BWAHAHAHA: The Ted Cruz Speech He Did NOT WANT YOU TO SEE




.......................


A video of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) messing up his response to President Barack Obama's State of the Union address was uploaded to YouTube and quickly removed Tuesday night.

In the video, Cruz spoke for just under a minute before pausing to try again.

"Eh, lemme start over," Cruz said before the video cut to the beginning of his remarks for a second time.

Cruz's team pulled the video from YouTube, but luckily we have it right here for you to see.

From the posted video:

Unlike many of his colleagues, who gave pre-written speeches and taped them on sets, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) decided to record his response to Obama’s State of the Union Address outside the House Chamber, next to a statue of Texas hero Stephen Austin, using the iPhone of some staffer who forgot to edit the video before posting it on YouTube.

The original video was quickly deleted because it showed Cruz, the former Attorney General of Texas and champion college debater, successfully improvising an eloquent response, seamlessly hitting a series of prepared talking points criticizing the Obama administration…for about forty seconds.

And then he needed a redo.

Ah, the perils of politicians going without a script

Literally! It was making my ears hurt with the forced inflections. How people voted for that guy I'll never understand.
