American Comedian Gets Trolled for His Kashmir Tweet

American comedian Jeremy McLellan found himself in a controversy after he came out in support of Kashmir recently.

Last week, McLellan tweeted about Indian state terrorism on the occasion of Kashmir Solidarity Day, and he found himself at the receiving end of a lot of backlash from Indians, who have called him everything from an "ISI agent" to a "creepy white dog."


Since then it has been an eventful journey for McLellan. The April 6 tweet was his first tweet on Kashmir. The comedian is vocal on social media on issues of human rights violations across the world.
“I’ve received hundreds of comments and messages from Indians accusing me of supporting terrorism and being paid by the ISI since I posted my tweet,” McLellan told News18.
“This sort of stuff happens a lot. Anything related to Palestine or Myanmar gets a lot of hate. But that’s expected. I think this was my first tweet on the Kashmiri issue. Within hours I started receiving unprecedented hate from Indians on Twitter,” he said.

Although he did not anticipate the hatred that one tweet would bring forth, McLellan said he has learned to accept that trolling is part of social media culture.

This is not the first time McLellan has been accused of being too partial to Pakistan, a country that's close to his heart. The Charleston, South Carolina based comedian toured the country last year and instantly fell in love with everything Pakistan has to offer.

“I’ve wanted to come to Pakistan for years because of how many good friends and fans I have who are Pakistani and Pakistani-American. Also, I love the chai here! It’s nothing like when you buy it in the US,” McLellan told The Express Tribune last year. “I finally got the chance to come when my dear friend Dr Sultan Chaudhry told me about his humanitarian mission in Islamabad, with a team of dental professionals. I jumped at the chance to join their team and also do shows in Pakistan at the same time.”
