The Knocked Up actor continued to accuse Cruz of encouraging the Capitol riots, just days after Senate Democrats filed a probe by the Ethics Committee into the Senators involvement in the deadly insurrection.
After kicking off on Inauguration Day, the next clash between the pair was provoked by an unlikely source - Walt Disney s film, Fantasia.

In case you missed the news, Ted Cruz and Seth Rogen are fighting. In what has got to be one of the oddest Twitter feuds in modern history, the two have been exchanging insults ever since Sen. Cruz made a boneheaded remark about President Biden rejoining the Paris Climate Agreement.
“By rejoining the Paris Climate Agreement, President Biden indicates he’s more interested in the views of the citizens of Paris than in the jobs of the citizens of Pittsburgh,” wrote Cruz on Twitter. “This agreement will do little to affect the climate and will harm the livelihoods of Americans.” The “Pineapple Express” actor replied with a brief statement of his own: “F ck off, you fascist.”

“There is no higher priority than efficiently and equitably distributing these vaccines as quickly as possible to those who face the gravest consequences,” Newsom said. “To those not yet eligible for vaccines, your turn is coming. We are doing everything we can to bring more vaccine into the state.”
