Ted Cruz says Democratic opponent will ban Texas barbecue
In the midst of an unexpectedly tight race to keep his Senate seat, Ted Cruz (R-TX) said that his opponent, Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D-TX), would ban Texas barbecue if elected. Texans aren't sure if he was kidding.
At a Cruz campaign stop in Columbus, Texas, on Saturday, demonstrators from the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals handed out tofu outside a restaurant where Cruz was speaking.
"I’ve got to say, they summed up the entire election," Cruz told the crowd inside. “If Texas elects a Democrat, they’re going to ban barbecue across the state.”
The demonstration was in response to another attempted Cruz zinger last week. At a campaign stop in Humble, Texas, Cruz said, "Liberals desperately want to turn Texas blue. They want us to be just like California, right down to tofu and silicon and dyed hair.”

Cruz's desperation is pathetic.
He actually claimed that Beto wants to ban BBQ. I thought this was a joke until I looked it up.
What's his next desperate lie to appeal to Ted's caricature of a Texan? That Beto wants to ban armadillos, pickups and cowboy boots?
