Xena’s Lucy Lawless Blames Kevin Sorbo of Hercules for Antifa Conspiracy Theory

Kevin Sorbo and Lucy lawless stood side-by-side on several occasions as the stars of “Hercules: The Legendary Journey” and its spin-off “Xena: Warrior Princess”, respectively.

The incredibly popular ’90s action TV series made them both household names and stars – it took Wednesday’s Washington insurgency to make them enemies.

Lawless was absolutely ruthless in responding to his former co-star and colleague after he started sharing unfounded conspiracy theories that the rioters were in fact from the extremist anti-fa group masquerading as Trump supporters.

The siege, which lasted several hours and left five people dead, including a police officer on Thursday, was an attack on the American democratic system, and its perpetrators proudly stood without a mask and shared their faces across the world.

Overall, those who have been identified so far are right-wing extremists. Many believe President Trump’s inflammatory comments before the siege at a rally (not to mention his baseless allegations of election fraud for weeks) prompted the violence that followed.

Encountered with vitriol from members of both parties – and already resulting in the resignation of several people from Trump’s White House, articles of impeachment being drafted and calls for its removal via the 25th Amendment – there is currently a zero tolerance for the unsubstantiated and dangerous conspiracy theories that so many Trump supporters have espoused.

Perhaps this is why Lawless has been so ruthlessly effective in his withdrawal from Sorbo, spreading unsubstantiated and unsubstantiated claims that it was “left agitators disguised as Trump supporters” who in fact infiltrated and desecrated the government. US Capitol.

“They don’t look like patriots to me,” he captioned his share of the misrepresentation.

“No, Peanut. They are not patriots,” Lawless replied, calling him a facilitator in his tags. “These are your flying monkeys, local terrorists, QAnon actors. These are the assholes that come out and do bad orders from people like you who like to coil them up like toys and let them do their worst.”

Sorbo had already doubled down on his allegations, tweeting that “ANTIFA led the charge in the Capitol building dressed as Trump supporters.

There is absolutely no evidence to support this, as there is growing evidence that pro-Trump and far-right groups were represented, according to Mashable.

One of the main sources of the antifa conspiracy theory was a conservative-leaning Washington Times article which claimed that a little-known facial recognition company called XRVision had identified two people involved in the riot as members of the alleged group. .

The company has since denied that the images created by its software were made public, and the Times deleted the article. But not until some members of Congress also bought into the story, sharing similar feelings from Sorbo.

Sorbo didn’t respond to Lawless’s withdrawal, but fans absolutely loved the exchange, with one saying, “I always knew you would win in this 1v1. While others praised him. , a few have started sharing clips from their shows of Xena literally beating Hercules.
