Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) made a truly memorable gaffe on Tuesday that is quite an example of saying the wrong thing the wrong way at the wrong time.
During a committee hearing, the Texas Republican was remarking on New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker’s comments about the need for bipartisan agreement.
“I think that’s a great idea — we should have bipartisan agreement,” Cruz said before offering a rhetorical statement that didn’t come across as he probably intended.
“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.’”
