Ben Stiller ruffled some feathers with his celebratory tweet after the Knicks evened their first-round playoff series with a 114-98 Game 4 victory over the Hawks on Saturday night.
The actor wrote “Got it done,” in a post on X and some misinterpreted it as a reaction to the shooting that took place at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner around the same time as the game ended.
Congresswoman Nancy Mace responded to Stiller’s post with, “Got what done?”
Mace’s post was flagged with Community Notes from X, which stated, “He was rooting on the Knicks to win their game against the Atlanta Hawks”
Stiller’s remark came as he was already live-tweeting during the game.
However, some believed it was a dig as he’s been a vocal critic of President Trump.
Stiller, who is a die-hard Knicks fan, has yet to address the matter directly.
Stiller was on Celebrity Row for the Knicks’ 107-106 Game 2 loss to the Hawks at Madison Square Garden.
