Bill Cosby Posts A Father's Day Message As 'America's Dad' – And Twitter Is Not Feeling It
Celebrity dads everywhere joined in on the social media fun for Father's Day, and incarcerated Bill Cosby refused to be excluded.
The former sitcom star, who is currently serving time after being found guilty on three counts of aggravated indecent assault in 2018, recently took to social media to send a message to his followers. In short, he sought to remind everyone that he is "America's Dad" — a title that has since soured with time, for many.
"Hey, Hey, Hey...It's America's Dad," he captioned an old clip of him talking about the history of slavery and racism in America. "I know it's late, but to all of the Dads... It's an honor to be called a Father, so let's make today a renewed oath to fulfilling our purpose — strengthening our families and communities."
Take a look, below:
Many of the reactions to the post — which was initially uploaded to his Instagram account — saw folks airing out their disgust, with some urging him to take a close look in the mirror.
