In what appeared to be a moment of misspeaking, anti-LGBTQ+ Republican Sen. Ted Cruz (TX) said in a recent congressional speech, “How about we all come together and say ‘Let’s stop attacking pedophiles’?”
During a congressional hearing on the current president’s actions addressing crime in cities — which seems mostly to be insulting large city mayors, ignoring higher-crime areas in red states, and then sending in armed federal officers against the mayors’ wishes — Sen. Cruz referred to Sen. Cory Booker’s (D-NJ) plea for Democrats and Republicans to “come together and have bipartisan agreement.”
“I think that’s a great idea. We should have bipartisan agreement,” Cruz said. “How about we all come together and say, ‘Let’s stop murder’? How about we all come together and say, ‘Let’s stop rape’? How about we all come together and say, ‘Let’s stop attacking pedophiles’?”
Same article as September for those curious if Raphael did it again, it’s just an old article.
The more time passes the more I realize how widespread the problem of rich and powerful people living under a completely different set of rules has taken effect. They are abusing this situation to a point where they have developed their own subculture and much looser morality standards. They can’t even help themselves but let it slip that they think that being a pedophile is considered normal now.
And that’s just the tip of the lawlessness and moral depravity iceberg. We’ve seen on increasing occasions that they don’t even care about hiding it anymore because Trump has shown them that there are no consequences.

Not that I think it’s unimportant, but I wish we’d keep things current here.
Oh… No idea how it resurfaced in my feed.
Inevitable.
Hope you’re proud of your representation, Texas.
They are.
We’d attack policy, but Republicans don’t have any.
Rafael cant suck enough pedo cock
His name is Raphael, not Ted.
I have negative love for the guy, but people have a right to call themselves what they want. Even shitty cowards.
While it’s true that Bruce Jenner is not their name even if they’re deeply horrid, it feels like Cruz here calls himself Ted so that he can get votes from racist people who wouldn’t elect him solely based on his name. I’m 50/50 on it.
Disagree
He’s in the files…
No, he’s not. He’s just that shitty of a person. Nobody likes him enough to invite him to a party. He’s actually a step down from Elon.
Still in the files, but in the “LET ME IIIINNN!” kind of way.
Maybe he was invited, but the weather was too nice in Texas at the time.
Ted, you stupid motherfucker, how about we start executing them instead of protecting them?
They should just be forced to work in old folks’ homes. Cleaning bedpans and making meatloaf, not a child in sight.
They are all terrorists and pedophiles.
I wish that homunculus of a fleshbag had the empathetic capacity to feel any kind of philia. It might make him about literally anything but himself.
Another banger from TheOnion
No wait
The GOP has lost all moral authority.
I like Ted Cruz because he’s not afraid to tell it like it is
Texas, the pedophile state. Don’t like it? Maybe get some new reps!
