Ted Cruz: Let you and him fight

[rpannier]

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) challenged actor Ron Perlman to a wrestling match against Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) on Monday, with Cruz predicting the "Sons of Anarchy" and "Hellboy" star couldn't last five minutes with the former collegiate athlete and coach.

The challenge came after Perlman and Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) got into a Twitter spat over U.S. Soccer removing a requirement to stand during the national anthem before matches, which included Perlman calling Jordan "the ugliest politician walking.”

"Listen Hellboy. You talk good game when you’ve got Hollywood makeup & stuntmen," Cruz tweeted. "But I’ll bet $10k—to the nonpolitical charity of your choice—that you couldn’t last 5 min in the wrestling ring w/ @Jim_Jordan w/o getting pinned. You up for it? Or does your publicist say too risky?"

Tweet back at cruz from Perlman
I tell you what teddy boy, since mentioning jim jordan and wrestling is... problematic, why don’t we say fuck him and just make it you & me. I’ll give 50k to Black Lives Matter and you can keep all the tax payer money you were thinking of spending.

Manly there Ted. I challenge you and another guy to fight each other

1. Cruz is the most obnoxious person on the effing planet!

[SWBTATTReg]

2. Ted Cruz is also kind of a coward too, volunteering someone else to fight Perlman, instead of ...

Cruz. Wonder if Gym Jordan is happy w/ being so willingly volunteered in a wrestling match?

3. He has upgraded that to him taking on Cruz

and Moscow Mitch at the same time.

4. Mistake for Mitch

Ted would be like those wrestlers from the 80's. The one's who were in the corner and when their partner came to tag them in, would pull their hand away leaving their partner to get a further ass-whomping

5. LOL

6. This reminds me of when

Stephen Colbert beat Jason Chaffetz at leg wrestling:

7. Argh!

Perlman was born April 13, 1950. Cruz was born December 22, 1970. Jim Jordan was born February 17, 1964.

So manly man Cruz refuses to fight the guy that is 20 years older than himself!

[grumpyduck]

8. Man, am I living in a different world.

Back in my day, you challenged another guy to fight you. You didn't challenge him to fight someone else.

Besides, if Gym-Boy is up for it, HE should challenge Ron.

I don't know if Cow-Boy is a coward or just plain fucking stupid.

[rpannier]

10. Is Cow-Boy is a coward or just plain fucking stupid?

Yes

[grumpyduck]

11. Well, I guess that covers it.

9. Rich Lowry insulted liberals calling them weak or no good in a fight

So Al Franken challenged him to a fist fight. Lowry declined.

12. Can the gop sink any lower?

[2naSalit]

14. Just like in algebra where the answer is always equal to x...

The answer to your question is always yes.

[TexasBushwhacker]

13. Ron Perlman is 70

Jim - no jacket, no problem - Jordan is 56.

BTW, Jim Jordan competed in the 134 lb weight class. Damn that's skinny.

15. Meth will do that to ya. ...nt
