'The View' hosts knock President Trump for honoring Rush Limbaugh during SOTU address
Whoopi Goldberg says she's sorry that Rush Limbaugh has cancer, but thought the Presidential Medal of Freedom was supposed to go to people that 'actually did stuff.'
The U.S. Senate voted to acquit President Trump on both articles of impeachment against him Wednesday afternoon following a brief trial.
Much like they did during Trump's State of the Union address on Tuesday night, Hollywood stars took to social media to share their opinions on the news.
Whether they're critics or supporters, there were plenty of reactions to the acquittal.

No words were needed for Kid Rock, who simply shared a photo of himself with Trump, 75, shortly after the voting ended.
"National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" star Randy Quaid shared his excitement on Twitter, sharing a photo of himself pointing at the news headline reading: "Trump acquitted." The photo is accompanied by several thumbs-up emojis.
On the other hand, there were those disappointed by the news.

"So a widespread coverup blocked a bi-partisan(!) vote to convict @realDonaldTrump and bounce him out of the WH as he rightly deserves," wrote actor Jeffrey Wright. "BI-PARTISAN. Pure corruption."

By a final vote of 52-48 against conviction on the abuse of power charge and 53-47 against conviction on the obstruction charge, the Senate fell far short of the two-thirds, 67-vote supermajority needed to convict and remove the president. Swing-vote Republican senators -- including Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Susan Collins of Maine, and Lamar Alexander of Tennessee -- voted to acquit on both counts.
