Seth Rogen isn’t a terrorist who has long planned a presidential assassination along with Miley Cyrus and James Franco. If he was working with Miley Cyrus we would know — his movies would have more women in them! (I’m going for a tone of light humor that nevertheless seethes with feminist rage here. How’m I doing?) Nevertheless, today an extreme right-wing website accused “Rogan,” Cyrus, and Franco of conspiring to murder the president in a large scale terrorist attack. “Liberalism is, in fact, a mental disorder,” the writer of the article reflects sadly.

Rogen took to Twitter today to soothe his fans who may have been riled by this story. Rogen, who may be this generation’s Mandela (I kid,) reassures fans that his captors allow him phone-access in his cell. “Haha,” he adds, and we heartily second the sentiment.

This is a right wing news website that says me and Franco and Miley Cyrus got arrested. Luckily they let me tweet from prison. Haha. https://t.co/KyAfqUrcyN

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.

Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.

At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.

Readers like you make it all possible. We’ve started our Passover Fundraising Drive, and we need 1,800 readers like you to step up to support the Forward by April 21. Members of the Forward board are even matching the first 1,000 gifts, up to $70,000.

This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism, because every dollar goes twice as far.
