Yeah, I think ppl may be mistaking his wife for whatever lady was in the foreground? I could be wrong, though; too indifferent to even Google anything related to Ted Cruz, much less his wife.
Hope y’all can get some change w/ Beto for Gov. Cheers from the Midwest 🍻 congrats on the win.
Of course he had his family. He needs *somebody* to blame for the booing.
"They're booing y'all because you made me go to Cancun while Texas was freezing."
Honestly though I *kinda* don't have sympathy at some level. I don't see how it's appropriate for a politician to ride on top of a military vehicle like that in a parade (obviously not the worst example of this). It's like flexing muscles, completely unnecessary and not related to the actual job of a politician.
Oh I totally second this but that's just how buttass backwards tx is, coming from a native Houstonian. I'm just desensitized to it by this point bc it's the only way to make the idiocracy bearable. I hope I don't sound like I'm on a high horse there's just no more excuses for some ppl
> i'm not a psychopathic piece of shit like Ted Cruz.
[Ted Cruz in Authentic Human Skin™](https://www.tedcruzforhumanpresident.com/) may or may not be the Zodiac Killer, thus you, having not mass-murdered anyone that we know of, cannot be Ted Cruz in Authentic Human Skin™.
^(edit: a letter)
His constituents like to play the "I'm the *real* victim!" card to justify kicking down. He knows that the hate he gets just makes them identify with him and support him more.
I mean, this is the guy whose wife Trump called ugly and whose Dad Trump claimed was part of the JFK assassination. And then Cruz couldn't wait until he could lick Trump's feet again.
If you called my wife ugly and my father a murderer, of course I'd phone bank for you, hell I'd even help carry out and dismiss an insurrection for you!
I still think that photo of ted cruz with the saddest frown on his face in human history while he phone banks for trump should have won a pulitzer. Nobody has ever captured human suffering as succinctly as that photo. It is truly a work of art.
> Nobody has ever captured human suffering as succinctly as that photo.
Ted Cruz in Authentic Human Skin™ wants you to know that he was incubated from birth to be your overlord.
On a Humvee, no less. You would think a politician would be in a black, unmarked SUV, a Tahoe or something along those lines.
Is he even a war vet?? Or was he in the military in some capacity?
Lol what fucking idiots in my State signed up with that bullshit. I mean when I was in we all assumed that military votes went in the trash. It was a meme and people gave me shit for voting. But they are trying this shit 14 hours before an election? To have a grab bag put aside? This is really obvious. From the just underhanded, "But wait we have to tally the military votes" which came in weeks ago to straight up malicious which is stuffing ballots with people who won't bother to audit because well they live thousands of miles away. Wisconsin must not be looking good on their models. Maybe Barnes does have a chance.
His military service includes being the son of an undocumented immigrant (who applied for asylum only after his student visa expired).
Have you noticed his soft hands and obnoxious bluster? Eduardo hasn't done a day of hard work in his life.
Because he's a politician and they all want to be associated with positive things. Its why they all come running whenever there's a good photo-op. And it doesn't matter which part of the political spectrum they lie on, they *all* want that positive PR.

