Responding to an audience member, Cruz said there are still unanswered questions about what the former secretary of state knew about the attacks, which killed the U.S. ambassador to Libya and three other Americans.
“Was Secretary Clinton awake or asleep when four Americans were being murdered? We don’t know to this day," Cruz said before bringing up an email Clinton wrote to her daughter on the same day as the attacks. "We do know that Hillary told her daughter Chelsea, ‘Well, gosh, I knew it was a terrorist attack when we were out telling the American people it wasn’t.'"
"You know, I’ll tell you, in my house, if my daughter Catherine, the five-year-old, says something she knows to be false, she gets a spanking," Cruz added. "Well, in America the voters have a way of administering a spanking, and I can tell you this: As president ... there will be accountability for Benghazi."
Clinton has taken responsibility for security lapses at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, though Republicans continue to question whether she is being forthcoming about how the attacks transpired.
Cruz made the comment during a town hall in Charles City, one of six Iowa stops he was scheduled to make Friday.
Bad move, Cruz. Child Protective Services will be at your door any minute. And you’re going to have to explain to a bunch outside of Iowa about corporal punishment.
It’s a different world we live in.
Firing squid would be most appropriate.
Seriesly...
“Spanking”???
That is real masculine talk.
And trivializing the needless deaths that occurred there.
Not a good comparison between his 5 year old and the evil Clinton. She deserves prison.
Is Cruz running for President or for author of the next “50 Shades of Grey” book?
Clinton deserves prison, not a spanking.
Hopefully he was joking. Otherwise, the meme about violence against women starts in 3....2....1....
Hillary would like that if Huma administers.
Oh no, the media will call him a perv.
"You know, I'll tell you, in my house, if my daughter Catherine, the five-year-old, says something she knows to be false, she gets a spanking," Cruz added. "Well, in America the voters have a way of administering a spanking, and I can tell you this: As president ... there will be accountability for Benghazi."
Oh for Gods sake.
Well you can't just start firing squid without cause.
American Federation of Labor and the Calamari Industrial Organization will chew your behind.
Does anybody read beyond the headline anymore?
‘Firing squid’
That ink they squirt is pretty nasty stuff, isn’t it.
Trump needs his butt beat every time his heart beats.
There’s no hand big enough to spank her giant ass!
(Oops!) Well, we all know how dangerous squids can be. LOL!
“Oh for Gods sake.”
How do you think the parents of the abandoned dead [by Hillary] regard that kind of nonsense?
A spanking? She deserves ignominy and prison. But she is running for president.
