Sen. Ted Cruz said he'd leave an empty seat for the millions of unborn children killed by abortion in a dig at President Obama after he announced plans to leave a seat vacant during Tuesday's State of the Union address to honor victims of gun violence.

"If I'm elected POTUS, there'll be an empty seat for the over 50 million unborn children killed since Roe #Stand4Life," the Republican presidential candidate tweeted Friday.

Every Republican should leave an empty seat, their own, in honor of the millions of Americans who have lost jobs, homes and financial stability under Obama’s progressive horror show.

There should be an empty seat for every lie that Maobama tells. That would leave the chamber vacant.

Possibly, 1/2 of the DC metro area would be vacant LOL

If he didn’t have all the theater, he wouldn’t get any attention at all. He weighs in on every incident in the National news.....he doesn’t yet get that most people (even diehard Obamabots) have moved on and are looking to the future. He’s just trying to stay in the spotlight. I won’t be watching the SOTU. His voice and visage are like nails on a blackboard for me.

Ditto bump.

I’m dying for Obola to engage Ted directly.

You know Obola’s angry. But he knows Cruz is smart. But then, Obola’s pride is screaming, “do it! You’re the best!”

So I hold out hope.

So what do all the full seats represent then? People who were SAVED by guns?

And I believe The empty seat represents his leadership, not gun violence victims

He-s trying to turn around what Clint Eastwood did to humiliate him with the empty chair- Dear leader can’t even come up with an original thought it seems

How about an empty seat for the US Ambassador killed in Libya?
