Cruz had brought up Pittsburgh on Wednesday night while tweeting his dismay over the United States's reentry into the Paris agreement, shortly after Biden signed the executive order.

"By rejoining the Paris Climate Agreement, President Biden indicates he’s more interested in the views of the citizens of Paris than in the jobs of the citizens of Pittsburgh," Cruz wrote. "This agreement will do little to affect the climate and will harm the livelihoods of Americans."

Later Wednesday night, Cruz engaged in war of words on Twitter over the move with comedian Seth Rogen, who called the Texas Republican a "fascist."

"Go encourage a white supremacist insurrection again you f---ing clown," Rogen tweeted at Cruz.

Cruz fired back at Rogan, condemning the "22 Jump Street" star's "charming, civil, educated response."

"If you’re a rich, angry Hollywood celebrity, today’s Dems are the party for you," Cruz added. "If you’re blue-collar, if you’re a union member, if you work in energy or manufacturing...not so much."
