Arkansas resident Butch Patrick—who portrayed Eddie Munster in the hit 1960s TV show The Munsters—ignited fierce opposition among his fans after posting a photo of himself with Arkansas Governor Sarah Sanders on Instagram. Patrick said that he was introduced to Sanders, President Donald Trump’s former White House press secretary, at a party and explained that she said he “surprisingly” looked familiar. “I think I’ll send her a Munster goodie,” he added. “I like living in Arkansas. Friendly folks.” Commentators let their distaste for the governor be known under the photo. “Yuck,” one wrote. Another added, “Eeeewwwww you brush elbows with Nazis? That’s gross Butch.” Patrick, real name Patrick Alan Lilley, is reportedly set to embark on a summer tour for which he will make appearances at drive-in theaters where The Musters will be shown. Patrick did not reveal where his political allegiances lie. The Daily Beast has contacted Patrick for further comment.
