Cruz rips ESPN for firing Curt Schilling over transgender post

Source: Politico

ESPN terminated Curt Schilling from the company for making an "obvious point" that grown male adult strangers should not be allowed to use the same bathroom as little girls, Ted Cruz said Thursday.

“ESPN fired Curt Schilling for making the rather obvious point that we shouldn’t allow grown male adult strangers alone in a bathroom with little girls," the Texas senator said in a 14-minute interview on the radio show of surrogate Glenn Beck, in which he discussed North Carolina's recent ban on transgender people from using facilities other than the ones corresponding to their gender at birth. "That’s a point anyone who is rational should understand.”

Cruz referred to his time as solicitor general of Texas dealing with "people who are repulsive perverts and criminals."

"There are some bad people in the world, and we shouldn’t be facilitating putting little girls alone in a bathroom with grown adult men," he said. "That is just a bad, bad, bad idea."

The Highwaymen were Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson and Johnny Cash. Although Jennings was born in Arizona, he is genally associated with Texas. Nelson was born in Lubbock and Kristofferson in Brownsville. That's three.

I added Ann Richaards and Jim Hightower. That's five.

Natalie Maines is the only Dixie Chick from Texas. That's six. Mollie Ivins makes seven.

Let's add Roy Rogers, Pecos Bill and Wendy Davis. That's ten.

Oh, and if you don't want to count Waylon Jennings, then . . .
