‘Stop Attacking Pedophiles!’ Ted Cruz Lampooned for Awkward Gaffe in Senate Hearing
"Talk about a flub.
Sen Ted Cruz (R-TX) almost certainly did not mean it when he said Democrats and Republicans should come together to “stop attacking pedophiles” — with the congressman making the unfortunate remark during a Senate hearing on Tuesday morning.
“Sen. Booker also said we should have bipartisan agreement. I think that’s a great idea — we should have bipartisan agreement,” Cruz said. “How about we all come together and say ‘Let’s stop murders.’ How about we all come together and say ‘Let’s stop rape.’ How about we all come together and say ‘Let’s stop attacking pedophiles.”
Cruz did not catch his mistake. He quickly moved onto sharing stats about President Donald Trump’s crime crackdown in Washington, D.C., with Cruz saying homicides are down 58%, robberies are down 57%, and sexual crimes are down 40% in the nation’s capital."
