Actor Jon Cryer was engaged in a political clash over the weekend with Republican congressman Matt Gaetz who tweeted that Charlie Sheen “Totally carried Two and a Half Men.”
Entertainment Weekly reports:
The Twitter war of words started after Cryer slammed the Republican congressman from Florida for his record on Saturday while endorsing Gaetz’s opponent, Phil Ehr.
“Rep. @mattgaetz invited a white supremacist to the State of the Union, attempted to intimidate a federal witness, and endorsed a sociopathic bigot who applauded the deaths of migrants for congress,” Cryer tweeted.
In response, Gaetz, an outspoken supporter of President Donald Trump, tweeted back: “Charlie Sheen totally carried two and a half men.”

Is that why, after he left, it lasted for 4 more years and I won an Emmy for Best Actor in a Comedy? https://t.co/VTE6g2yjZp
