1D's Liam Payne Faces Backlash After 'Duck Dynasty' Tweet
One Direction's Liam Payne caused quite the stir on Twitter after he sent one of the main cast members from Duck Dynasty a message of support.
While the boys from 1D are all avid social media users, Liam's tweet was taken by many fans as a show of support for not only the show, but also the homophobic and racist opinions held by Duck patriarch, Phil Robertson.
Robertson recently came under fire for relating homosexuality to bestiality and suggesting African Americans were happier before the civil rights movement, among other things, in a GQ article.
Niall's tweet was directed at Robertson's son, Willie Robertson, and it read:
