@@grizzybear9111 well thought out reply !
@@grizzybear9111 you can’t even spell grizzly right
Yes!! Thanks for saying that. That is extremely important also.
@@grizzybear9111 I care
Pete’s brain is built different. Every time someone tries to spring a gotcha on him, he just calmly outwits them with that insouciant grin. Love to see it. Thanks, Brian, for the stellar content!
Pete was and still is my choice. 2024 hopefully.
He's corrupt though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Top 5 favorite politician for sure
Yeah, Liz Warren is the same way. They're both great. ✌🙂
@Ross Smith it is well documented. You can deny the evidence if you wish.
This guy should never hold a public position again. He has to go.
He is one of several guys who have to go !
yeah he should be accountable for his mouth, get him out.
He should be expelled and deported back to Canada.
Yes, indeed... Cruz needs to be gone like yesterday! He’s a greedy, backward thinking hack!
👍👍🔌🔅
This is what happens when the person answering the question is way smarter than the one asking.
How does Ted dare even show himself in public 😂
The fact that he went to the inauguration is hilarious to me. He must have a set of balls on him
No soul.
I agree you're absolutely right!
@@patriciatimmons2736 I’m glad you do
..because Ted Cruz has no Humanity in his soul, unless its to serve his own gain. Thats why he got along with, and defended tRUMP.
I wonder if this has anything to do with the 1.3 million he received in donations from the energy sector...
Yer think!
Unfortunately I noticed that Beto O'rourke was in second place on that list......I really wish we could get rid of corporate campaign money
@@beverly719 you're right. The whole campaign finance thing along with lobbying is just legalized bribery.
Since when did Cruz or ANY REPUBLICAN for that matter worry about union jobs or unions!?
Right
Exactly they spent 30 years destroying them and now they want to protect them bulshit
The answer is fucking never
Translation: "Waah wahh, dems bad!"
He doesn't even give a shit about union jobs, and would actively work against them under Trump. He's just interested in that sweet sweet oil money.
Since just a few days ago when President Biden took office & they needed more to continue “Democrats are bad bad bad” rhetoric
Pete is so sharp. I love how he thinks
And THAT he thinks....on the fly. A completely foreign concept to the sewer suckers on the right.
Pete Buttigieg is so intelligent and
Informed, he is unfailingly polite and dignified.
....more jobs have been created under Biden.
Who wants to invest in fossil fuel?
Look to the future...be progressive, build for the future.
@ABSG7 - WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGREE! Why is he not running for president when he is so capable?
"The American people don't want this"
He says, after the American people just voted the opposing party into office.
He’ll never get it....and thank god he doesn’t because then he might actually win something for once in his life.
I wish Texans didn’t want Ted Cruz.
seriously.... he's just speaking for the proportion of 'american people' who literally do not believe anybody who disagrees with them are also americans
Lol. You really are as brain dead as Biden if you think he got 80 million legitimate votes. You must be a victim of the public schools.
@@MrJamberee loser
Why does Ted Cruz still on these commited??WHY HASNT HE BEEN ARRESTED????😠😠😠😠😠
Wholeheartedly agree 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❗
because repubicans are sticking together for various reasons and cruz won't stand down which makes going after him turn into a "look at these crazy liberals" situation if its done
THANK YOU
