Calls from conservative circles are mounting for American Pie actor Jason Biggs to lose his gig as the voice of Leonardo in Nickelodeon’s reboot of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in the wake of sexually suggestive tweets he made about Ann Romney and Janna Ryan.
Biggs tweeted Wednesday night that people were cheering because “Janna Ryan is showing her t*ts.”
Not to be outdone, the actor saved the worst for Ann Romney, for whom he tweeted: “How dare you ignore Ann Romney’s a**hole … I bet hers is unbleached and hairy.”
His misogynistic tweets are the latest in a series of crude Twitter attacks on Republicans by Hollywood celebrities. It would seem that calls by those on the left for civility exclude attacks from liberals against Republicans, and the feminist National Organization for Women has been silent about the comments.
National Review Online Editor-at-large Jonah Goldberg responded to Biggs’ vulgarity, suggesting that he deserves to be fired more than the Yahoo! News’s former bureau chief David Chalian, who was caught on audio by ABC News saying Romney was happy to have a party while black people are drowning.
But Biggs refused to apologize on Thursday, continuing his bigoted remarks and vulgarities, slamming Christians following Clint Eastwood’s monologue with an invisible Barack Obama.
“Clint Eastwood talking to a non-responsive stool sorta sums up Christianity in a nutshell, huh Republicans?” Biggs tweeted.
His tweets raise the question of the appropriateness of having someone like Biggs as a role model for children, as conservative activist Phil Kerpen pointed out in a tweet: “[He] has no place on a children’s channel. We’ll stick to Sprout.”
Conservative blogger Michelle Malkin jumped further into the fray on Saturday, calling for a boycott of the advertisers of Biggs’ program, while denouncing his having had deleted the incriminating tweets.
Biggs responded to the criticism Friday, tweeting: “To everyone freaking out about my tweets: you know i put my **** in a pie, right?”
To think that I watched this guy in American Pie. What a pig. He needs to keep putting his D in pies and his mouth shut because hmmm it seems no one pays you to think just to put your body parts in random objects. Crude I know however he thinks he is funny. Its not. Grow up Jason I think you fan base has passed you on the growing up part because american pie reunion sucked!
It is very revealing that any part of society would accept this type of behavior. It is starkly crude and shows the ignorance of this man. Where is WOW in all this? What a disgrace. Nick is out of my house until Biggs is out of Nick’s employ.
DON’T give your money to people like this… IF YOU DON’T KNOW.. research.. thats how everyone else finds out… stop PAYING THEIR WAY SO THEY CAN TREAT US LIKE CRAP… KEEP YOUR MONEY..
What Biggs said is throughly disgusting. Especially saying it about two Christian mothers.
You realize Ann is a Mormon. So technically its about one Christian mother, one Mormon mother.
-Mr. Johnson….The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints = Mormon
Disgusting pig and a talentless actor!
Perfectly said!
I think this is absolutely amazing! Once again the right are crying foul when left side people do exactly what the right have been doing. I have seen tweets from the right that are far worse than I see from this man. What a surprise. The right crying foul. The right can dish it out but cannot take it. I have heard from the right death/ killing comments u as a joke including same of body language overtures. Everyone seems to think that’s okay. I have heard from the right racist remarks as well as remarks about the first lady worse than I see from this man. Yet the press say nothing. I guess press must be getting paid quite well to continually over look what the right is saying a.d doing. They apparently hold the left to a different standard. I wonder is it because the feel like the right because of the color of our presidents skin it takes the back seat. Or should I say right wing comments take a back seat just to make left look like bad other than American people?!!! !!!!
Show us the tweets that are as vile and foul as the left. There is a whole website twitchy that shows them.
Really? Care to provide examples?
oh will you guys just give it a rest he deleted the tweet so just fuck off, saying that he`s not funny he`s funny him and Sean William Scott are the only reason why I watch American pie, because they`re both funny… I don`t see any of you in movies… so SHUT THE F**K UP
Another IDIOT!
Biggs’ behavior is wrong, but I will only join calls to get him fired when Rush Limbaugh gets the same calls from Republicans.
Doesn’t seem like he addressed any POLITICAL issues – I think maybe he ought to check in with a psychiatrist or therapist about his ability to talk to himself when he abuses drugs…
The tweets Jason Biggs tweeted are against he rules per Viacom Global Business Practices Statement Page 23 http://www.viacom.com/aboutviacom/Documents/ViacomBPS2012.pdf
He needs to be fired. We have a list of 50 advertisers on @NickelodeonTV and have their twitter accounts.

Jason who?
This represents the type of person the democrats worship, follow and listen to, crude and vulgar. I have seen ads saying Mitt Romney is a bad choice for women, but if Obama and other prominent Democrats do not take a stand, it is basically condoning this heinous behavior.
This is what Democrats have to offer? This is who they want their kids exposed to?
By the way, I know Democrats that are also Christians, why is there suddenly such hate for Christians and an association with Republicans? Obama, himself professes to be a Christian abd last time I checked he was a Democrat.
You are all hypocrites!!!!!!! lol You watch Fox news which is totally sexist. Pretty women in stripper heels and really short skirts talking with old white men and you listen to Rush Limbaugh who calls women sluts. Cry me a river republicans.
