Lucy Lawless Dragged Kevin Sorbo For Pushing Antifa Conspiracy Theories
It feels like almost everyone has had something to say about the group of MAGAs who broke into the Capitol building in Washington D.C. on Wednesday. Depending on which corner of the internet you’re from, you might have been horrified, shocked, angry, disgusted, or whatever is the word that describes the guilty feeling you get while laughing at memes. Or, if you’re Kevin Sorbo, former star of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and current…person who exists, your first thought might be to jump online and start spreading conspiracy theories about the mob being left-wing anti-fascists in disguise. Lucy Lawless, TV’s Xena: Warrior Princess, wasn’t about to let that happen. Xena whipped a metaphorical chakram at Kevin and told him to knock it off with that kind of misinformation.
Kevin, who has been a very vocal Trump supporter and a bit of a COVID hoaxer, echoed the conspiracy theory that the mob who stormed Capitol Hill were left-wing “Antifa” members in right-wing MAGA cosplay, in an attempt to instigate violence and make Trump’s supporters look bad. That theory has been dispelled about eight million ways because most of those idiots were dumb enough to post repeatedly on Facebook or wear their work ID badges. Still, Kevin Sorbo bought into the conspiracy.
ANTIFA led the charge into the capitol building dressed as Trump supporters.

To all the people who actually believe that it was Trump supporters who started the riot today:
Where was antifa and BLM to counter? They show up to every single event, so why not this one?— Kevin Sorbo (@ksorbs) January 7, 2021
750 billion put into national defense every year and people honestly believe the center of American politics fell in 2 hours to a bunch of people with trump flags?

They don’t look like patriots to me… https://t.co/ABZG2s0G4v

Yes, Kevin, the one in the middle does look like he just slammed a fistful of molly and is rolling hard during Girl Talk’s set at Coachella 2012. But that’s not exactly proof he’s a hipster liberal in disguise. None of what Kevin tweeted or re-tweeted made much sense. That’s where Xena comes in. Lucy began by calling him a peanut, then denounced the mob as domestic terrorists, before accusing Kevin himself of being complicit in the violence.
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. #keepingYourFilthyHandsclean #enabler

I guess that effectively kills any chance of a Xena/Hercules reboot in the future. That’s ok. I don’t know how well Kevin would be able to swing a sword in one hand while using his other to keep his tinfoil hat from falling off.
Obviously, Xena destroyed Hercules with one reply, but I think we can all agree that the only way this situation could have gotten any better would be if Gabrielle had popped in to help Xena tag-team on Hercules. Although, if I know the internet, someone is absolutely typing up that 1,000-word fantasy as we speak. And in that version, after they’re done destroying Hercules with common sense and hard facts, Xena turns to Gabrielle and says, “Okay, I think we’re done here. That’s enough nuts for you and me today.”
