Ted Cruz Makes Cruel Joke About Tourette’s Syndrome in Twitter Fight With Seth Rogen and No One is Laughing

By

“I like Ted Cruz more than most of the Senators around here and I hate his guts.”

Sen. Al Franken

Universally, people say two things about Ted Cruz. He is a galaxy-class asshole, indeed, if the aliens ever park above Washington DC, it will be incumbent on everyone in the city to make sure Cruz remains deep underground, lest he finds a way to go up and talk to them about policy. This planet would get Death-stared so fast we be vapor. The other thing about him is that he’s beyond brilliant. He has one of the most powerful legal minds on earth and he uses it as a devastating weapon. It all combines to make him a brilliant and devastating asshole.

That’s not a good combo. Had he not moved from Alberta when he was five, he might’ve turned out better, some of us did. We may not be brilliant but we’re only local assholes.

For a brilliant guy, he can sure do some stupid things. This is the guy who did his own filibuster, something that required him to stand for hours saying “No no no no” and read “Green Eggs and Ham,” a book about a guy who said “No no no no” until he learned better. Stupid.

Cruz is also stupid to get into a fight with people who will always be more popular than him, namely Alyssa Milano, who is … quite popular, and Seth Rogen, a popular guy who is also brilliantly hilarious.

That’s not a good combo, either, for Ted. And he’s getting worked today on Twitter, as an example:

Now, Ted – brilliant though he is, was too stupid to let it go:

STFU, Ted. Rogen couldn’t care less what Ted enjoys or doesn’t. He likely hates thinking about Cruz at all. Also, really gross to use Tourette’s in this way. People struggle with this disorder and Cruz shouldn’t use it as a punchline. Cruz then took a punch from way beyond his weight class:

Ouch! And as usual, Alyssa is as sharp as ever because she’s exactly right. The GOP wouldn’t claim him now, nor would any aliens.

Anyway, #SethRoganLovesTedCruz got trending for the best reasons. Also, people are quite angry about Cruz using Tourette’s Syndrome to make a joke.

Nice work, MAGAs.

Peace, y’all
