Actor Ron Perlman traded barbs with Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida over social media Sunday.
The spat began when Perlman condemned Gaetz for tweeting last week that hed prefer not having a United States national soccer team over having one that wont stand for the National Anthem.
While actor Ron Perlman was already trending on Twitter after sparring with congressmen Matt Gaetz and Jim Jordan on Sunday night, Senator Ted Cruz threw his name into the fight. After Perlman tweeted a photo of Jordan with the caption, Youre lucky for this guy, Matt. If it werent for him youd be the ugliest politician walking, Cruz stood up for his fellow Republican representatives.
Cruz, 49, whos represented Texas in the U.S. Senate since 2013, tweeted that Jordan, 56, could easily beat Perlman, 71, in a wrestling match.
Referring to the actors eponymous role in Guillermo del Toros 2004 superhero film, Cruz said to Perlman, Listen Hellboy. You talk good game when youve got Hollywood makeup & stuntmen. But Ill bet $10k to the nonpolitical charity of your choicethat you couldnt last 5 min in the wrestling ring w/ @Jim_Jordan w/o getting pinned. You up for it? Or does your publicist say too risky?

Perlman couldnt resist challenging Cruz in his response, betting the politician he would donate $50,000 to Black Lives Matter if he winshe also took aim at Ohio congressman Jordons involvement in the Ohio State University wrestling abuse scandal.
I tell you what teddy boy, since mentioning jim jordan and wrestling is problematic, why dont we say f*** him and just make it you & me. Ill give 50k to Black Lives Matter and you can keep all the tax payer money you were thinking of spending.

Holy s*** man! Is this the same guy let little Donnie call his wife A dog and his father an assassin and now kisses his ass? Yo, can I get your autograph man?

“The President didnt point out anything, he told a lie about Cruzs father”
Well, I don’t think his dad was a Presidential assassin, that is obviously pretty silly, but the characterization as a drunken foreigner was not incorrect...nor were his comments about the deranged and hideous Heidi Cruz.
Yeah,that’s his perfect part. Lotsa Neanderthal in his DNA.
Some folks in the cult
....and just who is this cult youre referring too?
Also, the President doesnt lie!
“Let’s you and him fight” is even worse!
Careful the Cubanadian has many rabid fans here.
But then Jim would have to TOUCH Perlman. Ew. PPE a must in this case if ever.
I’ll never get those Cruznadians.
Rafael Cruz Jr. (”Ted” is an Anglo nickname) is an arrogant Harvard-educated foreign elitist.
Seeing him trying to be “tough on snowflakes” is hilarious.
A man who sits back and takes it while his family is being trashed can’t put on a convincing tough guy act.
Decent actor, plays a lot of weird parts. Doesn’t mean he’s smart enough to pour piss out of a boot though.
I used to like Ron Perlman. Not anymore.
Get over the Cruz hate, seriously.
I for real know a person who was born in Canada moved to the USA at age 5, lived in Kansas and Missouri; and he loves America and cant stand Canada.
It is possible, you know.
Isn’t that the flick where “doggy style” went out of vogue?
An actor against an NCAA wrestling champ?
Nothing Perlman could bring. One massive slaughter. Pinned, hurt, and humiliated in less than a minute.
NCAA wrestlers are the meanest mf ers in the valley.
I would pay to watch the mangling.
Yep,that’s the one. :)
Did a pretty decent job as the character “Koulikov”, sniper partner to Jude Law’s Vassiley Zaitsev in Enemy At The Gates...
Otherwise...Just shut up and act, Perlman...
