Cruz Says ORourke Wants to Ban Barbecue
September 17, 2018 at 8:00 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard
Said Cruz: When I got here someone told me that even PETA was protesting and giving out barbecued tofu, so I got to say, they summed up the entire election: If Texas elects a Democrat, theyre going to ban barbecue across the state of Texas.
He added: You want to talk about an issue to mobilize the people, and Im talking everybody. So I want to thank PETA and I do want to tell PETA youre going to have to disclose to the FEC that by coming and protesting and giving away tofu, that you have given an in-kind contribution to my campaign by demonstrating just how bad things can get.

(58,785 posts)Our northern guards might not have the right experience, but we could send some from down south. They're skilled at forcibly keeping refugees from getting that one legal foot across to American soil and/or just bodily throwing them back into Mexico.
Give Cruz that jackboot he loves to talk about in the rear, repeat until the Canadian guards finally miss the block, and it's done. Yes, I know. They'd throw him back and regroup for the next kick.

(1,474 posts)and Texas voters ARE really f*****g stupid. When bigotry and prejudice decide who you vote for, you ain't very f*****g smart. Damn I am sick of repugs getting elected here. And what I say about bigotry and prejudice is not conjecture, I know too many Texans who are blinded by xenophobia.

(25,537 posts)Isn't barbecue one of the strongest bipartisan unifiers in the South? ... "by coming and protesting and giving away tofu"

(21,573 posts)Does Cruz that understand that senators work to enact laws at the federal level, not state? How could Beto ban barbecue when he would not even be serving in the taxes government?

(11,738 posts)Ted Cruz is so out of touch, he thinks that the US Senator from Texas has power to make laws in Texas. What an ignorant (and desperate) thing to say.
