NEW YORK, NY — Actor Peter Dinklage was reportedly a wee bit annoyed and expressed slight disappointment that he received little praise from the general public after taking a short time to recite a small poem at an anti-ICE protest over the weekend.
Appearing at a gathering of activists in New York City to play a mini role in a public event to voice displeasure with the government's immigration policies and the recent clashes between federal agents and protesters, Dinklage read a poem he had written to pay respects to Renée Good, but was discouraged by the tiny credit he got amid the poem's scant social media mentions.
"It made me feel like half a man," Dinklage later told his close friends, according to sources. "That short writing was just a fraction of the outrage I've been feeling in a very abbreviated amount of time. I had hoped that this minor act of protest would be just a meager beginning to something that would spread across the country. To say I'm underwhelmed by the response would be selling it short."
Insiders revealed that while the actor hoped the abridged poem would garner more than a miniature response online, his discouragement was dwarfed by his anger over ICE. "As everyone can see, he's a little miffed," one source said. "Sure, he wanted more than a modest response to the poem in a few short video clips online, but his feelings about the current political climate aren't pint-sized."
At publishing time, Dinklage's critics said he was just being a baby.
