Actor David Boreanaz, known for starring roles in popular TV shows like "Bones," "Angel" and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," embraced an entirely different role Wednesday: political commentator.
Boreanaz took to Twitter to harshly criticize President Barack Obama's handling of the ongoing situation between Russia and Ukraine, noting that "sanctions aren't going to cut it."
"So here we are in a Cold War now with Russia," Boreanaz tweeted. "Sanctions aren't going to cut it. Putin is Nuts and a serious threat to the USA. Grow some Obama [sic]."

Here are some of those retweets:
@David_Boreanaz Bottom line is our world is falling apart and Obama is playing golf :(

— Al- Tahhan (@Angelus_Jenardo) July 30, 2014@David_Boreanaz The way Russia are behaving is utterly disgraceful. They are not just a threat to the USA but the entire world.

"Sad part is we are all so divided when we shl be United as a country. #ExtremeThoughts and #Anger on Both sides in America," the actor wrote. "I don't know what's better being attacked by a Liberal with #20,000Tweets or the #CastleFandom. #LightenUpPeople"
