Who cares.

this is what he said

"Vice President Joe Biden. You know the nice thing? You don't need a punch line,"

the media would have you believe he said "Beau Biden, more like no Biden ha ha ha am I right, that dude totally died of brain cancer, Joe Biden's son is dead, the whole republican party finds it hilarious."

I don't care for Biden or Cruz, but I do care about fabricated outrage. If the shoe was on the other foot the media would have tried to conjure fake outrage over what Biden said then plastered it all over briebart, fox and the blaze.

I'm so over the non story fake outrage.

Just because you feel kicking a guy when he's down is appropriate, doesn't make it so. Those who have common sense and a filter would know this and would back off for a while.

If you don't care, that's your problem.

There is nothing classy about Ted Cruz. The man is an idiot.

In a civilized society you don't go around making jokes about a parent who is grieving the loss of a child. His son isn't even buried yet. I have to assume you have no kids. Birds of a feather.

I would have preferred if he just said, " Sorry, didn't know that Joe was going through that right now. No harm intended. "

This is typical of Hillary labia lickers trying to drum up a story where there isn't one, because having to face Hillary as their candidate is just too painful to bear.

.


Classy.

For the record, I hate all the politicians regardless of party. They're self-serving brats who haven't represented the people in a long time.

My response would have been the same if it had been said about anyone, in any walk of life.

Ted Cruz reminds me of another (in)famous Senator from back in the 1950's, namely Sen Joe McCarthy. Am I the only one that sees any similarity between the two?
Joe McCarthy ended up pretty much self-destructing his political career (fortunately). I think the same thing is in store for Mr. Cruz. One can hope anyway.

What did McCarthy say that was untrue?

As for Cruz, he's bought and paid for by the usual suspects. I wonder about his pedigree.
