spot the error!

Seen in an Instapundit comment:

Don't be fooled by the recent Jennifer Lawrence sorta mea culpa. Being one of the stupidest and most offensive of the acting crowd during the first Trump Administration, including toward the Trump voters, I believe every one of her movies has failed since she injected her insufferable stupidity back in 2017/2018, including her "phony" Christians routine and wanting to throw a drink in Trump's face.

Hint: second sentence. Don't overthink this. The original sentence did have other mistakes, but I edited those out. Let me know if you want to see the original.

    It is refreshing to see an Instapundit commenter admit that they were one of the "stupidest and most offensive of the acting crowd."

      Yup—dangling modifier. That's it exactly. And a dangling modifier is stupid and offensive.
