While they once shared the small screen together as Xena and Hercules, Lucy Lawless and Kevin Sorbo have little in common these days.
The right-wing Sorbo, 62, who starred in Hercules: The Legendary Journey from 1995 to 1999, shared a photo on Twitter of some of the men who stormed the US Capitol on Wednesday, claiming, ‘They don’t look like patriots to me.’
He previously claimed that those who stormed the Capitol weren’t actually Trump supporters, but Antifa demonstrators, though Lawless, 52, who starred in the Hercules spin-off Xena: The Warrior Princess from 1995 to 2001, called him out.

Kevin’s tweet: The right-wing Sorbo, 62, who starred in Hercules: The Legendary Journey from 1995 to 1999, shared a photo on Twitter of some of the men who stormed the US Capitol on Wednesday, claiming, ‘They don’t look like patriots to me’
The photo featured one bearded man holding a red flag that read Trump for President and another man wearing a Viking helmet holding an American flag.
The original tweet asked, ‘Do these look like Trump supporters? Or Leftist agitators disguised as Trump supporters?’
When Sorbo tweeted, ‘They don’t look like patriots to me,’ Lawless responded, ‘No, Peanut. They are not Patriots. They are your flying monkeys,homegrown terrorists, QAnon actors.’

‘They are the douchebags that go out and do the evil bidding of people like you who like to wind them up like toys and let them do their worst,’ she added, with the hashtags #keepingYourFilthyHandsclean and #enabler.
Another fan also shared Sorbo’s hypocrisy, as illustrated in four tweets from Wednesday morning and afternoon.
Sorbo first retweeted a woman who said, ‘People are storming the Capitol in DC right now,’ with the actor adding, ‘It’s happening.’

Less than an hour later he tweeted, ‘History is being made…’ but another hour later he changed his tune considerably.
‘To those storming the Capitol building: Please be careful, do not act like ANTIFA. Respect the police and know they are mostly on our side, they are simply trying to do their job,’ he said.
The final tweet was just 45 minutes after the last, where he then claimed, ‘ANTIFA led the charge into the Capitol building dressed as Trump supporters.’

The fan tweeted to Lawless, ‘Lucy… Here’s the best acting he’s ever done…,’ which Lawless responded, ‘Oooooh, PEANUT!!!’
Sorbo never publicly responded to Lawless’ tweets, though he continued tweeting about Antifa being responsible for the Capitol insurrection.
Sorbo most recently starred in The Penitent Thief, while Lawless voiced Aeosian Queen in the animated series Star Wars: Resistance.
