Lets start at the beginning.
At first, Oswalt responded with a joke.

Beatty also hit him again with a knock against the comedians height.
(Again this is a very deep dive.)
Thats when Oswalt took a closer look at who he was fighting.
Instead of firing back, he reached out.
Soon, the man was tweeting out his gratitude, as well as an apology.
He seems to be saying he willalsohelp his relative with the outpouring of financial support.
He also acknowledged the irony of a Trump defender lashing out while also soliciting help.
A humbled Beatty even said he hoped someday to see Oswalt in person.
Of course, the comedian couldnt resist just one more joke.
Most hostile interactions on Twitter dont go this way, but this one has a happy ending.