@@DPowered2 seriously they are so cynical and shameless, it's unreal. but i guess they figure they've already been so successful in cultivating a low info base they might as well keep pandering....
For real. I can’t stand him. He’s complicit for supporting Trump’s lie. Trump must have major dirt on Ted, but regardless Ted is just a worm 🐛
When did the GOP suddenly become pro-union after years of promoting “right-to-work” states with no chance of wage negotiations or possibility of strikes???
As soon as it served the interest of their donors. Just like they suddenly stopped caring about the deficit when it was being used to give their donors $2tn in tax cuts but its an absolute disaster if even $2bn is added to the deficit to fund education or healthcare that would help the working class.
I just looked up “right to work” as it seemed like a curious phrase, and it turns out it’s specifically the right to not have to still pay union fees even if you choose not to join one. Well, who can possibly disagree with that?! Their paycheck should be robbed by a group they don’t participate in?
@@Syclone0044 the issue is if there is a union they still have to defend employees who don’t pay dues. Which means the employee gets all the benefits, but don’t have to contribute anything. This leads to less people supporting the union, but the union still has to spend the same amount of money supporting all the workers. Eventually the union can’t afford to defend anyone, and that means no employee will be protected by a union. It’s why it’s a union busting technique.
@@Syclone0044 welcome to Florida. Also, it's also choosing to join a union, like a teacher's union, and it not really bring able to do much for you BECAUSE this is a right to work state.
@@Syclone0044 "Right to work" is a two-fold strategy by Republicans: 1. it takes away negotiating power (funding) from unions and tilts power towards corporations who want to break unions. 2. labor unions historically contributed heavily to Democratic candidates. Karl Rove has said on TV that the union busting measures are to attack their funding. This is part of the reason why the corporate wing of Democrats have gained such prominence: the labor union funding is drying up.
Gee Ted, why aren't you helping those children find their parents, instead of worrying about YOUR commi$$ion?
The children that Oblamer said had to be separated from their parents? The law started under OB admin.
also kinda late and hypocritical for Ted Cruz to care about "union jobs"
He's been anti-union his whole life
Pete called him out on that during the hearing. It was very subtle but Rafael picked up on it and was not amused.
Agree completely.
@@txnmia8613 : Yay, Pete!
Not many repubs or corporations that are for unions, way to keep the wages low.
Yep. Stinks to hear such a sw... (censored) play the union card. Can't stand the face of this punk, calls all invectives up in me. 🤬
Why don't democrats every time they speak to Ted Cruz mention the fact that he's an insurrectionist. "Yes Mr insurrectionist I'll answer your question".
I’m beyond tired of Democrats taking the high road. If I was in there I would refuse to refer to him as anything other than “mr. insurrectionist formally known as the zodiac killer”
Love it !
Amen perfect!
Because Dems are terrible at getting on the attack and staying on it.
With everything the Repukelicans have done,there should be enough fuel for Dems to go after them for years but they won't.
As Roisin Culler said,they far too often take the high road.
Go after these SOBs, especially the ones that have really earned it like Ted Cruz, Hawley and so many others.
The pipeline project stole land, endangered the environment, wasn't even close to being on schedule for completion, it didn't even hit 10% of the promised jobs....cancelling the permit was the correct move on this plus everything Brian stated

