Tim Allen Attacked By Fans After Posting Controversial Political Tweet

Tim Allen, known for his roles in the "Toy Story" and "Santa Claus" franchises, as well as for his television show, "Home Improvement", has always been someone in the spotlight who is not afraid to voice his political views.

Allen's latest Tweet, however, is causing backlash for the actor as social media is attacking the 69-year-old actor.

The "Toy Story" actor is known for voicing his political views, but his recent Tweet is receiving quite the backlash. Last night, September 19, Allen wrote, "Biden was on 60 minutes. I heard he asked how long the show was."

The Tweet has received over 85,000 likes and 10,000 ReTweets. "Tim Allen" is now trending on Twitter.

Many users are coming forward, replying to Allen's Tweet, or tagging the actor in their own Tweet. It is clear that fans are not happy with the "Toy Story" actor after he seemingly mocked President Joe Biden.

One Twitter user wrote, "And this, kids, is why Tim Allen isn’t the voice of Buzz Lightyear anymore. He’s gone full Scott Baio. Or is it Kevin Sorbo? Meh, what’s the difference. 🤷‍♂️"

Another Twitter user called out Allen for being ignorant. "That's fine, our President asked a legit question, 60 minutes has never been a 60-minute show. If Tim Allen thinks he is mocking our president, the joke is on him being really ignorant," the user wrote.

This is something Piyush Mittal also voiced when he Tweeted, "Tim Allen may be the only moron who doesn’t know that 60 minutes isn’t really 60 minutes long 🤦‍♂️."

Others are now calling for Disney to stop recasting Tim Allen, pointing out that the company recently announced the actor would reprise his role as Scott Calvin/Santa Claus in the upcoming Disney+ project, "The Santa Clauses."

The Santa Clauses will debut exclusively on Disney+ on November 16, 2022.

Tim Allen provided his voice to the lovable Disney-Pixar character, Buzz Lightyear, in four different films. Tom Hanks (Woody), Don Rickles (Mr. Potato Head), Jim Varney (Slinky Dog), Wallace Shawn (Rex), John Ratzenberger (Hamm), and Annie Potts (Bo Peep), also provided their voices for the franchise.

Disney recently produced another film called “Lightyear”, which was a prequel to the “Toy Story” films and told the story of Buzz Lightyear, but the character was voiced by Chris Evans, and not Tim Allen.

Many believe the reason Disney has not rehired Allen to the "Toy Story" franchise is because of politics, as Allen’s views don’t align with most of Hollywood, but that has not been confirmed.

In a previous interview, Allen's co-star, Tom Hanks spoke out regarding the “Lightyear” producers' decision to cast Evans instead of Allen. He admitted to wanting to do a sequel with his longtime friend and co-star, but “they didn’t let Tim Allen do it.” Hanks said, “I don’t understand that.”
