Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) probably wishes he’d stayed in bed this morning rather than appear on ESPN’s “College GameDay,” because he was heckled and jeered during his interview with host Rece Davis.
The interview, which lasted for 10 brutal minutes, featured plenty of boos, hisses, and rude comments, all directed at Cruz.
Some in the crowd chanted, “Ted, you suck!”
Take a look:
ESPN had Ted Cruz on 'College GameDay' in a conversation with Rece Davis for nearly 10 minutes.

Ted was also lit up online, where some suggested he should never have been invited on the program.
Why in the absolute fuck would you have him on? Nobody likes him and he has nothing to do with the sport other than he’s in Texas which for him is questionable because he loves to leave the state on vacation all the time usually when the state is experiencing an emergency

My only regret is that I turned off ESPN and didn’t get to hear the boos. Thank you @TexasFootball fans. This UGA fan says HOOK EM HORNS!
Fuck ESPN for platforming that disgusting fuck

Ted should probably stick to things he knows something about. You know, like how a grown man sells his soul to a rapist piece of crap like Donald Trump and still thinks anyone will ever respect him.
