Ted Cruz, longtime fan of 'The Princess Bride,' swipes at cast members' plans to reunite [View all]
to raise money for Democrats
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), a longtime fan of "The Princess Bride," took aim at cast members of the cult classic over the weekend after reports emerged of their plans to reunite for a fundraiser supporting Democrats in Wisconsin.
Cast members from the film will be taking part in a virtual table read for the fundraiser - which a site for the event said will feature actors Robin Wright, Cary Elwes, Mandy Patinkin and Billy Crystal.
In a tweet reacting to the news on Saturday, Cruz referred to lines from Inigo Montoya, a character portrayed by Patinkin in the 1987 film.
"Do you hear that Fezzik? That is the sound of ultimate suffering. My heart made that sound when the six-fingered man killed my father," he wrote in the tweet.
