Ted Cruz on Thursday criticized the backlash to North Carolina's transgender bathroom law after Republican presidential rival Donald Trump indicated he opposed the controversial measure.
"We have gone off the deep end. This is absurd," Cruz said during an interview with conservative radio host Glenn Beck, a backer of the GOP White House hopeful's campaign.
Beck asked Cruz how he'd argue that his position isn't aimed at targeting transgender people but rather at "the heterosexual pervert" who would try to flout gender-specific bathroom laws.
Cruz pointed to his two daughters, ages 5 and 8, arguing that the younger one "knows the difference between boys and girls."
"You've got the Obama Education Department suing to try to force junior highs to let teenage boys to shower with teenage girls," he later said.
"That's crazy. It's not a reasonable position," Cruz continued. "The idea that grown men would be allowed alone in a bathroom with little girls — you don't need to be a behavior psychologist to realize that bad things can happen, and any prudent person wouldn't allow that."
"When you deal 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. That is just a bad, bad, bad idea," the Texas senator said, mentioning his experience as solicitor general in Texas handling cases of "child molesters, of pedophiles."
Trump earlier Thursday morning said North Carolina unnecessarily mandated transgender people use public restrooms that correspond to their biological gender in legislation aimed at preventing cities and counties from passing their own nondiscrimination ordinances.

I know some you couldn’t tell.
Sounds like Bill Clinton’s platform.
Sure, I agree. Those come and go, who knows. But what about the ones you can? I mean why should women have to feel uncomfortable about the obvious ones? Shouldn’t businesses have the right to make their women customers feel comfortable, if it is a business decision?
Men and women are different in their sexual attractions. A man who claims to be a woman who is still attracted to women is not a lesbian, right?

“They are right. You guys don’t care what he says or believes. You know that is garbage. We have to draw a line in the sand somewhere about this immoral garbage. Good to know you guys are on the side of the liberals. We at least know where you stand. Have fun with your girls going in with guys who just “declare” they are women.”
You really think that men in drag had never gone to a ladies bathroom before and this is just suddenly a new behavior?LMAO! like trump said leave it alone. no sense in getting we-weed up over a thing that has always taken place in both men and ladies rest- rooms. by the way it was against the law for a pervert to touch you. always has been.
So you have no problem with a man, who claims he’s a woman, walking around the women’s locker room at your local gym with no clothes on. I don’t know about men’s locker rooms since I’ve never been in one, but I know for a fact that women walk around with nothing on in their locker room. Since he thinks it’s a “she” it would not be perverted. It would be discriminating to make him put his clothes on.
Well “LMAO” I am, as you said, “weweed” over this because when they did and were caught there were prosecuted. Now nothing will be wrong with it. Wait till you find a man gawking at your little girl or your wife in the ladies room. Will you get “weweed” up?
“So you have no problem with a man, who claims he’s a woman, walking around the women’s locker room at your local gym with no clothes on.”
question was in regards to public toilets. a man in drag would be embarrassed in either a male or female locker room. same with a woman in a mans locker room. no doubt also be threatened or worse, regardless of laws.
Trump: Transgenders Should ‘Use the Bathroom That They Feel Is Appropriate’
...’Now nothing will be wrong with it. Wait till you find a man gawking at your little girl or your wife in the ladies room. Will you get “weweed” up?”
My females don’t pee standing up, and unlike men’s rooms don’t have urinals on the wall. so the only ones gawking would be females trying to pass as a man. so what?
Hopefully trump will at least keep the Oval Office sacred. Lol.
No, it would be men calling themselves females. Hope you enjoy it.
Absolutely!!! I am appauled that there is ANY candidate running on the Republican side of the aisle, condoning this..
Our nation will rot from within long before she is attacked from without....
# Number 1.use number 2 for all else on the mind of a parent. If you have a penis, use the mens bathroom, I don't care what you have done to the rest of your body. These poor souls are sick mentally and spiritually, but have no sympathy for them, it was a choice they made.
sorry if you had children in elementary school, you would care a great deal as to having perverts deciding on what bathroom to use.
First off I raised 5 kids, the eldest one has a PhD in physics. I never sent a single one of them to an elementary school public or private.
I know children from other parents who send their kids to public elementary school and they keep it locked down ,so the only perverts would be the adult teachers themselves.
If you think some guy in drag that uses the toilet in a womans room is something new, then you really are either in denial or have been brainwashed by the MSM.
...I also raised 5 kids, all in their 50’s, 13 grandchildren and most have already grad. from college, one got a fine arts degree at Michigan University, one is master Sargent in the Air Force, another granddaughter has been to many countries doing help with children is poor countries, also a grad. from Brooklyn College and I cannot keep up on all she does. Other son has 2 college each on a full scholarship. I could go on about all of them just so you know I can also brag about my grandchildren, oh yes one got an Emmy at the age of 19, lives in California and recently opened his own business has been working in edited trailers for movies. You have probably seen one... I have to stop bragging about my kids and grand kids and still think those that think mixing sexes from k-through 12 and recently Target got into the business of mixing sexes (adults and children) are all enablers of pervert acts and make laws about it...
Put all the children in danger because less than 1% of the total population are noisy and won't shut up until they get they way.....I wonder when Target will be filing for bankruptcy. Hope you never have to use toilet facilities when you are out.....you never know who or what you'd run into.

Good that you are proud of your kids and grand kids.
I make it a point to not use public restrooms just because perverts have always frequented them,law or no except if I would piss myself otherwise. the point is it really is a non issue if a cross dresser had to pee and was made up like a woman already it would be safer and more discreet for him to go into a ladies room, go to a stall, sit down, pee and then leave.Like they always have done since the invention of indoor plumbing!
I will confess that I had to use a ladies room once in public as the mens room was closed for cleaning. the janitor made sure that the ladies room was cleared by my request before I went in. if you got to go, you got to go.
How does Batman know?
"I live in NYC - in Manhattan no less - and I have never seen one in a public bathroom."
