Seth Rogen Bashes Senators On Twitter For Walking Out On His Alzheimer's Disease Speech; Which Senators Left The Room?

Actor and comedian Seth Rogen wrote a speech for the U.S. Senate about Alzheimer's desease Thursday, sharing the story of how the disease had an impact on his mother-in-law and described "the ugly truth" of it. The problem was some senators walked out during his speech, and Seth Rogen took to Twitter to poke fun at some senators.

Seth Rogen bashed 16 U.S. Senators on his Twitter page that walked out on him or failed to show up during his speech and a list of names has been revealed. Seth Rogen ended up making the plea to a near-empty Capitol Hill hearing, only to watch the numbers dwindle further as several politicians left before he'd finished and followed up his speech with an appearance on US programme Hardball, during which he personally named each of the 16 Senators who either left mid-speech or failed to show up.

"It's indicative of a mentality that we find so frustrating. It seems like these people don't care," Rogen's told the show's host, Chris Matthews.

The tweets he wrote on Twitter were pretty funny and offensive to some, here are the tweets:

.@SenatorKirk pleasure meeting you. Why did you leave before my speech? Just curious.

Not sure why only two senators were at the hearing. Very symbolic of how the Government views Alzheimer's. Seems to be a low priority. — Seth Rogen (@Sethrogen) February 26, 2014

All those empty seats are senators who are not prioritizing Alzheimer's. Unless more noise is made, it won't change. pic.twitter.com/xDW6tlMHmH
