Alyssa Milano extends 'olive branch' to Trump supporters after months of scathing rebukes

After months of condemnations of President Trump and his administration, Alyssa Milano says she's extending an "olive branch" to his supporters.

The left-leaning activist and actress, who voiced an exorbitant amount of support for President-elect Joe Biden leading up to the 2020 election, took to Twitter on Tuesday with her peace offering.

"I'd like to extend an olive branch to Trump supporters. I am ready to move #ForwardTogether," the "Charmed" alum tweeted to her 3.7 million followers.

Another wrote: "I’m too lazy to read the comments but I suspect this yielded exactly zero Trump supporters to take your olive branch."

Several Twitter users suggested the peace offering came only because Biden won the election.

"This has to be another sick joke what has happened to you? four years of the most insane sick tweets about our @POTUS and anyone who stands with him now you have been cured? we the normal and descent will ask just 1 question this time next year what has SLEEPY done for you?" another wrote.

"Moving forward implies you recognize & atone for the wrong you've done. It takes time to build back broken trust. Expecting everyone to say 'oh let's forget you called me a Nazi, let's hang ou' is both hypocritical and immature. Sorry, you don't get the moral high ground here," tweeted another.
