Ron Perlman Calls Ted Cruz a 'Big Prick' After Ketanji Brown Jackson Questions: 'Go F-- Yourself'

Ron Perlman sent a video message to Ted Cruz on Twitter in which the “Hellboy” actor slammed the Texas senator for his questions at the Supreme Court confirmation hearings of Ketanji Brown Jackson. Perlman was one of many people following the Supreme Court confirmation hearing who condemned Cruz’s questioning. The actor told Cruz to “go fuck yourself.”

“Hi Ted, Ron here,” Perlman said in the video. “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 un-education 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,” Perlman continued. “Because at least you have a base, but Jesus Christ Ted, for somebody with a really, really small dick, you get to be a bigger prick every fucking day. Go fuck yourself.”

Perlman sent a second video message to Arkansas senator Tom Cotton, who also received criticism for his questions to Jackson at the confirmation hearing. The actor called Cotton “a fucking white slaver piece of shit.”