"He's either incrediblydisingenuous or incredibly stupid"
err..why does it have to be either?
False dichotomy do be like that sometimes, you’re totally right 😁
It's that he thinks the voters are stupid
He is both.
I vote both.
Both disingeuosly stupid he's shallow.
I also like how all the sudden Cruz is worried about union jobs.
Exactly!
$$$$$$
Cruz is against union jobs. What a loser he is.
He’s from Texas as am I. Unions are very rare here in Texas, in fact they’re rare in the entire south. The GOP has been anti-union for decades.
@@GV-du3fi hense my reasoning for wondering why he is all the sudden worried about unions. Btw I live in Texas as well and manage a union shop. So I'm quite aware of the situation around here. Please read and comprehend next time.
Hi Brian - thank you so much for your content!
He has great content
The bottom line is, the keystone pipeline was unlawful. They cannot claim eminent domain on native lands.
But/and... re-route it!
Thank you for bringing that up. Many of those lands
are sacred and are being unlawfully seized
@@mjo.4166 what about the native tribes that object to canceling the pipeline?
They can't claim eminent domain either!
@@dandcarter if your being snarky, you should stop. My phone does its autocorrect thing, and its clear you understood what was being stated.
Nice try though.
Why is Ted Cruz talking about eliminating union jobs? Like he's ever done anything but fight unions.
His TrumpubelikkkQanon lies are evident.
Turd Cruz needs to resign.
And he “represents” a right to work state which hates unions. God, I can’t stand hm.
Hilarious. While you're corrupt America hating unions are spamming the internet pretending they didn't know your mass murdering warmonger Biden would take their jobs. Even though your mass murdering warmonger promised to take their jobs and your union endorsed him anyway... Hilarious.
@captain tweak especially the spherical one.
😂😂😂 💯
Look at cruz crying about unions. Is there a human alive who believes this act?
Yes. QAnon idiots will believe
Party of union busters, but whining about union jobs??? 🤪
Keystone pipeline land belong to the Native Americans
Which people surely forget
Every time I see you I love you and your smile ..will you marry me
Exactly!
It’s terribly sad how the majority of people don’t know that..
Hello Leonaza7❣️ Always good to see you🌟
And let’s be honest we already have taken more than enough of there land
"I would say it's disconcerting" to see an instigator of an insurrection still sitting in the Senate.
Comfortably sporting his Confederate beard
A republican being pro union 😂 boy that’s rich.
To try to pass democrats off as anti-union.
Hell 22 million lost their jobs does he care about them?
Right
Texas is a right to work state how does he care about union jobs?
@@dennisdoodan9348 I think he does. He's the kind of person who sees vulnerability as an opportunity for him to build an electoral base at all costs. Even if it means lying about his personal convictions...
Since when does a staunch conservative republican EVER care about unions?? Methinks there is something rotten in congress...
Pete called him out on that during the hearing very subtly. Rafael picked up on it but was not amused.
I think what Ted was trying to say that with one stroke of a pen he wiped out all of my campaign money and without it I don't have a chance to run for president in 2024
In 2021, Americans shouldn’t be surprised how shortsighted conservative viewpoints are.
I would love to see infrastructure work that creates permanent prosperty. Such as roads. Such as public schools.
The world has seen growing, and shrinking, economies for centuries now. We have the data. The best way to grow a strong economy is:
1.) spend money on transportation and communication
2.) spend money on education and research.
Nothing there about oil pipelines.
shortsighted how? What will be replacing this pipeline and when? When will we see a net gain for the money invested and jobs lost? While this didnt create any real permanent jobs neither does the replacement (which we still don't know when it will be constructed). You could argue shortsightedness for greenhouse gas emissions in which I would wholeheartedly agree with HOWEVER to just assume a long-term plan will work without short-term fill-ins is a plan destined to fail. So think like this...we lose 1k jobs right and we say we will make millions more but there is really nothing coming out of the pipeline for this just yet. So for probably 3 to 4 years these people will sit without a job and whoever that pipeline would have benefitted financially will no longer do so for another 3 to 4 years. THEN We invest in building clean energy probably billions of dollars in the negative taking around maybe 10 years to net even? This just seems wildly absurd to me. Replace the bad energy with green energy when we actually have investments in it so people dont lose jobs and the country doesnt lose billions. Simple and conservative solution.
As their point of view, we need to bring back horse breeding and wooden wagons.
Oh, and fax machines and telegrams.
@@simonjaz1279 What you have just stated is the definition of short-sighted way of thinking.
True conservatives do not think like Cruz.
You can clearly see from the expression that he is a crook. Why isn't he in jail?
I can’t believe how traitor Rafael Cruz (yes, that’s his name, he’s Hispanic) has the nerve to question anyone after what he has done. SMH.
Does he speak Spanish?
@@eatmyshorts808 Probably not, blame the parents
I thought he was actually Canadian
@@edc8657 Was born in Calgary, Alberta in 1970, but came to the US when he was 4. His crazy cultist dad is Cuban though, and mother is american.
A lot of them in his position like to use less Hispanic/Latino sounding names. Especially when they're into the whole white-supremacy and support Systemic Racism.
Wouldn’t it be great if “Conservative” also meant conserving the Environment?
Too bad they only care about their money!
conservatism is nothing more than an affront to white/western supremacy.
Where they crave for the times where they as white people can do and tell people to do as they wish, because they're white and male, and have guns.
They don't care about abortions, they just want to tell women what they can or cannot do. And hide behind the bible while doing so.
If womens' rights weren't such a big issue in today's society, they'd be against women voting rights too.
They're having such a hard time coming to terms with an inclusive society nowadays, because they lose whatever sense of supremacy they were clinging on to.
So-called "conservatives" don't want to conserve anything.
@American Freedom World Peace fiscally conservative=I don't want to help anyone else, lol, that's their only problem.
Conservative means hopelessly old fashioned (and opposing progress)!
Has anyone mentioned that the pipeline was being built on Native American land ?
Yes and Amen. I live in red-state Oklahoma and you will almost get beat up if you mention this. Thanks for saying this.

