Sen. Ted Cruz got in a Twitter battle with actor Mark Hamill and lost - badly
By Heather Leighton
Updated 11:23 am, Monday, December 18, 2017 On Sunday, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz took to Twitter to use a "Star Wars" reference about net neutrality to actor Mark Hamill, but his explanation wasn't well received.
"Luke, I know Hollywood can be confusing, but it was Vader who supported govt power over everything said & done on the Internet. That's why giant corps (Google, Facebook, Netflix) supported the FCC power grab of net neutrality," Cruz tweeted at Hamill Sunday, using the incorrect Twitter handle for Hamill.
"Reject the dark side: Free the net!" Cruz concluded his tweet.
Within an hour, the veteran "Star Wars" actor fired back with a quick response.
"Thanks for smarm-spaining it to me," Hamill wrote. "I know politics can be confusing, but you'd have more credibility if you spelled my name correctly. I mean IT'S RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF YOU! Maybe you're just distracted from watching porn at the office again."
