Ted Cruz Says Beto O'Rourke Can Have 'Double Occupancy Cell With Hillary Clinton

Utterly vile.

Ted Cruz Says Beto O’Rourke Can Have ‘Double Occupancy Cell With Hillary Clinton’ After Supporter Chants ‘Lock Him Up’

By Juliana Rose Pignataro On 10/23/18 at 4:54 PM

During a rally in Georgetown, Texas, on Tuesday, for Republican Senator Ted Cruz, a supporter shouted “Lock him up” in reference to Cruz’s opponent, Beto O’Rourke. Cruz replied that O’Rourke could share a cell with former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

“Well, you know, there’s a double-occupancy cell with Hillary Clinton,” Cruz said. “Ya’ll are gonna get me in trouble with that,” he added.

Cruz and O’Rourke are battling for office in Texas. Should O’Rourke win, he would become the first Democratic senator in the state in at least 20 years. The “lock her up” chant referenced at the rally Tuesday could be heard often during President Donald Trump’s campaign in 2016, in reference to Clinton. Some Trump supporters used it as a rallying cry against the Democratic nominee.

Trump himself, in a shift, has been vocal in his support for Cruz. The president previously dubbed the senator “Lyin’ Ted,” but has since changed his tune. Trump has now dubbed Cruz "beautiful Ted" and "Texas Ted," saying he "actually likes him a lot."

Cruz and trump are together. Why anyone would vote for the two idiots is beyond me. The lock her/him up shtick is getting old real fast. A so called president calling a candidate "beautiful Ted" and "Texas Ted" and saying he "actually likes him alot" after calling him Lyin Ted and inferring no one in DC likes him is amazing.

said irresponsible things in public, thereby misleading the public in major ways, and both are incompetent in the performance of their duties. If anything, the people that they have both slandered repeatedly, should sue the heck out of both of these two.

Now that there is at least one pro-Trump crowd calling for another one of Trump's opponents to be jailed we should now know that the lock her up chants have and had nothing to do with illegal activity and law enforcement, but everything to do with taking the rights of the opposition away. Trump supporters do not want people who break the law thrown in jail; they want anyone who does not agree with them, or Trump to be thrown in jail.
