Yesterday, Hellboy actor Ron Perlman posted a short 49-second video on his Twitter railing against Texas senator Ted Cruz. A divisive figure, Cruz was criticized by the actor for appealing to the "real lowest form of humanity here in the United States."

Sitting outside on his porch, an outraged Perlman says in his video:

"Hi Ted, Ron here. Listen, I know how tempting it is to appeal to the real lowest form of humanity here in the United States, the bottom feeders, people who pride themselves on hatred and uneducation and inability to read and inability to understand the difference between true patriotism and the bullshit you're selling. I know how tempting it is to play to those people. Because at least you have a base, but Jesus Christ Ted, for somebody with a really, really small d-, you get to be a bigger prick every f-in day. Go f- yourself."

In an article on The Wrap, it was speculated that the basis for Perlman's rage was Cruz's misguided questioning of Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson during her confirmation hearing.

During his questioning, Cruz pressed Jackson on her opinion on critical race theory and whether she thought babies could be racist. Despite the degrading questions, Jackson kept her cool and truthfully answered with, "I've never studied critical race theory, and I've never used it. It doesn't come up in the work that I do as a judge."

As we continue to keep an eye on Jackson's bid for the Supreme Court, it's interesting to see celebrity reactions to political happenings. While we shouldn't rely on celebrities for political guidance, it's one way to engage with politics and see how your political views could be further informed or challenged.
