Actor and comedian Seth Rogen is calling Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) âa terrible manâ whose âwords have resulted in death.â
Stephen Colbert pointed out Rogenâs recent Twitter exchange with Cruz.
Rogen tweeted, âIf youâre a white supremacist fascist who doesnât find it offensive when someone calls your wife ugly, Ted Cruz is the exact motherf****er for you.â
Colbert asked Rogen, âSo itâs not a feud, itâs just passing harsh judgment?â
He replied, âFeud implies equal ground ⌠If someoneâs trying to murder someone with a baseball bat and someone is yelling at that person to stop, is that a feud between the baseball bat wielder and the person yelling at the baseball bat wielder?â
Rogen continued, âI donât know if thatâs a feud. Feud implies two people hitting each other with baseball bats.â
Watch Rogenâs interview below:
Reiterating Cruz is a âfascist,â Rogen added, âHe denies the reality of the election, his words caused people to die and Iâm making jokes about it. Is that a feud? I donât know. To me, it doesnât seem like a feud. To me, it seems like Iâm pointing out the fact that he is a terrible man whose words have resulted in death.â
Using another baseball analogy, Rogen explained, âItâs like if youâre playing baseball against a team and youâre trying to get a lot of runs and the other team is trying to bludgeon you to death, is it shocking that youâre not scoring as many runs as maybe you should be scoring?â
He added, âNo, the other team is just trying to beat you to death with baseball bats, you know.â
The âfeudâ between the actor and senator began after Cruz criticized President Joe Bidenâs decision to rejoin the Paris climate accord.
âF**k off you fascist,â Rogen tweeted.
Cruz responded, âCharming, civil, educated response.â
Rogen proceeded to tell Cruz, âGo encourage a white supremacist insurrection again you f**king clown.â
