If you thought you’d seen all of the disgusting things that can circulate online, consider this one for a moment: Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) in a bikini.
According to the Texas senator, anti-Israel activists on social media have been circulating photos that show him wearing a bikini, Mediaite reports.
Speaking at a conference on anti-Semitism, Cruz remarked, “I could tweet this morning, ‘Good morning,’ and hundreds of anti-Semitic responses would immediately fill my social media. Turns out, I’ve seen many times an image of myself in a bikini with the flag of Israel. I never knew that I looked quite fetching in a bikini.”
“And I will say there is virtue. Look, there are many lessons one can learn from President Trump, but one of the lessons is just to not give a damn. There is a power to fearlessness. There is a power to speaking the truth and letting the idiots say what they will,” he added.
Cruz also had some choice words for former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who has been critical of Israel.
“I believe Tucker Carlson is the single most dangerous demagogue in this country,” Cruz remarked. “And I’ll tell you, I’ve made the decision that I’m going to take him on directly.”
Granted, there is no place for anti-Semitism or any other disgusting hate speech in this country, and we need to call out those who engage in such behavior.
But still, the very idea of Ted Cruz in a bikini is enough to put you off food for a month. It might even make you disavow social media altogether.
