Actor Jim Carrey dug into his public feud with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) on Tuesday, posting one of his trademark political paintings on Twitter that closely resembles Cruz with the words Some Greasy Joe McCarthy Wanna-Be at the top.

The painting is a continuation of the two mens contentious Twitter exchange, with Cruz just a day before ripping Carreys previous painting depicting Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey (R) as a fetus he suggests should have been aborted after she signed into law a near-total abortion ban in the state.
In his post criticizing Carrey, Cruz wrote instead of insults & dehumanizing rage, we should return to civility, a line Carrey took a shot at in his painting of Cruz.

Carrey also wrote, I thought I must be dreaming, but I haven't woken up yet. I guess this hypocrisy is the new American Dream.

Mr. Carrey aptly showcases the utter hypocrisy of Cruz, heck, of the entire repuke party

Both think they are the leader of the free world and can dictate their own rules of law.
