'Princess Bride' Fan Ted Cruz Tried To Slam The Cast For Fundraising For Dems, And It Backfired Splendidly

“Do you hear that Fezzik? That is the sound of ultimate suffering. My heart made that sound when the six-fingered man killed my father. Every Princess Bride fan who wants to see that perfect movie preserved from Hollywood politics makes it now." pic.twitter.com/mbUs4y6Ro0

You keep using that humour. I don't think it means what you think it means.

At some point, a thinking person might ask... maybe it's me?

Like, do you ever stop to think about why you end up on the wrong side of all these battles? It *might* not be everybody else, my man. Might want to look closer to home. Inward even

Why would any conservative like the princess bride. It's about poor people beating the rich and the exploitative establishment.

You think the movie where the female lead chooses true love over wealth and power, which would have ultimately been the death of her in the interest of stoking war isn't not only political, but incredibly timely? I think @Cary_Elwes and @robreiner would disagree.

It's okay to admit you didn't understand this perfect movie, Teddy. But, like in life, the right wing here are the bad guys.
