While he faced backlash for his comments, one Hollywood celebrity did not hold back as he cleverly clapped back at the politician.
John Stamos claps back at Omar Navarro
Known for his controversial opinions on the LGBTQ+ community and their representation in modern media, Omar Navarro took to his Twitter to openly criticize Disney for introducing a queer character named Artie in their new reboot movie, Cruella. The politician who is running for the seat of California’s 43rd congressional district tweeted that Disney 'ruined his childhood after presenting an openly flamboyant gay character in the movie and accused Disney of 'shoving the LGBT agenda down the viewers' throat'. Take a look!
The new Disney Cruella with Emma Stone just ruined my childhood with an openly flamboyant gay in the movie.

Disney persist shoving the LGBT agenda down our throat.
Full House actor John Stamos decided to clap back at the politician and tweeted 'If that ruined your childhood, I hope you didn’t watch Full House'. He continued, 'Three single men, living under one roof, raising kids in San Francisco…'. The actor referred to his famous show Full House, where he played the role of Jesse Katsopolis who was raising his niece with two other men.

It was needless to say that Omar Navarro's comments did not sit well with many people. While some people were happy to see John Stamos in Cruella's support, they took the matter into their own hands and tried to take down the politician's account. The politician responded to it by tweeting that such attempts over his freedom of speech were wrong. In another tweet, the politician snidely asked John Stamos to join politics to get better roles in movies.
Attempts to cancel my twitter account for expressing my freedom of speech is wrong. If you disagree with me. I’m here to debate in any public forum. pic.twitter.com/zWr2B0FsZm
