Sen. Cruz uses Monty Python movie clip to needle Harris on failing to visit the border

Sen. Ted Cruz used a clip from a 1975 Monty Python movie on Wednesday to mock Vice President Kamala Harris’ leadership on the border crisis, amid a record-breaking surge in illegal immigrants showing up at the southern crossing.

The GIF snippet from “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” shows knights dropping their shields as they flee.

“Run away! Run away!” words on the video say.

Cruz wrote next to the clip, “On the border crisis, Kamala invokes an old leadership style…” and linked to a report from CNN about how the vice president’s staff have been pushing back on criticism of her overseeing the border situation.

Her staff, according to the report, say she is focused on the “root causes” — the conditions in Central America that are forcing people to come to the US.

They say Harris wants a portfolio of tasks that will allow her to win political victories looking toward her future, especially if she embarks on a presidential run.

Maybe the dead parrot skit would have been better but good for Senator Cruz regardless.

I wonder if the Monty Python skits could be made in todays environment. They didn’t shy away from anything that was worthy of being poked fun at.

I still like the skit in THE LIFE OF BRIAN in which Stan suddenly wants to become a woman named Loretta, and have babies.

He's starting to show some real political skill here. He's clearly learned and is still learning ! Far far better performance then that politically immature bone-headed run for Prez he did in 2020.

I still think temperament-wise he would be better on the Supreme Court. Also he would have a longer more permenant effect then being President for 4 or 8 years. Just wouldn't have the glory.

My question is, why are you still using Facebook?

So many people here bitch about Facebook yet still use it.

Is it like crappy Heroin, one just can't get off the junk cold turkey?

Sould there be a 12 step program FacebookersAnonymous?

When water is cascading over the top of the dam you don't commission ecological studies to find out the root cause of why the dam is overflowing. No, you fix the immediate problem first and then worry about how you got to that point.

President or Supreme Court Justice either works for me.
