Hollywood screenwriter Craig Mazin, who shared a dorm room with Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz during their freshman year at Princeton University, spent most of Tuesday and Wednesday trashing the Texas senator on Twitter.
The storm of tweets, which started Monday evening, seemed to be sparked my Mazin's influx of Twitter followers, which he attributes to people learning that he was Cruz's roommate for a short time.
"I have 30k followers now, and all I had to do was be stuck in a room with Ted Cruz for a year. I'm sure you're all nice, but SO NOT WORTH IT," he tweeted Monday night.
From there, it was all downhill.
Mazin continued launching insult after insult at the presidential hopeful. He went on to write that he has experienced "1,000 times the safe level of Cruz exposure," adding that he believes the senator is "an asshole."
And Cruz's former roommate was not alone in his fiery critique. Another man who claims to have met Cruz during his freshman year at Princeton came to Mazin's defense, tweeting, "I met Ted freshman week and loathed him within the hour."
Ultimately, the rant turned to taking shots at Cruz for defending himself against Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad's calls to defeat the Tea Party favorite in the Hawkeye State. The rant then ended with Mazin starting a hashtag "game" to name ice cream flavors after Cruz. His was "death penalty."
This is not the first time Mazin has gone after his former roommate. In fact, he used similar language during Cruz's 2012 Senate campaign, when he referred to him as a "huge asshole."
Digging kind of deep, aren’t you? A liberal former roommate “speaks out.”
Now THAT’S credibility.
Surely “epic” and “Twitter” don’t belong in the same sentence.
My thought as well!
Ya, I can see how a lefty would not like Cruz. And...
A guy who writes lefty BS for a living.
The ***hole here is Craig. I too, did not like my first roommate in boarding school, but I would never speak ill of her in public much less do something so childish as launch a storm of tweets.
I fail to see why this is news. It’s on the emotional level of 16 and it’s embarrassing that media thinks it worth publication.
Now if it was Al Gore’s college roommate....
.....but he would probably just say “...I don’t care...”
I had a couple of college roommates that didn’t like me.
So what? Who cares?
That how I feel about Ayn Rand.
Definitely no need to read further.
Oh boy oh boy oh boy...@clmazin screen plays gonna get put on the TOP of the piles now!!! (Just hope he included appropriate race/religion/socioeconomic/non gender specific characterization sand they there is a plum role for Jada Pinkett-Smith w/a direction option for Spike Lee).
Meh!
Just another sissy hissy fit...
Wasn’t Al Gore’s roommate Tommy Lee Jones?
Just imagine if you were forced to room with an ultra liberal hollyweird big mouth. Ted had to deal with that.
It’s funny that Democrats can’t find even one ‘roommate’ of Obama at ANY of the three colleges he ‘attended’ to give these very belated critiques of him......
It is impossible to satirize this level of absurdity.
"The Blaze" must mean to "blaze up" a joint.
And WTF is a Tres-Goins-Phillips?
Translation:
“Look at MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!”
I’ll be willing to be this Hollywood Screenwriter has a script out in the flux now he’s hawking up.....
In the end, it is really all about money.
