evidence: The late Italian dictator Benito Mussolini’s granddaughter Alessandra Mussolini made the headlines this week after she spit out insults against the American actor Jim Carrey. The comedian actor best known for his roles in "Dumb and Dumber" and "Liar liar", had posted a drawing on Twitter depicting Mussolini and his mistress, Claretta Petacci, hanging upside down after their execution in 1945. Carrey added a caption, saying "If you’re wondering what fascism leads to, just ask Benito Mussolini and his mistress Claretta." Alessandra Mussolini, a former model and actress herself, who now serves in the European Parliament representing Central Italy, responded by posting a reply which called Carrey "a bastard".
