Seth Rogen and Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz have been engaging in an ongoing Twitter spat that many social media users characterized as a feud.

Rogen, an accomplished writer, actor, and comedian—is also an outspoken critic of the Trump-loyalist Texas Junior Senator who helped incite the deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol on January 6.


And when it comes to tearing the lawmaker to shreds, Rogen has no problem mincing words.

But he offered a different take in defining their profanity-laden exchanges—including one in which he called Cruz a "fascist."

"Feud implies equal ground," the actor said of the interpretation on Thursday's episode of A Late Show with Stephen Colbert.


Rogen used baseball players as an analogy to emphasize his take.

"If someone's 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? "
"I don't know if that's a feud. Feud implies two people hitting each other with baseball bats."

In previous tweets, Rogen slammed Cruz for ditching his constituents in the freezing cold for Cancun during the energy crisis and also for his role in amplifying the former President's perpetual false claims about a stolen election—which led to the deaths of five people in the Capitol riot.

"Ted Cruz is a fascist," he continued in his interview with Colbert.

"He denies the reality of the election. His words caused people to die and I'm making jokes about it. Is that a feud? I don't know."
"To me, it seems I'm pointing out the fact that he's a terrible man whose words have resulted in death."

Colbert asked the cannabis expert—who recently announced the launching of his own weed company—if he would consider toking with Cruz or anyone with diametrically opposed political beliefs.

Rogen replied:

"It would be beneficial to him, because it would be humanizing him in some way to hang out with me."




"I've tried, honestly. There are people in my life who hold the beliefs that Ted Cruz holds and I really try to engage with them throughout the last year and ultimately it was horrifying."



He concluded with:

"There is nothing I could convey that would reframe this person's reality as they viewed it."

GOP Senator Faces MAGA Backlash Over Plan To Sell Millions Of Acres Of Public Land

Utah Republican Senator Mike Lee is facing harsh criticism—including from Team MAGA—over his proposal to sell off millions of acres of public land in the American West owned by the Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Forest Service to supposedly create more affordable housing.

Lee claimed in his proposal that there is an "extensive process for interested parties like States and local governments to nominate land for disposal to meet housing and community needs," noting that it specifically exempts national parks, monuments, and federally designated wilderness areas from potential land sales.

Trump Ripped For Complaining That Americans Get 'Too Many' Federal Holidays Off Work

While it was ultimately former President Joe Biden who established Juneteenth as a federal holiday, President Donald Trump—who once campaigned on that promise—took to Truth Social on Juneteenth to whine about the number of "non-working holidays" Americans get, claiming that it costs businesses "billions of dollars."

Juneteenth is derived from June 19, 1865, when Union troops led by General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, and declared that all enslaved African Americans in the state were free.

While it doesn't always happen, sometimes we get to see karma at work—and sometimes, the revenge is sweet.

TikToker @cassdamm, who previously went viral for sharing the unhinged, five-page letter her 15-year-old son's principal sent, complaining about him "wandering the halls" and "being truant" for buying a drink on his way back to class, is openly celebrating the death of her father, but it's not for the reason you'd think.