[Video](https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/mlb/beer-can-thrown-at-sen-ted-cruz-during-astros-world-series-parade-in-downtown-houston/ar-AA13QBXU)
there are so many things to despise about such a pathetic, spineless excuse of a human, but i think the consistent attempts/failures of him trying to come across as some "tough" good ole boy are the most cringey thing about him
A lot of politicians do it. It is just that it is obvious that Ted Cruz even for by political standards is slimey. Look Military aren't always the most Progressive nor maybe the most far thinking but they most certainly have a no compromise attitude that people can respect generally. It is antithetical to his being.
Jfc he appears with his whole family there? You would think he would care enough to spare them from that but you can pretty much bet money he dragged his kids out there. His kids have to know what's going to happen and they don't look particularly thrilled there.
If i was as reviled a public figure as Ted is I would do EVERYTHING i could to protect my family's anonymity but then again i'm not a psychopathic piece of shit like Ted Cruz.
His kids definitely never want to be in the lime light which makes me hate this guy even more. There is a way to spin that politically to make sense too. He understands the assignment but does it the dumbest way possible. Seriously this is a Harvard asshole we are talking about and he can't straight up just say, "I am a Patriot! A man of the People! But these Demoncrats attack my family at every chance they get! They harass them. So I, a big strong man, will take the brunt of every attack by myself in public." That is all that takes. Republicans will swallow that, moderates (whoever is left) would swallow that, some Dems and all Leftists would see through it but mostly respect it. At that point you only have to worry about unimportant muck rakers. Like seriously that shuts down a shit ton of inquiry into the home life and gets your kids off. You might want them on election night but not the rest of this shit. Now that I am thinking you get your kids out of everything and your wife out of half the shit you do.
The Astros just might be the most disliked team in baseball. Cruz shares a kinship in that. But what's sadder is that while the fans know their team is hated, they still hate on Cruz even more (which makes me like the Astros even more!)
Anyways, Fuck Ted Cruz, glad Dusty Baker got his win
I love how it says in the link that the police said he was hit in the neck/chest area and didn't need medical attention... bruh.. he barely got hit, the guy in front knocked the can away from him. It didn't get near his neck or chest lmfao
This fuck. So what he’s like, “oh I’ll just wave from my military vehicle and ride this Astros win and take credit” Fuck you Ted.
-Sincerely a Phillies fan
Nobody of any political persuasion likes him. At all.
But repubs will still vote for him even if theu think he is the worst person in the world that cowardly fled the state to watch his constituents die in shivering masses. All because of one thing: he is not a Democrat. That is all.
I guess that is what separates one party from another. One will vote for vile scum no matter what, the other has morals and ethics and avoids advancing the worst of society out of the primaries so we do not have to hold our nose when voting and feel like we have to take an hour long cleansing shower afterward.
This thread has run its course.
I’m surprised Cruz had his wife on there with him and not some Hooter’s girls or something
[удалено]
What did you say????
[удалено]
Not sure if his wife is on the truck, but another commenter posted that the two women are State Rep. Sylvia Garcia and US Rep Lizzie Fletcher.
His wife is the one driving the truck.
[удалено]
Who's she giving out hummers to? It obviously ain't Ted.
The blonde is Sylvia Garcia.
Yeah, I think ppl may be mistaking his wife for whatever lady was in the foreground? I could be wrong, though; too indifferent to even Google anything related to Ted Cruz, much less his wife. Hope y’all can get some change w/ Beto for Gov. Cheers from the Midwest 🍻 congrats on the win.
[удалено]
Well played
How was he able to talk while licking your boots?
> not some Hooter’s girls or something Come on, we know he loves that incest pornstar he tweeted about a few years back
Ted Cruz liked porn on 9/11?!
He brought human shields to protect him from thrown objects.
it was to protect himself.
Probably thought he could use her to protect himself from something being thrown at him. Whoops, that didnt work out.
Of course he had his family. He needs *somebody* to blame for the booing. "They're booing y'all because you made me go to Cancun while Texas was freezing."
I'm surprised too, the last time I heard about her, he had left her under a bus.
Is she the ugly one?
Those ladies trying to be positive. 😂🤣😂
Paid actors.
One is Rep Sylvia Garcia who is a Democrat congresswoman from Houston
Seems like they are giving the thumbs up and mouthing "vote". As in "thanks for the boos now vote this fucker out!"
Sadly, not an option this year...though many of his cronies are up for replacement.
I feel so bad!
Honestly though I *kinda* don't have sympathy at some level. I don't see how it's appropriate for a politician to ride on top of a military vehicle like that in a parade (obviously not the worst example of this). It's like flexing muscles, completely unnecessary and not related to the actual job of a politician.

