![]() (Tim Carpenter/Kansas Reflector)Ĭruz, in the midst of his “Truth and Courage Bus Tour,” shared political insights with hundreds of people gathered for the outdoor rally organized to generate support for Republican congressional candidate Amanda Adkins, who is again challenging U.S. Bird said Cruz had a narrow range of political beliefs and was dismissive of ideas different from his own. Ottawa resident Beth Bird, second from right, picketed the rally with U.S. We’re going to see not just a wave election, but a tsunami,” the senator said. He said the string of domestic and international policy failures by Democrats was “impressive,” given that rolling dice or throwing darts would have produced a few good outcomes simply by luck. On the other hand, Cruz said, all the problems of Democrats put Republicans in the driver seat of a presidential midterm election cycle to retake the U.S. He mocked unpopular public health mandates requiring people to wear masks in public in a state where nearly 10,000 people died of COVID-19. He said blue-state tyrants floundered during the COVID-19 pandemic by closing schools, churches and businesses. Actually, it’s so bad Hunter Biden can’t afford crack cocaine.” “Heck, it’s so bad Antifa can’t afford bricks. “You’ve got inflation out of control,” Cruz said. He tied together this national crisis by pointing to an anti-racist political movement known as Antifa and by making light of substance abuse challenges of Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden. At the same time, he said, illegal immigration flourished and murder rates soared. Cruz said Americans were getting hammered by skyrocketing prices for everything from groceries to gasoline, rent to lumber and electricity to health care. The firebrand Texan sifted through the standard GOP midterm election talking points about rampant crime, the porous southern border and raging inflation. Ted Cruz delivered a scorched-earth political speech Friday during a bus-tour pitstop to outline shortcomings of Democratic leaders that made him feel like weeping in grief for the country and celebrating an emerging opportunity for Republicans. In Trump’s America, men will all be judged based on the attractiveness of their wives, and women will be publicly shamed if they’re not photogenic.U.S. You could play this game with literally any two reasonably attractive people, just by finding a bad photo of one and a good photo of the other. In fact, we here at the Slate site thought about creating a side-by-side using a posed photo of Heidi and a squinty one of Melania to prove this point, but then we realized that in doing so we would become complicit in Donald Trump’s ethos of misogynist objectification, closed all tabs, and retreated to our bunker to await the apocalypse.Īnyway, let us all rejoice that Trump’s habit of turning the subtext of various ugly conservative ideas into text has now extended into the realm of matrimony. What makes this image particularly hilarious is that Heidi Cruz is, of course, a conventionally attractive woman who just happens to be making an unattractive expression in that picture, while Melania is studiously making a sexy face. You’ll notice that Trump has cleverly turned the tables on the super PAC that slut-shamed his wife, now implying that Melania’s conventional attractiveness makes her more valuable as a status symbol and therefore presumably more deserving of becoming first lady.
