Some "fun" from Ted Cruz:

  • "Every bit as racist as the Klansmen in white sheets" (in speaking about CRT, while speaking at the Faith and Freedom Forum, an event for a group that considers itself a bridge between the tea party and evangelicals. Against same sex marriage, medical marijuana, abortion, big supporters of Israel, and is part of the christian fundamentalist movement.
  • To an arab audience: "“I am saddened to see that some here, not everyone, but some here, are so consumed with hate… If you will not stand with Israel and the Jews, then I will not stand with you.”
  • According to his book - "Unwoke: How to Defeat Cultural Marxism in America", BLM is a cultural Marxist movement with goals beyond addressing racial injustic, labeling them as "anti-American".
  • Watch him call CRT racism on the Senate floor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHpa4XICDvI
  • Cruz refers to Obergefell v Hodges as "clearly wrong"
  • A bit about his anti-trans attack ads can be found here, bonus quote: "'Don't want boys playing girls' sports'"
  • He said transgendered folks should "only use restrooms at home and avoid public facilities."
  • Ejected a trans teen from his rally

Bonus racism on twitter:

.... is there a reason anyone should care about or respect his opinion on anything?

(Edit: Typo in Hodges)
