A comedian set to perform at the University of Utah this week is facing heavy backlash online — including accusations of religious bigotry and calls for the school to cancel his show — after he promoted his act on Twitter with a photo of himself wearing Mormon temple garments.
David Cross posted the ad on social media Saturday afternoon with the catchphrase “Utah! Learn the real truth!” He’s pictured standing outside of a dressing room in the sacred underclothes that members of the Utah-based faith wear daily.
The University of Utah originally responded with a GIF that made light of Cross’ tweet.
