Needless to say, many patriotic Twitter users took offense to the comment — and soon, hate tweets were gallantly streaming towards the actor.
Though the comedian wasn’t very bothered by the backlash, and swiftly reminded his Twitics that jokes — unlike fireworks, in some states — weren’t illegal. He replied:

A joke some took too personally. So what. Jokes aren’t illegal.

He even brushed off the saltier responses with a smile:

Thanks Jason 🙂 . Will do 🙂 ├░┼╕╦£╦£

Oh, America… the land of the free, and the home of the easily outraged.
