I do not think that is what he said.
He said what he said and it came out poorly. He said MAYBE disabled people shouldn’t be doing heavy manual labor. That was really dumb.
Cruz DOESN'T get a pass on that. One of his primary assets is that he's near-perfect at debate and expressing things in a clear, lawyerly way.

Did you watch the video or the show last night? The cop with the question received a long standing ovation including by Ted who rose and clapped for him. It was not just about disability. The premise of the question was about Americans relying on all social programs instead of picking themselves up. Have you seen the stats on disability SS claims, food stamps etc go up over the last 7 years?
