In what appeared to be a moment of misspeaking, anti-LGBTQ+ Republican Sen. Ted Cruz (TX) said in a recent congressional speech, “How about we all come together and say ‘Let’s stop attacking pedophiles’?”
During a congressional hearing on the current president’s actions addressing crime in cities — which seems mostly to be insulting large city mayors, ignoring higher-crime areas in red states, and then sending in armed federal officers against the mayors’ wishes — Sen. Cruz referred to Sen. Cory Booker’s (D-NJ) plea for Democrats and Republicans to “come together and 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 murder’? 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’?”
This happened last year
Or, to put another way, “let’s keep defending pedophiles”.
“Leave trump alone!”
Lmao, what a tool with an ugly wife.
I wish that homunculus of a fleshbag had the empathetic capacity to feel any kind of philia. It might make him about literally anything but himself.
Autophilia?
I like to believe he hates himself more than we do.
No. And fuck ted Cruz. Second sorriest bastard in Texas govrrnment
Scrolling past headlines like this one while the Curb your enthusiasm theme plays on loop.
For me it’s the Always Sunny in Philadelphia theme
Did he say it again or was this the one from a few months back? Because either way this is hilarious
Date on the article is September 2025.
Holy hell, this past 6 months really has been a decade hasn’t it
Just to be clear, ALL MAGAs are Pedophiles, or Pedophile Protectors.
You know another name for a Pedophile Protector?
Pedophile.
Nazi apologists are Nazis
Pedophile protectors are pedophiles
What about nazi pedophiles apologists protecting nazi pedophiles??
There is no limit on stacking labels.
Wow, a brain made of butter
We’d attack policy, but Republicans don’t have any.
Ted, you stupid motherfucker, how about we start executing them instead of protecting them?
They should just be forced to work in old folks’ homes. Cleaning bedpans and making meatloaf, not a child in sight.
Rafael cant suck enough pedo cock
His name is Raphael, not Ted.
I have negative love for the guy, but people have a right to call themselves what they want. Even shitty cowards.
While it’s true that Bruce Jenner is not their name even if they’re deeply horrid, it feels like Cruz here calls himself Ted so that he can get votes from racist people who wouldn’t elect him solely based on his name. I’m 50/50 on it.
Disagree
Don’t deadname him
I feel like if you’re a Nazi enabler, the rules don’t apply.
I was being ironic, he’s a poor excuse for a sellout cuck.
Call them fat, call them dumb, and point out their personal foibles. Shame them in any way possible.
Texas, the pedophile state. Don’t like it? Maybe get some new reps!
September 30, 2025
Not that I think it’s unimportant, but I wish we’d keep things current here.
Oh… No idea how it resurfaced in my feed.
Does it matter? You still did not check the date.
person is wrong
Someone points out person is wrong
Person admits they were wrong
Person still attacked by commenters
What do you want from them, ritual self-immolation?
Go white knight somewhere else.
When in doubt, triple down
Go scold somewhere else.
People’s memory is short
And here I was perplexed, did he do the same blunder again??
More importantly, nothing was done. A decade or more ago, associating and supporting such things was done, but quietly. Now (or last year) it’s openly okay for a Congressperson to say it out loud. That, and saying fascism is fine. We’re past the point of warning signs, the house is on fire.
