You're kidding me right?

Teddy (Cancun Tan) Cruz spoke with a fork tongue in his talking point in a recent Senate hearing were he stated in the speech “let’s stop attacking pedophiles” among other things.

No matter the reason why he said such an idiotic statement, but the fact is it’s on record in a lawful manner.

There was no correction to his statement or anyone who stopped him for a correction.

You can’t make this stuff up! Ignorance is blissfully obvious and blind!

Seriously ... murder, pedophilia, rape, torture.

Of course, he condones the murder of cops on january 6 and has protected numerous buddy rapists along the way I am sure.

Not sure if he is DeSantis level with torture...but , yeah gotta be a sicko to even contemplate saying that.

THAT is why he said it. Otherwise, he would not have even thought about it.

Good morning Senator Pedo Protector,
During a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on September 30, Senator Ted Cruz proclaimed that Republicans and Democrats should come together and “stop attacking pedophiles.” No one—I’m speaking to you Senator Moody-- spoke up to correct him, and Republicans continue to oppose releasing the Epstein files. It is not far-fetched to assume this Freudian slip indeed represents Republican thinking. While I do not think there is a Democrat that would sign onto the legislation, I urge you to put your money where your mouth is, support your colleague Cruz, and introduce legislation to decriminalize pedophilia. If you endorse this, and are proud of the Republican stance—DO IT! Thank you for your attention to this matter.
