Former star of the syndicated 90s fantasy series Hercules: The Legendary Journeys Kevin Sorbo has once again tried to drag liberals with more inane Republican rhetoric. As usual, it blew up in his face.

Sorbo—who at this point more famous for being an anti-vaxx, pro-Trump COVID-19 conspiracy theorist than he ever was as an actor—recently took to Twitter to regurgitate the right's favorite insult against the state of California—it's some kind of Communist gulag with palm trees.


Sorbo tweeted he's relieved not to live in "Commiefornia."

There's just one small problem, as several people pointed out in his replies. Sorbo does live in California, and posted the tweet from California, as indicated by the geotag in his own Twitter bio.

Oh Kevin, bless your heart.

Even without the geotag, the tweet would be pretty absurd. Sorbo, of course, wouldn't even be a known quantity without the state of California, the home base of the American entertainment industry that is in part dependent upon the state government's spending.

But acknowledging that wouldn't get him retweets from other Republican conspiracy theorists, of course, and Sorbo's account seems almost dedicated to trolling liberals and amplifying Republican rhetoric with embarrassingly ignorant nonsense.

For example, Sorbo recently posted a mocking tweet about how there are no Democratic Presidents on Mount Rushmore, despite the fact the modern Democratic Party didn't yet exist during Washington's and Jefferson's presidencies and the Republican Party was still the progressive party during Lincoln's and Roosevelt famously ran under a platform of protest against the direction the Republican party was heading.

Sorbo has also used his Twitter account to downplay COVID-19and brag about harassing Starbucks employees over the company's mask policy.

And he has amplified the far-right conspiracy theory the January 6 insurrection was perpetrated by leftist Antifa members in disguise—a claim so ludicrous even his former costar Lucy Lawless publicly raked him over the coals for it.

But Sorbo's "Commiefornia" tweet was a uniquely dumb and easily avoidable self-own.

Twitter had a field day pointing it out to him.






We wish Sorbo luck with his harrowing terror of choosing to live in the totalitarian state of California.

Nancy Mace's Claim That No One Would Know Simone Biles' Name If Men Competed Against Her Gets Epically Fact-Checked

South Carolina MAGA Republican Representative Nancy Mace has been making a name for herself by being the most vulgar and vile anti-trans person in Congress. She's screamed transphobic slurs in official committee meetings and attacked anyone who opposes her bigotry.

Now she's decided to take on the most decorated gymnast in history—in women's and men's gymnastics—Simone Biles, who holds the record for the most Olympic and World Championship medals combined. Biles won 41 medals in just those events, surpassing all other gymnasts.

Vance Tried To Make A Joke About Seeing 'Les Misérables' At The Kennedy Center—And It's Peak Cringe

Vice President JD Vance had people groaning after he made a bad joke about the production of Les Misérables he and his wife, Second Lady Usha Vance, attended at the Kennedy Center with President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump.

The musical, set in 19th century France, tells the story of Jean Valjean, an ex-convict who is released from prison for stealing a loaf of bread. The story touches on timeless themes such as justice and mercy—and also happens to be about people resisting an authoritarian takeover, which many find ironic given the Trump administration's response to protests in Los Angeles.

People Who Smashed Wedding Cake In Their Spouse's Face Reveal How Their Relationship Is Going Now

According to The Knot wedding resource magazine and website, smashing cake into the face of a spouse after tying the knot is a tradition tied to medieval England. To celebrate the marriage, the bride would toss a piece of piece of cake over her shoulder for good luck.

This evolved into newlyweds feeding a piece of cake to one another, then taking frosting or a small bit of cake and rubbing it gently onto each other's faces—usually the cheek or tip of the nose.

U.S. Army Vet Goes Viral With Blistering Speech Ripping Trump For Deploying Troops To L.A.

A U.S. Army veteran went viral after she spoke out to encourage other current and former military members to publicly condemn President Donald Trump for using them as "pawns" to suit his own ends after he deployed the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles amid ongoing protests against his administration's immigration raids.

Trump has activated over 4,000 National Guard members and 700 Marines, despite opposition from city and state leaders. He has painted a bleak picture of Los Angeles—claims that Mayor Karen Bass and Governor Gavin Newsom say are wildly exaggerated.
