"When I got here someone told me that even PETA was protesting and giving out barbecued tofu, so I got to say, they summed up the entire election: If Texas elects a Democrat, they're going to ban barbecue across the state of Texas," Cruz told supporters, according to the newspaper.
Seizing on the opportunity, Cruz thanked the protesters for bringing the issue to his event. "You want to talk about an issue to mobilize the people, and I'm talking everybody," he said, drawing laughter from attendees.
"So I want to thank PETA, and I do want to tell PETA, you're going to have to disclose to the FEC that by coming and protesting and giving away tofu, that you have given an in-kind contribution to my campaign by demonstrating just how bad things can get," he said, the Statesman reported.
PETA, however, wasn't there to represent O'Rourke's campaign and didn't utter a word about banning meat, according to the newspaper. But their message was still political. One of the protester's signs read: "Republicans eat tofu, too."
"We are seeing tens of millions of dollars flooding into the state of Texas from liberals all over the country who desperately want to turn the state of Texas blue," Cruz said. "They want us to be just like California, right down to tofu and silicon and dyed hair."
Republicans are really channeling that scaremongering.
For the good of the world, can we not politicize fucking BARBEQUE?
Republicans: We'll solve problems that don't exist and worsen the ones that do! What's not to love?
How can those people in that picture be so excited to touch hands with Ted Cruz?
Jesus, he really is desperate
they're excited to receive the free bbq sauce that flows from his pores
Astroturfing, just like the trump political rally that had fake supporters there that were told to be estatic and completely devoted.
538 currently gives Cruz a 2/3 chance to win and polls are all over the place, from O'Rouke +2 to Cruz +9
What a worm. O’Rourke should counter saying he’ll hold an Election Day BBQ.
I don't even know why texans like the slimeball. He doesn't look or act like a texan at all.
(R)
We don't really lmao. I don't know how he keeps getting elected, I'm guessing it's a combination of his slimy shit managing to make blue opponents look worse than him (since he knows he can't really make himself look good) and Texans' predisposition against democrats in general.
and not (((D)))
It's not every day you get the meet the Zodiac Killer.
I don't even want to know what this means or how it originated...
Too bad, ted spat out a tonsil stone during his live debate and it stuck to his lip for a good bit. Then it flew off later.
OH, so that’s what those nasty little things are. I’ve hacked only a few up in my life time and always thought it was just food scraps tucked in back there that tumbled out one day, so I alway made sure to keep things tidy in there.
After reading up, it’s uh way worse than just food. Yeck gross. Time for a dental irrigator...
"The OTHER are coming to destroy your beloved way of life, remember to vote for me! Only The Benevolent Party can keep you safe from the unholy Other!"
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO....
Before I had my tonsils removed for some weird strep-not-strep thing last year, I got to experience those. But that never happened...
Nope...
ted
what the hell are you doing
this is how you pull a campaign tbh
Wow I shouldn't have read this thread while eating lunch. And now I feel like I've got something stuck in the back of my throat. I blame you, Lolkork.
People in Texas absolutely love BBQs. Every holiday in Texas is a eat barbecue and drink beer day literally every single one. He's hoping to get enough stupid people to think that Democrats want to ban BBQ
But if they don't politicize trivial things and make it all about identity politics how the hell are Republicans supposed to win elections? With their policies?!
You're just being unfair!
Damn I'm gonna miss Austin's barbecue
Idk guys I had a friend who lived in California who stopped at an In-N-Out and was sentenced to life without parole. I think Cruz is telling the truth. I mean, everyone knows literally every Californian is a vegan. It's a slippery slope.
how do you expect democrats to let BBQ's happen when republicans do all the gaslighting?
If any Texan voters seriously flip because of this, our country really is fucked.
"I will say and do everything it takes to convince you to elect me. Also my father was not the zodiac killer."
-ted 'punch-me' cruz
I'm seriously worried that by election day he'll have gone all in and said "They're coming to take our white women."
