Jon Cryer And Matt Gaetz Feud Over Charlie Sheen’s Role In ‘Two And A Half Men’

Gaetz fired back by taking aim at Cryer’s acting skills on Two and a Half Men. “Charlie Sheen totally carried two and a half men,” he tweeted.

Jon Cryer and Florida congressman Matt Gaetz battled out their political views via Twitter, but the war of words took an unexpected turn toward Charlie Sheen‘s role on Two and a Half Men.

The Pretty in Pink star, 55, sent a series of tweets on Saturday, September 5, showing his support for Phil Ehr and criticized the Republican politician, 38.

Cryer claimed Gaetz “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.”

Gaetz fired back by taking aim at Cryer’s acting skills on Two and a Half Men. “Charlie Sheen totally carried two and a half men,” he tweeted.

“Is that why, after he left, it lasted for 4 more years and I won an Emmy for Best Actor in a Comedy?” said Jon Cryer.

Gaetz replied, “What’s an Emmy? An award Hollywood gives itself? I win elections.”

Two and a Half Men was forced into a production hiatus at the end of season 8 after Sheen’s increasingly erratic behavior led to a rehab stint in 2010.

However, after he alum publicly attacked the show’s creator, Chuck Lorre, the network fired him from the show in 2011.
