‘Xena’ Star Lucy Lawless Takes Down Kevin Sorbo’s Right-Wing Antifa Theory

Going full Warrior Princess…

It’s tough living through historical event after historical event when we’re only seven days into 2021, but none have yet been more shocking and callous as the fascist coup, following the attack on the Capitol in D.C, on January 6th.

Some prominent right-wing figures have tried to push the conspiracy that Antifa, a left-wing anti fascist, and anti-racist political movement in the United States, was behind Wednesday’s violent insurrection at the Capitol.

Kevin Sorbo, who is most famous for playing Disney’s Hercules in the Legendary Journey, falsely claimed on Twitter, that the deadly attack was the result of Antifa. The FBI has said there is no evidence to suggest that Antifa played any role in the attack.

“We have no indication of that at this time,” said FBI Assistant Director, Steven D’Antuno at a Friday press briefing.

Going further from his original tweet, Sorbo retweeted a tweet that again, falsely claimed that the mob was “leftist agitators.” He quote tweeted it, saying “They don’t look like patriots to me…”

In response to his comments, New Zealand star, Lucy Lawless, Warrior Princes ‘Xena’ went IN on him…

Sorbo and Lawless had both starred in “Hercules: The Legendary Journey” which eventually led to the “Xena: Warrior Princess” spinoff.

Xena’s utter public annihilation of Sorbo, consequently led to her trending on Twitter, with a sea of people hyping her up and coming to her defense.

Sorbo’s claim of Antifa’s motives may have been instigated by Trump lover and Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz, who spread the claims that Antifa was to blame for the attack, which left five people dead, including a police officer.

Speaking in the House Wednesday night after the attempted coup, Gaetz cited a Washington Times article that claimed a facial recognition company had identified two Antifa members among the crowd at the Capitol.

That story was removed by the outlet after BuzzFeed News reported that the facial recognition company said it was “outright false.”

The focus of Antifa quickly turned to who they are – and why there were there in the first place.

One of the most prominent “protestors” and arguably the most distinctive, was the warrior styled man with the American flag painted on his face, tribal tattoos on his arms and chest, and a furry hat with horns on his head.

Known as Jake Angeli, he is a known promoter of QAnon, a right-wring conspiracy theory based on the enigmatic posts of an individual known only as ‘Q.’ Q is supposedly a high-level government agent with Q-level security clearance.

He aroused the Antifa suspicion as he has been at a Black Lives Matter rally back in the summer of 2020, despite being a regular protestor at right-wing pro Trump rallies in Arizona, his hometown, since 2019.

His presence at the Black Lives Matter protest was to simply, counter-protest. 

Angeli has spent a great amount of time since 2019, spouting numerous conspiracy theories, largely related to QAnon. QAnon claim to hold inside knowing against the Trump administration’s secret battle against alleged secret investigations in Washington, like politicians running a supposed sex trafficking ring.

In the days following the attack, Sorbo has tweeted a string of tweets, still promoting the Antifa theory.
