Republican Senator Ted Cruz thinks we need to “stop attacking pedophiles.”
The Texas senator made the brutal (potentially) Freudian slip during a Senate hearing about crime on Tuesday.
“Senator Booker also said we should have bipartisan agreement. I think that’s a great idea, we should have bipartisan agreement,” Cruz said. “How ’bout we all come together and say, ‘Let’s stop murders?’ How ’bout we all come together and say, ‘Let’s stop rapes?’ How ’bout we all come together and say, ‘Let’s stop attacking pedophiles?’” […]
(other outlets portray it as more clearly a mistake, but we’re rewarding the outlet leaning into the clickbait because it’s more onion-y 🫠)
Where I come from there is a saying: “Quien hambre tiene, en pan piensa” (Those who are hungry think of bread.)
Love it. I think that’s exactly what “Freudian slip” means.
Oh, I thought it was a kind of lingerie my mom used to wear.
I HAVE to say this is a joke.
I HAVE to say this is a joke.
Why? I doubt your mom uses Lemmy.
Honestly, because I take most things as both serious and facetious until I can properly de ide which it was intended as, and I tend to imagine at least a subset people also do that and might decide I wasn’t joking. And I had a little hesitation about being unclear.
Here it’s “Mis meelel, see keelel” or “mis keelel, see meelel”, depending on who you ask. Which translates to either “on the mind, on the tongue” or “on the tongue, on the mind”.
You guys don’t think…?
No, no, surely not.
Well there was that incident on the campaign trail about 10 years ago when his daughter recoiled in disgust when he went to kiss her.
His poor kids. I can’t imagine how gross it must be to have him for a father.
I mean, that sounds like a normal reaction a teenager would have to their father in public.
This is the plausiblley deniable way for them to put it out in the media. They can check what right wing media reports it and how, then just call it a mistake. Meanwhile they normalize defending pedophiles.
What. The. Fuck?
Somebody check his computer
I think its more interesting that none of the other people in the room called him on that
He must think that pedophiles VOTED for him. He’s representing pedophiles.
OR pedophiles PAID for his extensive campaign.
Let’s look at the Epstein files and find out.
Freudian slips be real yo.
POS bozo!
Release the Trump/Epstein files
Lizard zodiac killer cruz said this.
must be their phase 1 of the desensitization plan~
ted is surely leading the way.
So the grooming is projection too…
i can totally see that angle loool
Death penalty to pedophile victims
Trump, Cosby, Weinstein and other famous rapists employ “fixers” to handle their victims. They threaten/coerce/trick them into silence with vicious NDAs, obtaining the “rights” to their stories and burying them, forcing abortions, etc. really would be easier to just erase them since thats a lot of effort!
Not all republikkkans are pedophiles but all pedophiles are republikkkan. And they are all okay with pedophilia even if they aren’t the ones doing the child abuse.
I guarantee you not all pedophiles are Republican. I hate both groups, but let’s be real here
An alarmingly high amount of pedos are Republican, I don’t know why people feel the need to embellish that
Tribalism is a hell of a drug
If you choose sit at a table full of pedophiles, you are a fucking pedophile. If you vote to not release the names of pedophiles or investigate people who might be pedophiles that there is enough evidence to put people on prison, how is this not getting thru to people.
