He plays the most hilarious and unforgettable characters in movies. He’s a rising artist/cartoonist. And his Christmas classic “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” is about to be watched by millions around the world—again. Jim Carrey is not only gifted—some would say he’s a creative genius. Carrey also knows how to throw some pretty powerful political punches.
On Monday night, Carrey delivered a nasty left blow to U.S. Senator Ted Cruz in a Twitter exchange. It all started when Carrey tweeted out his support for Democrats, and the popular Texas candidate Beto O’ Rourke. Attached to his tweet, Carrey included one of his cartoons, which appears to show O’Rourke riding a wave over a drowning Ted Cruz (that’s my interpretation).
Carrey’s tweet, which went out to his 18 million followers, apparently struck a chord with Cruz. The Lone Star senator made an embarrassing attempt to be clever in his response.
He failed.
Carrey then showed no mercy when he responded to Cruz.
Well, alrighty then, to quote one of Carrey’s most famous characters. Within hours, Carrey garnered over 150k likes for his Twitter takedown of Ted. One could say he put Cruz to bed and why? Cruz is a lying weasel who’s been sucking up to the same man who smeared him like jelly on toast in 2016. To exemplify the Trump-Cruz relationship, below is a recent anti-Cruz ad that’s absolutely brutal.
Today, on Election Day, we’ll be looking forward to saying “Welcome to Congress, Senator-elect O’Rourke” as he enjoys a historical win (and we’ll be saying “Bye, Felicia” to that other guy). Although Texas is one of the reddest states in the country, Democrats intend to flip it Blue.
And here we go!
