In what appeared to be a moment of misspeaking, anti-LGBTQ+ Republican Sen. Ted Cruz (TX) said in a recent congressional speech, “How about we all come together and say ‘Let’s stop attacking pedophiles’?”
During a congressional hearing on the current president’s actions addressing crime in cities — which seems mostly to be insulting large city mayors, ignoring higher-crime areas in red states, and then sending in armed federal officers against the mayors’ wishes — Sen. Cruz referred to Sen. Cory Booker’s (D-NJ) plea for Democrats and Republicans to “come together and have bipartisan agreement.”
“I think that’s a great idea. We should have bipartisan agreement,” Cruz said. “How about we all come together and say, ‘Let’s stop murder’? How about we all come together and say, ‘Let’s stop rape’? How about we all come together and say, ‘Let’s stop attacking pedophiles’?”
Did he say it again or was this the one from a few months back? Because either way this is hilarious
Date on the article is September 2025.
Holy hell, this past 6 months really has been a decade hasn’t it
This happened last year
Just to be clear, ALL MAGAs are Pedophiles, or Pedophile Protectors.
You know another name for a Pedophile Protector?
Pedophile.
Nazi apologists are Nazis
Pedophile protectors are pedophiles
What about nazi pedophiles apologists protecting nazi pedophiles??
There is no limit on stacking labels.
We’d attack policy, but Republicans don’t have any.
I can’t think of a better way to quell the flames of public outcry!
Ted, you stupid motherfucker, how about we start executing them instead of protecting them?
They should just be forced to work in old folks’ homes. Cleaning bedpans and making meatloaf, not a child in sight.
Another banger from TheOnion
No wait
Rafael cant suck enough pedo cock
Or, to put another way, “let’s keep defending pedophiles”.
I wish that homunculus of a fleshbag had the empathetic capacity to feel any kind of philia. It might make him about literally anything but himself.
Autophilia?
I like to believe he hates himself more than we do.
“Leave trump alone!”
Lmao, what a tool with an ugly wife.
LMAO
His name is Raphael, not Ted.
I have negative love for the guy, but people have a right to call themselves what they want. Even shitty cowards.
While it’s true that Bruce Jenner is not their name even if they’re deeply horrid, it feels like Cruz here calls himself Ted so that he can get votes from racist people who wouldn’t elect him solely based on his name. I’m 50/50 on it.
Disagree
Don’t deadname him
I feel like if you’re a Nazi enabler, the rules don’t apply.
I was being ironic, he’s a poor excuse for a sellout cuck.
Call them fat, call them dumb, and point out their personal foibles. Shame them in any way possible.
Can’t shame the shameless. They are already supporting nazis and pedophiles. I would safely assume these people have no shame.
Fair point.
Scrolling past headlines like this one while the Curb your enthusiasm theme plays on loop.
For me it’s the Always Sunny in Philadelphia theme
He’s in the files…
No, he’s not. He’s just that shitty of a person. Nobody likes him enough to invite him to a party. He’s actually a step down from Elon.
Gonna insert a quote about Ted Cruz by none other than Lindsay Graham circa 2016, “If you killed Ted Cruz on the floor of the Senate, and the trial was in the Senate, nobody would convict you.” - https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/lindsey-graham-jokes-about-killing-ted-cruz-nobody-would-convict-you-a6898206.html
Still in the files, but in the “LET ME IIIINNN!” kind of way.
Maybe he was invited, but the weather was too nice in Texas at the time.
