Sarah Silverman has a bone to pick with Marco Rubio.
The 45-year-old comedian, not one to keep her opinions to herself, took a jab at Rubio on Twitter over his recent comments about the Zika virus.
"I don't like name calling and I'm trying to stay open but that's a real sexist & c*nty move @marcorubio," she tweeted on Saturday.
The I Smile Back star was responding to Rubio's recent statements that he doesn't believe pregnant women infected with the Zika virus should have the right to an abortion, even if the child might be born with severe microcephaly.
"I understand a lot of people disagree with my view -- but I believe that all human life is worthy of protection of our laws," the senator told Politico. "And when you present it in the context of Zika or any prenatal condition, it's a difficult question and a hard one."
"But if I'm going to err, I'm going to err on the side of life," he said.
Rubio's statements are particularly relevant after Congress failed to pass a Zika-relief bill in June. The virus has spread quickly throughout the 45-year-old senator's state of Florida, with 422 cases so far, more than any other state in the nation.
While Silverman and Rubio clearly have thoughts on the issue, another celebrity has recently entered herself into the Zika conversation -- Hope Solo. The soccer star's controversial Zika posts got her boo'd by the crowd at the 2016 Rio Olympics.
The posts in question, of course, were Solo's Instagrams from last month, where she snapped a selfie while wearing a mosquito net and holding a huge bottle of insect repellant. "Not sharing this!!! Get your own! #zikaproo #RoadtoRio," she captioned the shot.
While the goalkeeper refuses to back down from her statements, she did offer an explanation for the controversial posts: she wants to "start a family."
