Xena vs. Hercules: TV stars’ Twitter disputes over Capitol protests provoke reaction on social media

It was a clash of superheroes, all on social media.

‘Xena: Warrior Princess’ star Lucy Lawless on Thursday addressed her former co-star, ‘Hercules’ actor Kevin Sorbo, over a remark he made, speculating on the political views of some of the protesters who American Capitol stormed this week. .

The drama was sparked when Sorbo, a Republican, responded on Wednesday to a tweet containing a photo of some of the Capitol rioters, along with the caption: “Does it look like Trump supporters? Or left-wing agitators disguised as Trump -supporters …”

“They do not look like patriots to me …” Sorbo replied.

Despite reports outlining the angry crowd as Trump supporters, some have argued that Antifa members may have been hidden among the rioters.

Nearly 24 hours after Sorbo’s original tweet, Lawless responds with harsh criticism of her former co-star.

“No, Peanut. They are not Patriots,” she wrote. “It’s your flying monkeys, homemade terrorists, QAnon actors. It’s the d —– bags going out and the malicious bidding of people like you, who like to get excited like toys and let them do the worst. # keepYouSafe Hand Cleaning # enabler

Lawless originally helped the character, Xena, in the TV show ‘Hercules: The Legendary Journeys’, with Sorbo playing the title role, before getting the hugely popular cast ‘Xena: Warrior Princess’, which ran from 1995 to 2001 trotted. .
