Sen. Ted Cruz confronted by O’Rourke supporter on plane about Uvalde
The Hill ^ | 09/16/22 10:44 AM ET | BY JARED GANS

Posted on 09/18/2022 12:35:58 PM PDT by RandFan

A man confronted Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R) on an airplane flight on Thursday about the senator not supporting stricter gun legislation in the aftermath of the Uvalde school shooting that killed 19 students and two teachers in May.

A video posted on the man’s Twitter account shows Cruz getting his belongings after the flight landed in Houston. In the video, the man first jokes, “We’re in Houston? I thought we were going to Cancun,” an apparent reference to Cruz taking a family vacation to the Mexican city while intense winter storms caused many Texas residents to lose power in February.

After Cruz takes off his earbuds, the man tells him, “Senator, thank you for everything you’ve done since Uvalde. All those podcast episodes must have raised a lot of money for you.”

Cruz co-hosts a podcast called “Verdict” in which he discusses major political issues and news.

The man’s name on Twitter is listed as “Beto For Everyone,” referencing Texas Democratic gubernatorial nominee Beto O’Rourke. Cruz narrowly defeated O’Rourke for his Senate seat in 2018.

Should have had him thrown off the plane. Most strident liberals are unstable people.

Ted should have told the RAT to go diddle himself.

Old Bishop Fulton J. Sheen joke:
I took a plane trip this week. As the plane glided thousands of feet in the air among the clouds the passengers wanted to rest or read. But two out of control children were allowed by their mother to run in the aisles, yell and bother passengers for a long time.

Finally the overworked stewardesses were exhausted.
One suggested: “Why don’t you kids go outside and play?”

Good idea for Dem hecklers, too.

Yep. Conservatives want to discuss or debate, as the case may be.
Liberals want to preach, period.

In that restaurant when leftists jeered, surrounded and hounded Cruz and his wife, including pawing at her with their hands and shoving her, and blocking their exit, Cruz asked the hecklers repeatedly to let them leave and then said “God bless you” several times to them.

Maybe like many of you good people he is running out of cheeks to turn. Sorry to be cynical.

Could you imagine breeding Beatoff and AOC? Out of AOC by Beatoff.
Pediatric horse denistry would be in for a bonanza year.

Typical self righteous liberal f***. But the little treat here is the little Karen woman who timidly throws in her couple comments

Label him a “Stalker” and slap a restraining order on him.

Cruz should have invited him to come on the show/podcast for a debate, and made a big production out if it. Nothing disinfects like sunlight.
