Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas (R-TX) creeped everyone out on Twitter after he compared the actions of Democratic women in Congress to “Girls Gone Wild” videos.
Cruz’s comments came during an episode of his podcast, Verdict with Ted Cruz.
“Democrats are doubling down when it comes to so many aspects of the economy — on the cultural social issues, they’re defending drag queens jiggling for kids, actual little tiny children in bars, 21 plus bars in Texas of all places, they’re defending it,” the Texas Republican senator told his co-host Michael Knowles. “You know, Michael, it reminds me of, do you remember those videos that would come out every spring break, Girls Gone Wild and it would have lots of college women in bikinis or not bikinis?”
After babbling about children and drag queens to softcore porn from the 2000’s, Cruz took his weird commentary into truly uncomfortable territory.
“It reminds me of much the same thing. This is Liberals Gone Wild. This is the crazy left that — this is AOC and Elizabeth Warren, thank God, not in bikinis, um, but embracing their socialist nuttiness. I mean, it’s literally like someone sat down at a bar and said, how much crazy crap can we do?” he said.
It’s unclear exactly what Cruz meant to convey. with his twisted metaphor. But social media users wasted no time in slamming the senator as “gross” and “creepy.”
Watch Cruz’s video and some of the reactions below:
“@SenTedCruz what a great example of the misogynistic bigoted hateful person you are! Guns over children, making fun of women’s bodies, fleeing over responsibility. What a disputable [sic] Senator you are,” they wrote, signing off with a vomiting emoji.

#Women of #Texas: Your guy @TedCruz wants to ensure killers keep having easy access to assault weapons to kill kids, he helped incite #January6th attack on U.S. Capitol & was involved in the effort to overthrow U.S. #democracy & today, he's insulting women.

So “Girls Gone Wild” really turns you on, Cruz! Not surprising!

Obviously he was a customer of those late night VHS advertised tapes, likely on his dad’s (per Trump JFK assassination conspirator) credit card.

@SenTedCruz refused to defend his own wife from TFG's insults.
Ted appears to have respected (maybe even liked & agreed) that verbal assault on his wife and is trying it out himself.
