Ted Cruz: Protester would get spanking at my house

Source: USA Today

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz has made no secret of the fact that he spanks his daughter when she misbehaves. He has also suggested the American people should deliver a “spanking” to Hillary Clinton.

Now, he is prescribing the same discipline for a protester who interrupted him during a rally in Indiana on Sunday.

“Apparently there’s a young man who’s having some problems,” Cruz said as the man yelled: “You suck!”

“Imagine what a different world it would be if someone had told Donald Trump that years ago,” he said. “You know, in my household, when a child behaves that way, they get a spanking.”

Ted Cruz seems to have this weird fetish with spanking. Heck, back in January, he even suggested spanking Hillary Clinton:

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz cited Hillary Clinton and the Benghazi terrorist attack Friday when he said voters "have a way of administering a spanking," similar to how he spanks his 5-year-old daughter.

"Was Secretary Clinton awake or asleep when four Americans were being murdered? We don't know to this day," Cruz told supporters at a coffee shop in Charles City, Iowa. "We do know Hillary told her daughter Chelsea, 'Well gosh, I knew it was a terrorist attack,' while we were out telling the American people it wasn't. You know, I'll tell you, in my house, if my daughter Catherine, the 5-year-old, says something she knows to be false, she gets a spanking."

Cruz continued: "Well, in America, the voters have a way of administering a spanking."

Weird day on the Republican side. The whole Fiorina falling off the stage thing and then I heard something about Trump saying he would have helped or something on ABC News. Tried to source it but couldn't find it. Did I hear that right?

Either way you put it - it was a truly spectacularly weird day in American politics from the GOP.

Funny thing is that when compared to Trump - I find myself sympathizing with Vampire Cruz. Trump is such a total bully and his followers are the same.
