Related: About this forumTYT: Entourage Actor Posts 9/11 Memorial And Internet Goes Nuts
Entourages Adrian Grenier is facing criticism for something he posted on his social media account regarding 9/11. The actor posted a graphic honoring those who lost their life in the attacks and then the Iraqis who lost their lives in the subsequent Iraq War that had nothing to do with the attacks. He faced a lot of backlash so he deleted the post and made a new one of firefighters raising the flag at Ground Zero. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian (The Point) hosts of The Young Turks discuss.
What do you think of Greniers post? Was it the right thing to take it down? Let us know in the comments below.

On the fourteenth anniversary of September 11th, 2001 last Friday, Entourage actor Adrian Grenier marked the occasion with an Instagram post that remembered not only the American victims of the attacks but also the many more innocent Iraqis who were killed in the aftermath.
After apparently receiving a barrage of backlash from his fans, Grenier ultimately deleted the tweet, but has not acknowledged the issue on social media or elsewhere since.

which is what Grenier originally posted.

with dull-wittedness. Look at Trump's clown fantasy. I think the more incredible thing would've been to expect everyone would embrace this guy's statement. Look at the empty figureheads "we've" put in DC. No, this is/was the very sort of response I'd have expected.
