"Avengers" director Joss Whedon went after President Trump's daughter Ivanka Trump, likening her to a Pekingese dog and called her husband Jared Kushner a "Voldemort in training."
The filmmaker tweeted alongside a picture of Kushner, "Hey, keep your eyes on this f--king prize too. He's a Voldemort in training, & unlike the Pekingese he married under, can play the long game."
Fans immediately called out the self-proclaimed feminist Whedon for comparing Ivanka Trump to a a breed of small, yappy dogs.
.@joss, are you okay? You seem to be coming quite unhinged. https://t.co/NA4EzFDCk1

@joss Just so we're on the same page here. You just called Ivanka a dog because you don't agree with Trump. Classy.

@joss Joss, what happened to you? What caused you to become so hateful?

@joss Maybe next time just come out and say "bitch". You ain't fooling anyone with "Pekingese". Is this how you fight for women's rights?

Whedon's tweet comes not long after he slammed Nicole Kidman for urging people to support the President and accept the election results. He shared a picture of Kidman next to a Lady Penelope doll to make fun of her "plastic" appearance.

He also brought things to a new level when he took to Twitter earlier this month with a profane, violent message about House Speaker Paul Ryan.
"Violence solves nothing. I want a rhino to f--k @SpeakerRyan to death with its horn because it's FUNNY, not because he's a #GOPmurderbro," Whedon, best known for creating "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "Firefly" and "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." tweeted.
