I am amused that Carnival Cruz was a Lincoln Douglas debater and was too stupid to do cross-x debate. I am glad that this debate club took the appropriate action

America's oldest collegiate debate society has voted to strip Sen. Ted Cruz of its highest honor, according to The Daily Princetonian.

Princeton University's American Whig-Cliosphic Society passed a motion to rescind the James Madison Award for Distinguish Public Service awarded to Cruz in 2016, the newspaper reported.

Members of the society proposed the motion because unhappy at Cruz's support of baseless voter fraud claims in the 2020 election and the January 6 Capitol attack.

The award — introduced in 1960 — is bestowed upon individuals who have "taken up the arduous but righteous cause of dedicating their life to the betterment of society," according to the society's website.

1. The words "strips" and "Ted Cruz" should never be in the same sentence.

Other than that, it couldnt have happened to a sleazier, smarmier, snarky guy!

Good on you, Princeton American Whig-Cliosphic Society!

10. Looking at that photo

It's a pretty short jump to seeing him on a street corner, rattling coins in a cup because a bunch of Republicans cut the bottom out of the safety net, thinking they'd never be reduced to that. I wouldn't drop a button in his cup instead of a coin, but I'd think about it.
