A gossip site is spreading the idea that Hollywood actor Randy Quaid will challenge Sen. Bernie Sanders to become Vermont's next senator.

The site Deadline cited a tweet from Quaid Nov. 30 that said, "Some very powerful people representing a super pac have approached me about running against Bernie Sanders for senator. 100%" That tweet no longer appears on Quaid's Twitter timeline. And there were reports Quaid would base a reality series on the long shot bid to unseat Sanders.

Quaid is responding to the rumors on Twitter with #FAKENEWS and a link to the story, but no clarification on whether or not he actually plans to run.

Quaid and his wife, Evi, moved to Vermont in 2015.
