You're barging into a conversation around a charity thing for a (great) guy facing close to the most dire of personal calamities to start beating your political drum about which nobody gives a shit...and you think Christine is to blame here? And don't pretend you didn't mean to[2], you were being "positive and affirming" about the sad reality that a sick guy had to pass the hat amongst his also-pretty-broke friends to maybe be able to not destroy his family. And to claim you meant anything otherwise is either a lie or a sign of disconnect from basic humanity.
Christine didn't "sic her followers on you", it was a public tweet and a lot of people like and respect Brandon and you decided to piss in the pool. There's a time and a place even for your brand of politics and you chose not to pick an appropriate one. You earned that ire by being an asshole. It might not have been "professional" to take umbrage with it, but it was human and it was moral and it was right.
While I'm at it: you also are crowing about having Christine's "army"[3] after you. Have some perspective: no such thing exists. Heck, I'm not a friend of hers, I don't even follow her on Twitter because honestly her feed is kind of annoying, but she is a decent person and I can muster a little outrage on her behalf when you want to pretend being an entitled prick didn't bring down that very minor fracas upon you.
Because I'm guessing it's not as straightforward as you portray it in context.
EDIT: Oh look. I found it[1]. And I was right.

So stop it.
