Seth Rogen took a break from his pottery-making hobby to go after Senator Ted Cruz on Twitter the past few days.
The 38-year-old Knocked Up star has thrown every word with F at her disposal for the politician – but especially ‘fascist’.
The angry comings and goings started on the opening day, when Rogen responded angrily to one of Cruz’s tweets about the Paris Climate Agreement, but the actor was also furious at the allegations that the 50-year-old Republican had generated support for the violent Capitol Hill uprising on January 6 that left five dead.

Cruz’s tweet on January 20 referred to President Biden’s commitment to the Paris Climate Agreement, a pact that seeks to reduce greenhouse gas emissions worldwide.
“Upon re-joining the Paris Climate Agreement, President Biden indicates that he is more interested in the views of the citizens of Paris than in the jobs of the citizens of Pittsburgh,” Cruz tweeted. “This agreement will do little to affect the climate and damage the livelihood of Americans.”
“Fuck it, fascist,” replied Rogen.
The post was instantly ridiculed by many other users as well, as Cruz seemed to erroneously believe that the agreements were drawn up exclusively by Parisians, when in fact the name refers to the place where nations came together to adopt the Agreement.
Factually challenged: Cruz tweeted that the Paris Climate Agreement helped ‘citizens of Paris’ more than ‘citizens of Pittsburgh’, although it has nothing to do with Parisians, who allowed Rogen to tweet: ‘Fuck you fascist’ ; Cross seen in October in the Capitol building
Combat words: Cruz posted a screenshot and replied that the Democratic Party was for you ‘if you are a rich and furious Hollywood celebrity’
Other critics suggested that he was aware of this fact and was cynically trying to gain the support of followers who were not so knowledgeable on the subject.
Some users scoffed at Cruz’s alleged concern for the citizens of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, after he was one of six Republican senators who voted against certifying the results of Pennsylvania’s presidential elections due to unfounded allegations of electoral fraud.
Cruz was more concerned with Rogen’s criticism, however, and he shared a screenshot of the post, adding: ‘Enchanting, civilized and polite response. @Sethrogen If you are a rich and furious Hollywood celebrity, today’s Dems are the party for you. If you are a worker, if you are a union member, if you work with energy or manufacturing … not so much.
Rogen replied, ‘If you’re a white supremacist fascist who doesn’t find it offensive when someone calls your wife ugly, Ted Cruz is the exact son of a bitch for you,’ adding that he was in ‘four unions. ‘

Getting personal: after Cruz tweeted that Disney Fantasy was the first movie he saw in the cinema, Rogen replied: ‘Everyone who made this movie would hate you’
Pushing back: ‘They are all dead. So I think we’re fine. And Walt Disney was a Republican, ‘Cruz wrote in a quote tweet, before comparing Rogen’s tweets to someone with Tourette
With their rivalry on Twitter on fire, neither Rogen nor Cruz seemed willing to give up and instead increased.
In response to a tweet asking about the first movie people saw in theaters, Cruz replied that it was Walt Disney Fantasy.
‘I was going through a movie revival. That scared me; I cried – I was 4 years old. My mom had to take me out, “he wrote, adding,” Good times. “
Rogen replied, ‘Everyone who made that movie would hate you.’
“They are all dead. So I think we’re fine. And Walt Disney was a Republican, ‘Cruz wrote in a quote tweet. ‘Even if you behave online like a Marxist with Tourette (shouting’ FU! FU! ‘Is very, very smart), your films are typically very funny. I’m sure you hate that I like them. ‘
Clarification: Rogen doubled over and said he had a ‘mild case’ of Tourette before calling Cruz a ‘shit fascist’ again
No joke: ‘Jokes aside, @Sethrogen is an idiot’, Cruz wrote while complaining about the ‘fascist Left’, a meaningless term
Rogen replied that he had a ‘mild case’ of Tourette and attacked the senator again.
“Once again, I take great pleasure in telling you to go fuck yourself,” he wrote, before adding a medical clarification: “Also, VERY few cases of Tourette manifest themselves in uncontrollable profanity. Most cases, like mine, manifest in spasms.
He added in another tweet: ‘Jokes aside, @tedcruz is a piece of fascist shit.’
Cruz kept his shape, writing, ‘Jokes aside, @Sethrogen is an idiot. It is your party that believes in the power of the government: to close your deal, oppress your faith and censor your speech. Who disagrees, tries to cancel. In fact, many people in Hollywood are conservative – and gagged by the fascist left.
Rogen seemed furious enough to mention the deadly uprising in the Capitol Building, in which a policeman was killed by protesters after he was allegedly hit in the head with a fire extinguisher.
It became even clearer at the end of the day.
– Your lies killed people. You have blood on your hands, ‘he wrote.

So far, Cruz has not yet responded to Rogen’s tweets about the Capitol insurrection.
However, other critics and Democratic members of Congress have also accused Cruz and Missouri Senator Josh Hawley of fomenting the mutiny, and there have been calls from some members for senators to be expelled from the Senate for their participation in rallies that led to the death of dawn.
The Neighbors star later tweeted: ‘This is not a’ feud ‘on Twitter. @tedcruz tried to overthrow our government. He inspired a deadly crowd to invade the Capitol. And I think it deserves to be ridiculed. So fuck him. ‘
Radio silence: so far, Cruz still hasn’t responded to Rogen’s tweets about the Capitol uprising
