Lucy Lawless, perhaps better known as ‘Xena: Warrior Princess’, kicks off his names as usual.
Yesterday, the New Zealand-born actor took to Twitter and chose oral violence – against co-actor of mythical proportions Kevin Sorbo, who many remember as television’s “Hercules”. The two icons from the nineties were known for their series crossovers, in which the two characters would defeat all sorts of folkloric monsters and fairy-tale villains.
But in the real world, Lawless has set her sights on defeating another rival: baseless allegations against Capitol rioters.
Sorbo tweeted a response to a surrealistic portrait of three protesters who rushed the Capitol, including prominent conspiracy theorist Jake Angeli, widely known as that a man who appeared shirtless in DC and was heavily painted in red, white and blue, with a horn covered in fur.
“They do not look like patriots to me,” Sorbo said on January 6 in a retweet shared by DC lawyer Rogan O’Handley with #MAGA in his profile. ‘Does it look like Trump supporters? Or left-wing agitators disguised as Trump supporters … “O’Handley asked in his original tweet.
“No, Peanut,” Lawless responded in a protestive manner to Sorbo’s retweet, following his and O’Handley’s unfounded allegations. “They are not Patriots. These are your flying monkeys, homemade terrorists, actors from QAnon. These are the shower bags that go out and offer the evil of people like you who like to whip it up like toys and let them do their worst. “
She closed the hashtags #KeepingYourFilthyHandsClean and #enabler.
The original allegation that the photo on the photo of disguised Antifa actors was also slapped with a Twitter alert read in part: ‘There is so far no evidence to prove that Antifa activists were part of the mob that according to the fact did not enter the building on Wednesday. controllers from Snopes, PolitiFact, BuzzFeed News and other organizations. ”
Lawless’ answer has since went viral with 42,000 likes and nearly 10,000 retweets – so beloved that even her fans got remnants.
Lucy Lawless, as bad as her namesake. Love her forever, ” wrote Timo Tjahjanto, which has nearly 40,000 of its own, based on Lawless’s linguistic lashing.
“Xena folds Hercules is the content I’m here for ™,” tweeted @valhallabckgirl. Her praise also garnered 32,000 likes.
Comedian Patton Oswalt also shared a screenshot of the exchange with Sorbo. “DAAAMN @ RealLucyLawless,” did he tweet, along with three “100 points” emojis.
