Jim Carrey fires back at 'Joe McCarthy wanna-be' Cruz

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 men’s contentious Twitter exchange, with Cruz just a day before ripping Carrey’s 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.”

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