Ron Perlman has sent an expletive-laden video message to Ted Cruz, slamming him for his choice of questions at a Supreme Court confirmation hearing for Ketanji Brown Jackson.

The Hellboy star, who had previously propositioned Cruz to a wrestling match, took to Twitter to share a video addressing the Texas senator, simply captioned: "Dear ⁦@tedcruz."

In the video, he went on to say: "Listen, I know how tempting it is to appeal to the real lowest form of humanity here in the United States. The bottom feeders, the people who pride themselves on hatred and un-education and inability to read and inability to understand the difference between true patriotism and the bull***t you’re selling."

As reported by The Independent, at the confirmation hearing on Tuesday, Cruz asked Brown Jackson a question on critical race theory, wanting to know whether she thought babies were racist.

He then turned her attention to a book titled Antiracist Baby by Dr Ibram Kendi and highlighted one of its illustrations, featuring a child and the words "[one should] confess when being racist".

Perlman continued in his video: "I know how tempting it is to play to those people, because at least you have a base. But Jesus Christ, Ted, for somebody with a really, really small d**k, you get to be a bigger p***k every f***ing day. Go f*** yourself."

Cruz is yet to respond to Perlman's tweet.

This certainly isn't the first time the Sons of Anarchy actor had added his two cents to topics of national significance.

At the end of January, Perlman slammed critics of Adam McKay's climate change film Don’t Look Up, which was released in the latter half of 2021.

"F*** you and your self-importance and this self-perpetuating need to say everything bad about something just so that you can get some attention for something that you had no idea about creating," he said, speaking to The Independent.

"It’s corrupt. And it’s sick. And it’s twisted," he added.

He said he "understands that it’s part of how the internet has almost killed journalism. And now journalism is trying to do everything they can to co-opt and maintain their importance."