Facts!!!
Why is Cruz even asking questions about energy when Buttigieg is nominated for Transportation?
For that idiot from Texas, transportation means oil.
That Pipeline shouldn't have been approved in the 1st place!
I agree from Canada.... only one province (Alberta) wants this. A lot of us want a renewable energy source.
I'm with you bud. Let's destroy an economy and put hordes of people out of work. Then we can move to a green energy option like electric cars in which the batteries are also made by petroleum, in a far worse manner to the environment. That sounds like a smart idea. Better yet how about some of you move to California and jump start this for everyone. California has already made large leaps into solar farms and they are realizing the benefits. Just look -----). www.americanthinker.com/blog/2019/10/the_california_blackouts_and_solar_power.html
Just insult his wife's looks Pete. THEN Cruz will fall in line with your policies.
That's not true! Pete also has to accuse Ted's dad of murdering JFK!
I hear that she is so ugly that he takes her every where he goes just so he doesn't have to kiss her goodbye.
@@kenthorsen4558 Simon's statement is just commentary on the insulting and demeaning things trump says about anyone he doesn't like (and the hypocrisy of Ted sucking up to trump even after he insulted Ted's wife), but when you make personal attacks like this, it just comes across like trump.
Just sayin...

Got that right, and then some. Karma's been making her rounds politically the last few months now and his turn will come sooner than later
2angies19 and trump saw his ass😂
lol Ted wasn’t expecting that last line from Pete 😂
I like how he pretends to care about union jobs all of a sudden. When his record shows he votes against those protections for job security constantly.
Really not understanding how he still has his senate seat
Because a lot of Texas don't even follow or care what he is doing. The "R" after his name is all they care about.
Because he’s from Texas.
I bet his wife told him to shave his beard and he told her trump said it looks good so he's keeping it😂
Gerrymandering.
@@ladyv5655 Bingo..Gerrymandering and voter suppression
Since when has Ted Cruz cared about union jobs or union members? Didn't he vote for and co-sponsor anti union legislation?!
Someone tell Cruz that facts don’t care about his fears.

Mayor Pete, smiley and optimistic; Cruz, negative and divisive as always
There's never been a clearer view of the two paths in life,
1) the path of service to others (Mayor Pete, Biden, the Democrats & their voters) And
2) the path of service to self (Ted Cruz, Trump, the GOP, & their Republican base)
The choice is crystal clear to ANYONE with a soul, morals, and a desire to see humanity progress beyond greed, dishonesty, cruelty, immorality and self promotion.
Choose wisely Grasshopper, the fate of humanity is in your grasp.
Mayor Pete is smiling because he knows he is a more intelligent, more personable human than Cruz can ever hope to be.

Conservatives are not creative and does not think long term. Liberals are all about change and innovation. There’s a reason why liberals created Silicon Valley and Big Tech, and conservatives continues to use liberal innovations, and cry and whine about being treated unfairly.
Ted Cruz has put on some POUNDS. Wait: since _when_ do Republicans care about _union jobs?_
What woman? Ugly or Not, would marry that disgusting excuse for a Man?

