CNN’s Chris Cillizza had this critique:
This is a beautiful portrait. It looks very little like Michelle Obama pic.twitter.com/1CsRrWIJtN

Watch out, everybody! Obama fans were NOT happy:
This is a shitty tweet. It looks very much like a Cillizza tweet. https://t.co/na4ydwnUBq

At first I thought this was just poorly worded but then he compared this to a picture of Brad Pitt as his portrait. So he really was taking a cheap shot at Michelle Obama. Cillizza is an idiot creep. https://t.co/T5u1vMuZYK

Why do you employ this disgusting man?
What about his comment is OK with you?
You have a serious problem with a man like @CillizzaCNN who would put a comment like this on Twitter.
If you want to be Fox news, fine. Just admit it. https://t.co/xEy6JizyAA— (((Hillary Winner))) (@HillaryWinner) February 12, 2018
Don't throw shade on this first lady icon. The portrait is amazing. More importantly, so is she. https://t.co/dz6jwtsT3m

What a coincidence. @CillizzaCNN's profile photo looks very little like an authentic political reporter. Oh. Right. That's because he's not one. https://t.co/yts5n9PimE

You must be so proud of all the racist replies you've got here. You little shit. https://t.co/twT19ykaXa

This ugly tweet, clearly demonstrates that don't resemble a competent journalist. Your resentment also makes you seem very little. https://t.co/RPLk2sSuaT

Ladies and gentlemen, I present Chris Cillizza, art critic.
And it turns out that he's as bad at that as he is at political commentary. So sad. https://t.co/wxciPCsN9d

Congratulations, dude. Every day you discover a new way to demonstrate that you're a fatuous boob. https://t.co/TxRwDxxLE4

Your political views are usually just wrong, but your comments on this artist's rendering of Michelle Obama are contemptible.

Cillizza never had so many likes to a tweet, and the swamp of racism in the replies is bottomless. This guy makes me sick. https://t.co/twT19ykaXa
