Cruz Throws Back Gay Question To Reporter: "Do You Have A Personal Animosity Against Christians?"
RealClearPolitics Video ^ | May 20, 2015

Posted on 05/21/2015 10:32:15 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Presidential candidate Senator Ted Cruz made a campaign stop in Beaumont, TX on Tuesday, May 19. He was asked repeatedly by Kevin Steele from KMBT-TV about the issue of gay marriage, to which Cruz responds by turning the tables. (via Joe Walsh)

SEN. TED CRUZ: Let me ask a question: Is there something about the left, and I am going to put the media in this category, that is obsessed with sex? Why is it the only question you want to ask concerns homosexuals? Okay, you can ask those questions over and over and over again. I recognize that you're reading questions from MSNBC...

You're wincing. You don't want to talk about foreign policy. I recognize you want to ask another question about gay rights. Well, you know. ISIS is executing homosexuals. You want to talk about gay rights? This week was a very bad week for gay rights because the expansion of ISIS, the expansion of radical, theocratic, Islamic zealots that crucify Christians, that behead children and that murder homosexuals. That ought to be concerning you far more than asking six questions all on the same topic.

REPORTER: Do you have a personal animosity against gay Americans?

CRUZ: Do you have a personal animosity against Christians sir?[continued]

Cruz is my guy! I’ll donate time, money, whatever I need to. I went whole hog for Palin/McCain, even though McCain is a db.

Love it. Excellent. Only took 6 years for someone to think of such a simple comeback.

Those on the left simply need to accept the fact that Ted Cruz is just smarter than everyone else.

Media: Cruz is stupid. This is Cruz..buhbuhbuhbuh...He’s so dumb. Everyone hates him. He doesn’t have any friends. He is the biggest looooooser. Cruz has smelly shoes and he’ll always lose because he drinks booze with the jews.

They are going to have a hard time with the stupid Republican meme with Cruz.

Ted Cruz knows how to deal with the media unlike some of the “deer in the headlights” candidates we have now who stammer and sputter every time they get an uncomfortable question.

Beware of various “news” stories on this exchange. Some twist it. I actually heard a large segment on the radio and Cruz did very well.

This presents it fine. I am talking about the story that has been going around headlined, “Cruz denies animosity towards gay Americans” nonsense.

Finally, a Republican who can talk to adversarial reporters without saying stupid stuff.

I love the fact that he seizes the conversation liberals claim they want to have and drives it right back on them.

Sure like to know what the gotcha reporters answer was, article stops before a reply was given. Probably something like “ I’m asking the questions”. They don’t like being questioned a bit. YOU GO BIG TED!

I agree...every time he opens his mouth he demonstrates his superiority over the rest of the field. His election as POTUS would be an answer to many prayers and a miracle the majority of our country doesn’t deserve.
