitter feed include:
- “You are utterly disgusting and I hope you are arrested.
- “There’s a difference between fighting back and sinking to, or beneath, their level.”
- “I don’t rock with this administration but that’s f—d up.”
- “I can’t stand any of them, but doxxing is not okay not even to people as loathsome as the Trump entourage.”
- “I’m a Biden voter and I’m reporting you [to Twitter] for [harassment]. Reprehensible.”
- “Looks as though, regardless of political affiliation, people think Tom is the lowest form of life. Finally something we can all agree on.”
Supporters of the liberal activist’s behavior said it was patriotic and “hilarious.”