It’s funny how Teddy is fighting for the union workers who are still getting a decent wage. But not fight for many who were displaced due to that pipeline. We see you Teddy

@@jeanettesmith765 Texas here, no we're not. We're too _gerrymandered._

Don’t debate Mayor Pete. Still the smartest guy in the room. Correction: Transportation Secretary Mayor Pete.
Smartest guy in the room.... that's funny. He couldn't run his little town that he was mayor of correctly. And he thought he could run this country? And he's gonna sit there and say "oh they can just move to other jobs... we hope...".
Yeah, love your confidence there, Pete. But then I didn't expect anything else from a Biden cabinet. Gonna go right back to Obummer's "America last" policies. Bring back all the ridiculous regulations so jobs will be forced back overseas (to Bidens CCP buddies, of course). Kill tens of thousands of jobs by stopping the pipeline and drilling on federal land, which also makes us energy dependent again, much to the delight of Russia and many others. Stop the wall construction and let illegals in by the tens of thousands and give them everything for free and then they can take all what few jobs will be left. Not to mention all of the non-vetted illegals that will be watzing right into our country and bringing their child sex trafficking with them. But then many if the deep state swamp rats are all for that, aren't they?
Oh yeah, y'all are just gonna turn this place upside down and undo every good thing Trump did for us.
It’s much better to cancel a pipeline and encourage renewable energy jobs & nuclear energy jobs rather than stick to an industry with limited resources and cause thousands of job losses during oil shortages & the lowering demand.
Undocumented immigrants aren’t even allowed to have access to public services and you need a SSA card to actually do anything and be in the process of gaining citizenship.
Biden’s not pro-China, it’s more the opposite.
The Obama administration actually massively decreased the trade deficit from $60 billion to $40 billion. While the Trump administration actually increased the trade deficit to $67 billion which is higher than George W. Bush’s administration & highest period since 2008. The Obama administration also targeted China on minerals and negotiated with China to remove export tax restrictions for American and foreign companies companies to gain access to Chinese minerals since it violated WTO standards, prioritized Chinese companies & was against China’s stance. Jobs were also increasing during the Obama administration. And most outsourced jobs to China are manufacturing jobs due high competitiveness from companies in industries such as Consumer electronics within China, not from government policies and most non manufacturing jobs and competitive manufacturing jobs such as the auto-industry jobs were kept in the US especially after the government bailed out General Motors by the US treasury under the Obama administration. Outsourcing is the least of concerns on replacing workers, and automation & growing service sector jobs is the most to be concerned about as there were increase in American manufacturing production but decrease in manufacturing employment. The Obama administration was actually better on having competitive and domestic industries in a stimulus fueled economy while reducing the trade deficit, but trade freely without tariffs and compete fairly. While the Trump administration formed tariffs on foreign products and increase the trade deficit with other countries but only non-Chinese nations. But, Joe Biden’s most likely is going to continue those policies from the Obama administration to help American manufacturing, since he was the Vice President of the US during the time.
Joe Biden also is planning on bringing manufacturing back to America under his “Made in America” initiative of policies, reduce the trade deficit like the Obama administration was doing, while keeping free trade and have competition with foreign competitors.

How can he show his face and have the nerve to question someone else's motives? He shouldn't be a congressman ever again

BUT police unions don't interfere with company profits, and if they get sued, WE the taxpayer's have to pay the judgement and Repubs just DON'T care when taxpayer's have to pay!!

Well there was Lincoln!
Since when is Senator Rafael Cruz worried about jobs, let alone good paying, union jobs?
That old fossil is only out to protect the fossil fuel industry. Like Brian alluded to, if beepers were still a thing, Cruz would gladly lobby on behalf of that industry against progressive steps toward advancing smart phones...if it lined his greased pockets.
What did I miss, Rafael?
He doesn't care.
@@irishart1361 -- I believe that "Rafael" is Cruz's actual given name. "Ted" is a nickname.

Indeed.

