Jim Carrey's Sarah Sanders painting creates a controversy, but have you seen his Donald Trump?

Every day there’s something new to get outraged over, and Jim Carrey’s artwork seems to be today’s favorite.
While the Mask actor didn’t call out President Trump’s White House press secretary, Sarah Sanders, by name, many Twitter users noticed that his new painting, shared on Saturday, is very obviously a monsterized version of her. The caption described his subject as a “so-called Christian,” clearly looking to incite some drama (remember: 70 percent of Americans are Christian), and stated that her job is to be a professional liar.
And attacks on Carrey’s own character. (Most of them stem from accusations made by his late girlfriend Cathriona White’s family in their wrongful death lawsuit against him after she committed suicide in 2015. The lawsuit was thrown out — and Carrey was cleared — in February.)Carrey didn’t seem to care. He posted this — Donald Trump as the Wicked Witch of the West — as a follow-up on Monday.
We’ll go ahead and point out that this is just one of many Carrey originals bashing Trump and his team that the actor, 56, has shared in the last year-plus. Here are some others — and we’d argue that some are potentially more controversial, though none called anyone “anti-Christian,” which obviously gets people fired up.

1. Trump dragging a woman by the hair in front of the White House in the wake of the Rob Porter domestic violence scandal.

2. Trump playing golf on a course covered with the bodies of dead school children in the wake of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting.

3. Sen. Marco Rubio with blood on his hands after the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting.

4. Trump kissing Putin’s bare bottom amid all those reports of the president’s ties to Russia and the country funding his campaign win.

5. Carrey’s take on Trump’s endorsement of arming teachers as a result of the latest mass shootings.

6. “Fool” Steve Bannon supporting Roy Moore, who was accused by many women of sexual misconduct.

7. “Creep” Rep. Paul Ryan for the health care debacle.

8. “Rat” Rep. Trey Gowdy, who led the Benghazi inquiry against Hillary Clinton.
