Republican Senator and supposed long time fan of the 1987 film The Princess Bride, Ted Cruz, got a different response than he expected from his use of a famous line by suffering hero Inigo Montoya (Pantikin) in a Tweet on Saturday.

Cruz criticized the upcoming cast reunion fundraiser that will benefit the Democratic Party this election season.

The cast is reuniting for a script reading and question-and-answer session hosted by comedian Patton Oswalt to raise money for the Wisconsin Democratic Party.

Famous attendees from the film will include Cary Elwes (Westley), Robin Wright (Buttercup), Mandy Patinkin (Inigo Montoya), Billy Crystal (Miracle Max), Wallace Shawn (Vizzini), Carol Kane (Valerie) and more.

Cary Elwes' original tweet contains more information on how to join the upcoming event this Sunday, September 13th.

The tweet by Elwes drew parallels between the evil, obnoxious, and deceitful King Humperdinck in the fictional film and the real life American Commander-in-Chief as the cast promotes the event with the hashtag "Dump Trumperdinck."

In a nod to Republican President Trump's call to action of "drain the swamp", the former Westley actor clapped back to Cruz saying:

"if only you could leave the fire swamp, you could join us."

Elwes added an invite for Cruz to leave the fire swamp in another tweet after seeing Cruz's reaction.

People were thankful for Senator Cruz drawing attention to the event as they rushed to chip in.





Others suggested that it might be time for the Canadian, er... Texas Senator to engage in some self reflection.




Overall Twitter users used the platform to call out the Senator's integrity as well as his understanding of the film.

People Notice Cringey Sign On Kid Rock's Property After Video Of Army Helicopter Doing Fly-By At His House Sparks Investigation

MAGA musician Kid Rock was criticized for a cringey sign after sharing a video of an Army Apache helicopter doing a fly-by at his Nashville home that inadvertently sparked a conversation about what taxpayers are actually funding.

The video shows Kid Rock saluting as the aircraft hovers near his property, standing next to a replica Statue of Liberty by his pool. In the brief clip, a helicopter that appears to be an AH-64 Apache—an attack helicopter used by the U.S. Army and National Guard—flies at low altitude near his estate in Whites Creek.