Until the job is done, and the Pipeline breaks/leaks and flows right into the Mississippi river and MILLIONS of lives DESTROYED!!! .... along with wildlife and land on a massive level. #AllPipesLeak .....Fact
@@JohnSmith-lk5fg 35 jobs, and Cruz would make them all Canadians for a $10K "contribution".
@@chilidog1 nice finally someone else pointing out fact! Not fear mongering rhetoric!
Idk why he's even allowed to still be apart of the senate after what he did he should be expelled tf.
Once in Congress, it would take an IMPEACHMENT to get rid of a very bad choice( aka..cruz)
Pete is brilliant and speaks incredibly well and understands the big picture. Ted should know better than to back him into a corner.
"...he's either incredibly disingenuous, or incredibly stupid." WHY NOT BOTH? :)
It's both.
Yeah, the two are not mutually exclusive.
OH COME ON! You can do a LOT better than that.....though I do appreciate the "disingenuous" reference. You know that is WAY outside the comprehension of the MAGGOT hatters.
YEP, BOTH
The only response Ted Cruz should ever get from now on: "Seditionist says what?"
🤣🤣🤣
FACTS!!! 💯💯💯
Crus acting like he didnt just try to overthrow the US Constitution
CRUD is a main actor in the SEDITION CAUCUS
The question is, what would you said to the American people, about your involvement in the insurrection?
So let me get this straight. Cruz says smartassedly, “Someone else will get those jobs?” This after Trump’s response to small businesses closing due to COVID was, “I know restaurants are closing...but they’ll open again. It may not be the same restaurant...it may not be the same owner, but they’ll open again.” FUNNY THAT!!!
Makes you think that most Republican politicians and most Republicans are THAT stupid, doesn't it?
@@freeurmind5790 : oh they are .
Pete is so eloquent, he has answers for everything, Cruz made fool of himself.
Right. As you said, "Cruz made a fool of himself"... As usual.

TENDERS
Ted Cruz is worried about union jobs being lost but didn't give a shit when Trump took union representation away from DoD federal workers last year.
The Republicans depend on narrow-minded supporters who can be easily "blinded with science".
Republicans are always and everywhere about crushing unions.
Look at the human blob fish pretending to give AF
He's not worried about any kind of job the average citizen holds. He just wants fodder to use for spinning his corrupt narratives.
You can't enrage someone who has nerves of steel. Buttigieg has nerves of steel.
just like all republicans Cruz is completely out of this world like trump and green and so many republicans
This, the man who thought the Paris Accord only suited people in Paris.
You literally can't make this crap up, and I'm pretty creative.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
le sigh, amirite?
I don’t think he actually believes that one. If I was a betting woman, I’d betcha that he thinks it plays to the base he is trying to inherit.
...and only involves Hondas.
Ted suddenly acting like he's a supporter of unions is one of the cringier aspects of 2021
Remember he always wanted to be President. So what ever it takes for that too happen
As two faced as they come.
Came here to write the same thing. Nice to see that others see right through old Lyin' Ted.
This!!
@@amadeusb4 he's the worst. And he's dumb enough to believe if he keeps toeing the line he'll inherit the Trump base. Loyalty is a one-way street when it comes to the FPOTUS.
I love how Buttig didn't even miss a beat after Ted's question. He's so smart.
@Ross Smith Yep. Pete does his h9mework. Teddy is too busy sneaking into the girl's locker room.
Imagine being so arrogant that you try to get Pete to slip on a 'gotcha" question 🧐 *utterly impossible Sir* 😘
Buttigieg sounds & looks 100% more intelligent than Ted Cruz!
So does my chocolate Labrador
He is, buttigief is from the smart kid, con artist, consultant clan. The ones that Ted would call the find a solution for some problem Cruz made by being stupid.
Love Pete. But ANYONE else sounds 100% smarter than gpa Munster....Ted Cruz LOL.
Thats because he is - way, way smarter than Cruz.
He's a Rhodes Scholar so of course he's smarter than Cruz. To be fair though, my 🐱 could easily outsmart Cruz.
Lol, keystone was promised to have 30k + jobs nearly a decade ago and only had 1100 jobs lmao
did you notice him say 11,000 lol
And bonus, once the pipeline was completed, it would only take 55 people to run it. Shame. The Canadian premiers that advocated for Keystone XL got it wrong and are paying the price for it.
The pipeline had a lot of issues from the get-go. 😒 According to the Washington Post, it was controversial because of climate activists. The channel "would carry tar sands, or heavy bitumen, from the boreal forests of northern Alberta, Canada, to refineries on the U.S. Gulf Coast. The energy used in extracting these molasses-like petroleum supplies would contribute heavily to climate change." Furthermore, there were legal hurdles between the Trump administration and the private sector. "As large financial institutions have become more sensitive to climate considerations, several major banks have announced that they would no longer lend money to oil sands extraction projects." In other words, sociopolitical pressure, climate concerns, and legal obstacles made the pipeline construction arduous to continue in oil production, Pres. Biden already told the American people that he isn't allowing oil production on federal lands. In terms of existing oil production, we're still here.
Oh, the Biden administration is supporting nuclear power. Support Nuclear Energy! ☢☢☢
Yeah and once the pipeline is built bye bye all those union jobs....
Like that factory mr impeached squared promised in Wisconsin-- several thousand square feet, with 2500 employees. People were given money to move to the town. Factory turned out to be small warehouse size with 250 employees.

