U.S. Senator Ted Cruz smirks from the stage on the 2021 Scholar Motion Summit.
A tragic humanitarian disaster is unfolding in Gaza, the local weather disaster is worsening, the federal authorities is on the precipice of a shutdown, but U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz has time to be aggrieved about this?
In his newest throe of mock outrage, Texas’ junior senator is demanding that MSNBC commentators Jen Psaki and Rachel Maddow apologize for — get this — joking about Virginia voters’ concern about immigration.
Throughout an look on Fox Information’ The Faulkner Focus, Cruz introduced he’d “really referred to as on Jen Psaki and Rachel Maddow to apologize” for making gentle of voters’ considerations throughout their on-air dialogue of Tremendous Tuesday outcomes.
The offending comment got here after Psaki, a former White Home press secretary, famous that Virginia voters stated immigration was their prime challenge, in line with on-line information web site The Wrap.
“Properly, Virginia does have a border with West Virginia,” longtime NSNBC host Maddow quipped, drawing laughter from others on the present’s panel of speaking heads. (For many who need assistance with geography, the Outdated Dominion State is roughly 2,000 miles from the U.S.-Mexico border.)
We’re guessing Cruz will wait in perpetuity for an apology from Psaki or Maddow, who appear to be much less wanting to take the bait than say, comic Patton Oswalt, former senate colleague Al Franken and Dallas Mavericks proprietor Mark Cuban — all of whom indulged the senator’s makes an attempt grade school-level taunts.
In case anybody is holding rating at house, this is these turned out for Teddy Boy:
Oswalt referred to as Cruz a “a friendless, cowardly embarrassment,” amongst different issues.
Franken referred to his one-time coworker as a “enormous dick.”
Cuban urged the senator to “have some balls for as soon as.”
