Lucy Lawless, perhaps better known as “Xena: Warrior Princess”, kicks her ass and names names, as usual.
Yesterday, the New Zealand-born actor connected to Twitter and chose verbal violence – against fellow legendary actor Kevin Sorbo, whom many remember as “Hercules” on television. The two icons from the ’90s were known for their series crossovers, in which the two characters would defeat all sorts of folk monsters and fairy tale villains.
But in the real world, Lawless set out to defeat another type of rival: baseless claims about the Capitol riots.
Sorbo posted on Twitter a response to a surreal portrait of three protesters rushing to the Capitol, including the prominent conspiracy theorist Jake Angeli, widely known as that guy who appeared in DC without a shirt and very painted in red, white and blue, wearing a hairstyle with horns, draped in fur.
“They don’t look like patriots to me,” Sorbo said on Jan. 6 in a retweet shared by Rogan O’Handley, a DC lawyer with #MAGA in his profile. “Do they look like Trump supporters? Or left-wing agitators disguised as Trump supporters … “O’Handley asked in his original tweet.
“No, Peanut,” Lawless responded – patronized – to Sorbo’s retweet, following his and O’Handley’s unfounded claims. “They are not Patriots. They’re your flying monkeys, house terrorists, QAnon actors. There are shower bags that come out and make bad orders from people like you who like to liquidate them like toys and let them do everything that is worse ”.
She ended with the hashtags #KeepingYourFilthyHandsClean and #enabler.
The initial claim that the photo of actors disguised as Antifa was also slammed with a warning from Twitter, reading in part: “There is no evidence so far to show that Antifa activists were part of the mob that entered the building on Wednesday. , according to the fact – verifiers from Snopes, PolitiFact, BuzzFeed News and other organizations. “
Since then, he replies without law went viral with 42,000 likes and almost 10,000 redistributions – so enjoyable that even her fans collected remnants.
“Lucy Lawless, as vile as her namesake. Love her forever ” wrote Timo Tjahjanto, which has almost 40,000 of its own assessments, based on Lawless’s linguistic connection.
“Xena folds Hercules is the content I’m here for ™,” posted to Twitter @valhallabckgirl. Her praises also garnered 32,000 appreciations.
Comedian Patton Oswalt also shared a screenshot of the exchange with Sorbo. DAAAMN @RealLucyLawless wrote on Twitter, along with three “100 points” emojis.