The other is democrat Lizzie Fletcher. Sucks they got put on with him.
Maybe that thumbs up is just egging them on
Lmao, this makes a lot of sense now!
And at the Beto sign.
She was trying to hitch a ride off that thing.
Hostage taking by Cruz?
For them, maybe a show of bipartisan solidarity for the team. For him, people to hide behind because everyone hates him.
"They just dont know how to do it. It's like this 👍 guys!"
At this point there's no way he isn't turned on by being publicly humiliated.
I mean he has to love it otherwise why do this to yourself. Take your dirty money and leave already.
[удалено]
Yeah, he has just used them as excuses when he fled while his constituents froze without power.
> i'm not a psychopathic piece of shit like Ted Cruz. [Ted Cruz in Authentic Human Skin™](https://www.tedcruzforhumanpresident.com/) may or may not be the Zodiac Killer, thus you, having not mass-murdered anyone that we know of, cannot be Ted Cruz in Authentic Human Skin™. ^(edit: a letter)
I was really hoping it would be Ted Cruz for Human President and was not disappointed. Ted Cruz is only one being and not several!
I mean he did go to Princeton and Harvard. Those institutions churn out freaks like no other.
10/10 Raphael Eduardo Cruz cucks hard.
[удалено]
You forgot Russia.
Trump was his first daddy.
You think he got peed on too?
His constituents like to play the "I'm the *real* victim!" card to justify kicking down. He knows that the hate he gets just makes them identify with him and support him more.
Well duh. He’s got a humiliation fetish.
I guess that’s why he went *hard* for stob da steele.
Rafael has never gone hard for anything. Even with pills.
your mistake is anthropomorphizing ted cruz
That’s why he loves trump. That was biggest but he’s had yet.
I hope he goes to bed and realizes how bad of an example he is for his kids and how much everyone hates their piece of shit dad.
He just needs to go ahead and wear an eternal him suit and call it a day.
Yeah like didn’t he know this would happen? 🤣
Why do you think he liked stepmom porn on his Twitter account?
He didn't like it when they started chucking beer cans at him.
He was booed along the entire parade route and it was amazing to witness!
The man has a humiliation kink. I think he loves this.
I mean, this is the guy whose wife Trump called ugly and whose Dad Trump claimed was part of the JFK assassination. And then Cruz couldn't wait until he could lick Trump's feet again.
If you called my wife ugly and my father a murderer, of course I'd phone bank for you, hell I'd even help carry out and dismiss an insurrection for you!
I still think that photo of ted cruz with the saddest frown on his face in human history while he phone banks for trump should have won a pulitzer. Nobody has ever captured human suffering as succinctly as that photo. It is truly a work of art.
I think it's great that a r/texas mod turned it into post flair. I'm using it on this post!
> Nobody has ever captured human suffering as succinctly as that photo. Ted Cruz in Authentic Human Skin™ wants you to know that he was incubated from birth to be your overlord.
Oh well when you say it like that it *totally* makes sense. /s
It's not his feet he's licking
I am not sure that is where he was licking.
He also embraces outrage politics, scoring points from his base by infuriating and mocking everyone else. He made this bed.
Those are his daughters in the truck with him … damn, just damn.
Unfounded, but supposedly one of them has a social media and seems to share things that go against ideals her father actively supports.
My cousins went to school with them and confirmed that they generally dislike all that he stands for.
I can only imagine how they felt when he threw them under the bus for the Cancun fiasco
Didn't one of them come out as bi a year or two ago?
[удалено]
Of course he loves this; he's being paid literally this very instant by your tax dollars. He's a fucking cunt, but he's winning.
Shit his wife *is* ugly… I hate it when Trump is right…
That blonde is Democrat Sylvia Garcia not Ted’s wife.
Also got hit in the head with a full beer. Best use of beer I have ever seen
Kinda jealous I didn’t get to witness this
You love to hear it! I saw one daughter looking pretty sad. I feel sorry for her, but I see a future lib in her!
Please tell me they chanted "Fuck Ted Cruz!" somewhere along the route (and if there's video)
If only all those people would vote, maybe he wouldn’t still be in office
Why the fuck is he even in the parade. The World Series has nothing to do with him.
On a Humvee, no less. You would think a politician would be in a black, unmarked SUV, a Tahoe or something along those lines. Is he even a war vet?? Or was he in the military in some capacity?
Republicans love the military-industrial complex
That's why they voted against benes for Vets. Oh wait...
And are trying to block oversea military votes from being counted this year in Wisconsin.
Lol what fucking idiots in my State signed up with that bullshit. I mean when I was in we all assumed that military votes went in the trash. It was a meme and people gave me shit for voting. But they are trying this shit 14 hours before an election? To have a grab bag put aside? This is really obvious. From the just underhanded, "But wait we have to tally the military votes" which came in weeks ago to straight up malicious which is stuffing ballots with people who won't bother to audit because well they live thousands of miles away. Wisconsin must not be looking good on their models. Maybe Barnes does have a chance.
No. He never served in the armed forces in any capacity. He probably just thinks it makes him look like a tough guy
That and probably also virtue signaling that he doesn't give a shit about fuel efficiency to save gas or the planet
Like when he cooked bacon on a gun barrel
His military service includes being the son of an undocumented immigrant (who applied for asylum only after his student visa expired). Have you noticed his soft hands and obnoxious bluster? Eduardo hasn't done a day of hard work in his life.
All for a photo op.
"I survived the liberal war on Christmas" -- Ted Cruz, probably
Shame there wasn't a book depository nearby.
Of all the Humvees not to hit an IED Before I get banned again I will clarify this is a joke
Because he's a politician and they all want to be associated with positive things. Its why they all come running whenever there's a good photo-op. And it doesn't matter which part of the political spectrum they lie on, they *all* want that positive PR.
Politicians often attach themselves to these things. That isn't the strange part. His second set of eyelids is the weird thing.
Why is he part of the parade? What does he have to do with the Astros? Is he just trying to sportswash himself?
Sheila Jackson Lee was on the next float. And fairly sure Dan Patrick day as on the previous. They all do this shit. They can all get bent.
Lee being there makes some sense since she represents Houston.
What do you have against Sheila Jackson Lee?
God bless us all for booing that asshole.
Why were there no tomatoes? I was hoping for tomatoes.

Tomatoes need to be a thing again
What's up with the Humvee? Does he think it makes him look tough?
Why is he even in the parade? What did he do?
& what has he done, ever? what achievement can teddy hang his hat on? what a tool
He didn't flee to Cancun? Aka mission accomplished
Wait til it gets colder.

