Seth Rogen appeared on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert Thursday night,
where the actor explained why his so-called feud with Senator Ted Cruz is
"not a feud."
Rogen is known for being openly opinionated on Twitter and, back in January,
he and Cruz had a days-long twitter exchange, which all started on
Inauguration Day, when Cruz criticized President Joe Biden for reentering the
Paris Climate Agreement.
On Thursday, host Stephen Colbert asked the actor to explain why he is
calling his social media spar with Cruz "not a feud."
"Feud implies equal ground," Rogen explained. "If someone's trying to murder
someone with a baseball bat and someone is yelling that person to stop, is
that a feud between the baseball bat-wielder and the person yelling at the
baseball bat-wielder? I don't know if that's a feud."
Rogen added, "I think feud implies two people hitting each other with
baseball bats. I'm, like, Ted Cruz is a fascist. He denies the reality of the
election. His words cause people to die, and I'm making jokes about it. Is
that a feud? I don't know. To me, it doesn't seem like a feud. To me, it
seems like I'm pointing out the fact that he is a terrible man whose words
have resulted in death."
Rogen's baseball bat metaphor wasn't the only one he had up his sleeve, the
actor later shared, "If you were playing baseball against a team and, like,
you're trying to get a lot of runs and the other team is trying to bludgeon
you to death, like, is it like shocking that you're not scoring as many runs
as maybe you should be scoring? No, the other team is just trying to beat you
to death with baseball bats, you know."
The Late Show With Stephen Colbert airs weeknights at 11:35 p.m. on CBS.
[Seth is right about it being unequal, but not the way he thinks.]
