Ted Cruz Makes Disgusting Bacon Using 'Machine Gun'

Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) is hoping for a viral hit (in the vein of Sen. Lindsey Graham) when he teamed up with Independent Journal Review on Monday to cook bacon with a "machine gun."

Spoiler: It's disgusting.

"There are few things I enjoy more than on weekends, cooking breakfast with the family," Cruz said. "Of course in Texas, we cook bacon a little differently than most folks."

Cruz then wrapped bacon around the barrel of a machine gun and fired 4 magazines of ammunition.

Here's the result:

2. I don't think 4 30 rounds mags of 5.56 would cook bacon enough.

I know after 4 mag dumps with my AR's the barrels are hot, but not that hot.

7. A "modest proposal" for the GOP debates

Given the candidate's beliefs on gun control and their adherence to NRA precepts and policies, they should be unanimous in allowing the audience to be heavily armed ( I suggest loaded automatic weapons) and not subject to invasive background checks.
Besides, it would make for great TV!!!

Walk the walk cowboys!!

"Never go full Cruz."

Two of the best comments.

I keep waiting for evidence of that massive intellect he's supposed to have, and I get full auto-cooked bacon stunts, instead. Talk about a horrific misread of evolving public sentiment.

12. Maybe I could cook bacon wrapped around the bowl of a bong.

Both would be illegal (provided there was weed in the bong), but my setup wouldn't have the ability to kill people.

Who would willfully create such additional, pointless work for themselves, having to clean bacon drippings from their weapon?
