Ted Cruz gave a great interview this morning to an NBC host who tried twice to corner him on his response to the same-sex marriage ruling, comparing it to a supreme court ruling that invalidated laws that prohibited interracial marriage. But Cruz was having none of that, explaining that there was no religious backing for that kind of law. Cruz instead took the ‘elite’ justices on, explaining how they violated their oath and why they must be held accountable.

Ping!
Thanks for the ping Jane!
Just say “no” to entrapment.
Thanks for posting this. I tried the link from your comment on another thread, but honestly the buffering is so endless that it was unwatchable.
I hope Cruz shined as usual! Maybe I can find a transcript.
Savannah got herself schooled! For free!

LOVE ME MY TEDDY C!
Here it is on Youtube. Maybe the buffering won’t be so bad there?

Soory to hear you had buffering problems. I was able to watch the entire clip, without any hiccups.
It’s a great interview...and, I will give Savannah this...even though Ted had complete command of the facts, she did not go snarky on him (like other lib hosts usually do).
Don’t mess with Ted!
I happened to catch the interview. Savannah Gutherie pressed him that his opposition to gay marriage was the same as the previous discriminatory laws preventing interracial marriage. I don’t think he responded all that well. He failed to point out that the opposition to gay marriage involved protecting the from day one historical male female institution of marriage itself, and that opposition to interracial marriage was about race, not about the male female institution of marriage.
Thanks for the direct links ;^)
I’m hoping someone will post the newsbusters interview of Ted from yesterday (?)…by Howard Kurtz. First of all, I (fwiw) already liked Ted, now I love the guy. He skewered the press’ coverage (non) of Hillary as that idiot Kurtz sat there with a patronizing smile. Bye bye Howie, Ted destroyed you. Howard acted scoffingly towards Cruz as if Ted was talking absolute nonsense. Uh, no, he was merley pointing out what a disaster the press is and Hillary.
Walker, Cruz…my top two at this juncture.
What is there to trap? It is a vile and unnatural behavior that the courts have forced the entire country to recognize as equal to THE union that produces all future generations.
Saying something doesn’t make it true. You cannot force respect. You might force silence, but even then the truth will still be spoken in whispers until it can regain ground.
Where does Cruz go since he already took the “states rights” path and acknowledged in a filing b that gat marriage is legirltimate.
ping for later
I hope he inquired about the host’s adversarial stance toward Christians (if there was such a stance apparent).
It will take someone MUCH, MUCH sharper than that bimbo to corner Cruz.
He did not allow her to distract with the interacial question because it would be accepting a narrative that it had anything to do with same sex. It does not, and people know it.
He could have made her a fool for asking but was gracious enough not to waste the time.
He gets on these interviews and he talks to the people not the interviewer.
That is what he does so right in these situations.
Yeah. I thought his response to the effect that there was no religious backing of the prohibition against interracial marriages opened him up to the counter-argument (which has already popped up on leftist sites, if you google for the Cruz interview) that there were, in fact, religious arguments made against interracial marriages.
She tried to keep the conversation on her one talking point: comparing same sex marriage to interracial marriage. Didn't work. Cruz answered then, moved on. Bwahahaha!
He takes the Constitutional path.
