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]

“Masterful!”

Yes, and so simple. One wonders why other Conservatives have not taken the same tact in the past.

to my ear, when Cruz asked the reporter is he had animosity towards Christians, the reporter mumbled “mm hmm” - an affirmative response.

Fantastic! But the scumbag MSM and leftists in general let his words pass right over (or through) their thick head. Their agenda is king.

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.

And therein lies the value of Free Republic to keep a close watch on the liars and spinners.

That’s because Free Speech is being shut down by the left, the media, and the Obama Regime.

AMEN ! TED CRUZ IS SHOWING US HOW TO DO IT TO WIN THIS CULTURAL WAR AGIANST THE LEFT ! BY TURNING !

Just listening to Alex Jones live out on a side walk out side his studio and getting back in the faces of the Abortionists.

Alex Jones calls these abortionist leftist who are shutting down and censor these pro life protester’s free speech a bunch of demons, demonic zombies.

Every day I am more in love with this guy. Just to see him running. SOMEONE IS NOT AFRAID OF THE PRESS. Someone is not ashamed to be conservative. He doesn’t need to drape glitter cloth over it and call it “compassionate” - not MEAN AND RACIST LIKE THE REST. He calls them, hangs them on their own smelly petard.

Don’t be pushing talk of Sarah Palin ever again as a candidate. I agree with her but she wasn’t strong enough for the Press. “What newspapers do you read, governor?” She should have said “The same ones you do each morning. The difference is that you believe what you read in them.”
