Senator Ted Cruz tried to get actor Ron Perlman to fight a congressman – because 2020
Cruz tried to keep up, but got nul points for effort when he – the multi-millionaire senator – taunted the actor for *checks notes* being rich.
I get it, you’re rich. But, apparently, soft. You sure seem scared to wrestle Jordan (whom you keep insulting).

Teddy, Teddy, what kind of a muthafucka offers to have another guy, probably asleep at the time, kick another guy’s ass? https://t.co/v7EFmP1Mqe

At the time of writing, Senator Cruz has yet to respond, but the spat drew some reactions from other actors.
I’m concerned that this very entertaining Perlman/Cruz/Jordan rasslin’ exchange has drifted from its original point, and will end up without Matt Gaetz getting his ass kicked.

I’ll take on #MattGaetz and #TedCruz at the same time.
Who’s taking action?

They weren’t the only people watching proceedings. Other Twitter users weighed in on the spectacle too.
Trump: Your wife ugly, your dad killed JFK.
Ted Cruz: Yes my liege, so ugly, so bloodthirsty.
Ron Perelman: Matt Gaetz sucks.
Ted Cruz: How dare you disrespect ME this way. Now you must wrestle someone else.

Matt Gaetz, Jim Jordan and Ted Cruz trying to figure out which one of them is going to fight 70-year old Ron Perlman is just hysterical.

Ron Perlman is 70 years old, 6’1 & built like a brick shithouse. Ted Cruz is built like the McRib.

No one:
Ted Cruz: Oh yeah? I dare you to fight my friend

….Ted Cruz called Ron Perlman Hellboy like that was an insult and not one of the coolest names in the history of naming things and/or people….

The intriguingly named Devin Nunes’ cow had a question.
Why is a sitting United States Senator trying to arrange a fight between a congressman and an actor while constituents are dying in a pandemic?

Probably best to ask Donald Trump about that, if they can catch him between tweets.
