Actress and comedian Jane Curtin said on CNN that her resolution for the new year is to βmake sure the Republican Party dies,β and people on Twitter had a lot to say about it.
During the cable networkβs live New Yearβs Eve broadcast, celebrities shared their 2019 resolutions. Terrence Howard said he hoped to βbreak down the entire economic global infrastructureβ while Lena Dunham said sheβd like βto kiss more gay men on the lips consensually.β
Curtin, in a now-viral clip, quipped about her desire for the demise of the GOP.
SAME!

The people tweeting how much they love Jane Curtin for saying this will be on back on twitter by the end of the week crying about hateful rhetoric from the right. Pathetic cycle of hypocrisy every single day from these people #JaneCurtin https://t.co/aEGueJumNA
