‘Don’t let him off the hook. Don’t let him make this about ‘Hollywood’ – this is about Ted Cruz who helped and sparked an uprising that killed five people, including a police officer, which nearly ended in the murder of members of Congress and the vice president. O’Rourke tweeted, referring to the violent riot in the Capitol earlier this month.

Why does he keep this fight with Seth Rogen going, even though he gets destroyed at every turn? Because he’s guilty of sedition, ‘O’Rourke added. He hopes that distraction and time reduce the urgency of accountability. Don’t let him change channel or subject, it’s incitement every time. “

Cruz and the “Freaks & Geeks” star recently spruced up on Twitter, with the feud that started when Rogen criticized Cruz’s comments about Biden joining the Paris climate accord again. During the back-and-forth, Cruz called Rogen a “rich, angry Hollywood celebrity,” while Rogen called Cruz a “white supremacist fascist who doesn’t find it offensive if someone calls your wife ugly.”

The Hill has contacted Cruz’s office for comment.
