After fielding a few questions from reporters about gay rights on Tuesday, presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) went off on “the left” and began discussing the Islamic State’s treatment of gay people.
“Is there something about the left — and I am going to put the media in this category — that is obsessed with sex?” Cruz asked reporters at an event in Beaumont, Texas, according to the Texas Tribune.
“ISIS is executing homosexuals — you want to talk about gay rights?” Cruz continued. “This week was a very bad week for gay rights because the expansion of ISIS, the expansion of radical, theocratic, Islamic zealots that crucify Christians, that behead children and that murder homosexuals — that ought to be concerning you far more than asking six questions all on the same topic.”
Cruz railed against “mandatory same-sex marriage” and criticized a reporter for asking about his views on gay marriage, according to the Texas Tribune.
“With respect, I would suggest not drawing your questions from MSNBC,” he said to a reporter. “They have very few viewers and they are a radical and extreme partisan outlet.”
He’s a funny little man.
I don’t mean ha-ha funny either.
Ted Cruz is real low-life scum. Sorry.
Better obsessed with sex than obsessed with trying to control how other people have sex.
I’m not exactly sure what point he was trying to make about ISIS, given that Cruz has basically embraced a theocratic platform, himself.
“With respect, I would suggest not drawing your questions from MSNBC,” he said to a reporter. “They have very few viewers and they are a radical and extreme partisan outlet.”
That’s exactly what I think when I read a story about ¨Morning Joe.¨