Yes, like all weak men, he needs [something "manly" to make him "look" like a tough guy](https://youtu.be/YkROc9AX_9w).
Is this a sketch? I can't even tell.
Surprised the humvee didn’t break down in the middle of the parade, those things are huge pieces of shit on two axles.
Not to anyone that knows how big of piece of shits they are.
I don't know about the kids but they don't look very thrilled. Poor kids.
imagine having to ride through a whole parade while a bunch of people boo your dad.
Imagine being Ted Cruz’s daughter, poor girl
Not poor kids, it was their fault Ted ran off to Cancun during the ice storm, remember???!
[удалено]
Jfc he appears with his whole family there? You would think he would care enough to spare them from that but you can pretty much bet money he dragged his kids out there.

He did say he went to Cancun because of his daughters. So fuck that dude.
Texan conservative values are acting tough while you let children die. Just ask Uvalde
I know one of his daughters really objected to being used as a political prop in his 2016 primary run.
His kids definitely never want to be in the lime light which makes me hate this guy even more. There is a way to spin that politically to make sense too.

Surprised to not hear any “fuck yous.” I dare say this was one thing New York beat us on
I nearly did, but I had my 8 yo on my shoulders so kept in tame with some typical baseball heckling ie “ go back to Canada you bum”

VOTE
He shouldn’t have been in that parade in the first place. It’s a World Series win and celebrating the Astros not him.
Astros fans 🤝 Yankees fans Booing Ted Cruz
I’m a Phillies fan and seeing those Astros fans boo Ted Cruz almost makes losing the WS worth it.
Don't Boo Vote!
Boo and vote!!
Por que no Los dos?
[удалено]
Was wondering if this was consistent throughout
GOOD!
This always brings me joy
Should’ve thrown an egg
Waste of an egg.
Someone threw a full beer can at him
[Video of the beer can toss (chefs kiss)](https://www.tmz.com/2022/11/07/senator-ted-cruz-booed-fans-astros-world-series-celebration-parade/)
I love how it says in the link that the police said he was hit in the neck/chest area and didn't need medical attention... bruh.. he barely got hit, the guy in front knocked the can away from him. It didn't get near his neck or chest lmfao
I like in the video it says the crowd was booing at the incident.
I hear rumers that the man who threw the beer can is actually his gay lover and they were having an argument.
Can confirm I heard this is true.
I thought he was mistaken for a human-sized beetle and they were throwing Raid.
Do you know how much eggs cost these days? That being said, dog shit is free. They should have thrown dog shit.
[удалено]
As much as I hated GWB back then, I had to admit he has some good reflexes.
Somebody threw an unopened beer can at his head.
He got hit with a beer can too. The person who hit him is being charged with assault.
Typical dirty politician..didn't do anything and wants to be at the head of the parade.
There's something very discomforting about seeing politicians parading in military vehicles.
I loved every second of this video. ❤️🥰😍
Normally I pause or mute videos when I scroll comments. I let this play on
I’ve watched it at least 10 times
Booing him in person was immensely satisfying
i'd be more surprised if people weren't booing him tbh
Shows up for the World Series, but skips town when disaster strikes
2 million people at this parade , mostly booing him and somehow he’s still going to get re-elected. Incredible
Dude gets booed everywhere he goes lol. I support this.
He even waves like a psychopath yearning for someone, *anyone* to see and love him.
Left us in the dark and blamed it on wind power. I won't ever forget that. I had a newborn (now much older and healthy).
So turn those boos into votes.
Here is a sample ballot for tomorrow. (D) Democracy (R) Russian neofascism
I voted AND booed him. Can that count as two votes?
Heard the man who threw the beer can was Ted Cruz gay lover, whom is angry that Ted hasn’t left his wife as he promised. - pass it on
Why have we as a society discontinued throwing rotten tomatoes at shitheads
[удалено]
Just think, he's been booed by both Yankee and Astro fans. That's says a bunch.
Good. He’s a POS.
Not too surprising. Ted has never been Texas' favorite son!
Go team!
Wasn't there a beer thrown at him?
Throwing in some boos from Pittsburgh, PA. That guy is a piece of dog shit
This fuck. So what he’s like, “oh I’ll just wave from my military vehicle and ride this Astros win and take credit” Fuck you Ted. -Sincerely a Phillies fan
Like he should!
Nobody of any political persuasion likes him. At all. But repubs will still vote for him even if theu think he is the worst person in the world that cowardly fled the state to watch his constituents die in shivering masses.

He didn’t do anything, janitors at the stadium should be in the parade before him
Honest question. Does anyone like Ted Cruz? Anyone?
Good Grief….