Sorry Karen they lost wars
Not any more it does! 2 words manifest destiny.
Would love to have heard Ted's jobs complaints when they banned lead pipes in 2004 or asbestos in 1989.
When did Cruz or Republicans care about unions, or workers.
...or America as a free nation!
It makes me feel good that Ted’s daughter hates him.
I know how she feels. My dad was a slimy POS too.
His wife loathes him too. After all, he let the former president call her "ugly" and did nothing.
It would break my heart if my one of my daughters would hate me. In his case i can see why she hates him though...
Interesting observation. Had not heard this, but since he is against all woman’s rights, it definitely makes sense. Sorry my dear. It must be terrible to have a father that does not respect your feelings.
Brian🙏🏼YOU are soooo informative🇺🇸♥️
Why is he not in jail along with the other insurrectionist?? How does that criminal still have the privilege to question anyone??
THIS!!
Exactly what I was thinking!! This punk is useless... even to himself.
Because. You used the proper word, privileged.
Exactly!! I want to see him and trump take the stand for 11 hrs like they grilled hillary over her emails....they need to be grilled over thier insurrectionists plans.
They are all horrible. Term limits!
Without Donny around Ted has to think for himself. Now HE has to act “like a smart person”. This hurts his brain.
🤣🤣
Teddy HAS a brain?
Note the key word
"ACT" because he isn't really ! He's spineless coward! Who should be worrying about being complicit in conspiracy to insurrection!

@Terry George ... It’s a Democracy in definition because the people vote on issues and have a say in governance. But according to the USEmbassy.gov website, we are a constitutional FEDERAL republic. You can read a more accurate breakdown of the classification by visiting here.
@Terry George when will you people stop embarrassing yourselves?
Not to mention that once constructed (against the objections of those who would live near the pipeline) the Keystone project would only support 12 to 18 jobs. As in less than twenty.
I’ll bet ol’ Cruz has got a bunch of stock in the Keystone - poor guy.😉
Yep! It's all about the money with these nuts.
The people who live near the pipeline would disagree with Ted the leaks as well environmental damages list goes on plenty of reasons to repurpose union workers.
I wonder how his wife feels about him. When Trump called her ugly and her husband continued to Pander to him.
Also, that Frump claimed Ted Cruz’s father was part of the assassination of JFK.

Keystone pipeline completely destroys the environment. That is not worth any amount of jobs. Giving our children and grandchildren a wasteland just to give Canadians the ability to export their oil to other countries is foolish.
Shouldn’t this guy be in jail for being complicit in an insurrection.

Lol. Same.
He looks like a mafia guy chilling
This is so painfully accurate. I get that exact same feeling.
No joke. His tone, diction, and cadence are just creepy. His body (gag) language even more so. I literally feel so gross anytime I have to see or hear him.
😂😂😂
Why is lying Ted still in the Senate? Isn't he at all embarrassed?
He is not. Shame is dead.
Sociopaths don’t feel shame.
Incredibly disingenuously stupid!
