It is one thing to be thought a homophobe, but it is another thing to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
One of the sitting U.S. Senators from the state of Texas, Republican Ted Cruz, tells a gay joke about Disney while on his podcast and confirmed that he is a Republican bigot.
Let's clarify a few things this homophobe said. For starters, no one at Disney has ever said that they are going to have any Disney characters "going at it" as Cruz said. But I guess Cruz would be okay if there was porn on the Disney Channel as long as it was Mickey and Minnie going at it. His objection after all was related to Mickey and Pluto going at it.
Under no circumstances, has Disney ever expressed the intention of any of its characters having sex because if they did, Disney would have bigger problems. I can't believe I have to say this to this twisted Senator, but I am willing to guess that Disney Corp. is never going to show porn on a channel designed for children's entertainment.
But this is how this Fascist iteration of the Republican Party works. They identify a perceived culture war, usually something to do with LGBTQ folks, blacks, or immigrants of the wrong color (in their minds) and take it to the extreme, thus scaring their uninformed followers about this so-called problem.
Cruz here is clearly waying in on the fight between Disney and the Republicans currently in control of the People's Republic of Florida.
Florida's Republican-controlled legislature first passed the "Don't say Gay" bill, and yes that is what it is, and now they passed another law punishing Disney for speaking out about this Don't say Gay bill. This is Cancel Culture at its best. I guess they only oppose Cancel Culture when they are the targets but not cancel culture in general. Good to know!
So why is the Senator from Texas weighing in on Florida politics? Simple. It's because he still is imagining a day in which he can run and win the Presidency. That's an even bigger fantasy than his desire to see straight porn on the Disney Channel.
Cruz, who is only Trumped in his sliminess by the former President of the U.S. (TRUMP), has a history of doing and saying the wrong things.
1. Cruz leaves Texas for Cancun, Mexico during a crisis a year ago in which some of his constituents were literally freezing to death.
2. Cruz attacked Big Bird on Sesame St. for promoting Covid-19 vaccine information, something Big Bird has been doing since the 1970s. That's right Sesame Street characters having been helping kids for decades not to be afraid of shots associated with vaccines, but that was too far for Mr. Cruz, who by the way, has been vaccinated for Covid-19. He must just want others to die of Covid.
3. During a filibuster of the Affordable Care Act, Cruz waisted the tax-payer's dollars by reading Green Eggs and Ham on the Senate floor. Oddly enough, Cruz would later criticize Dr. Suess for ending publication of some of its own books.
These are just some examples of the deplorable nature of Senator Cruz. For a comprehensive list of his faults and twisted behaviors, please see the Dallas Observer story linked below.
Given the above list, one has to question, why this tone-deaf homophobe still has a job? You know what to do Texas. The next time this Canadian-born fascist runs for office, vote him out!
