Ted Cruz Tries To Troll MSNBC Hosts And Winds Up In The Middle Of An Embarrassing Self-Own

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R) couldn’t resist firing off a cheap shot at two MSNBC hosts, but his attempt at trolling them resulted in the joke being at his own expense.

Appearing on Sean Hannity’s nightly hour of conspiracy theories, lies, and assorted bullshittery, Cruz suggested that when Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski made a visit to Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort after last month’s presidential election to mend fences hadn’t done so to kiss the Donald’s ring.

“I’m not even sure they were kissing the ring. I think they were kissing a little bit lower than that.”

While that may sound like a nasty burn, the fact that it’s coming from a sniveling sycophant like Cruz is beyond hypocritical, not to mention ironic to the nth degree.

After all, this the very same Ted Cruz who angrily whined when Trump made fun of his wife’s looks during the 2016 race for the White House, only to turn around and enthusiatically endorse him less than a month later when he wanted to remain politically viable in the Republican Party.

So instead of landing a blow on Scarborough and Brzezinski, all Teddy accomplished was humiliating himself so he could once again curry favor with a man who hates him. And that’s beyond pathetic, as social media users reminded Cruz.

Lauren Boebert’s Latest Photo Is A Humiliating Self-Own

Over the weekend, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) spoke to the Adams County Republican Party in her home state, but based on the photo she shared on social media of the event, it appears her ability to draw a crowd is nothing short of pathetic.

Boebert, who switched congressional districts to boost her already uncertain bid for re-election, posted this on Twitter after the event ended on Saturday.

Notice anything odd in those pictures? Sure looks like there are lots of empty seats, doesn’t it, which suggests the controversial Boebert isn’t the draw she imagines herself to be.

As you’d imagine, others had a field day with the photos and couldn’t resist mocking Boebert.

Lauren Boebert Owns Herself By Suggesting She’s Smarter Than Kamala Harris

Colorado Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert is again displaying her own lack of self-awareness and basic intelligence with an attack she made on Vice President Kamala Harris, whom she accused of not being educated.

Commenting on a video she shared on Twitter of the VP making remarks, Boebert wrote, “The same people who will try and knock me for having a GED think this lady represents intelligence and eloquence. Whoever paid for her education wasted their money.”

As Uproxx rightly notes, Boebert’s reported troubles passing the GED are only one reason she’s seen as being one of the most intellectually-challenged members of Congress.

Of course, Boebert misses the point while believing that her GED is why people pile onto her on a regular basis. She has frequently trashed education to the point where she called to abolish the entire education department. And given that she only acquired her GED a mere few months before being elected to Congress, her interest in pursuing it probably had little to do with actual learning. She’s also stepped in on previous occasions by proposing a lot more time for lawmakers to read bills, so there’s that.

This isn’t the first time Boebert has humiliated herself for all the world to see.

When you act perpetually clueless and moronic, you get labeled as such, and it has nothing at all to do with a GED, as Twitter users quickly reminded the doltish Ms. Boebert.

Kayleigh McEnany Deletes Tweet After Owning Herself And Donald Trump With Posting

If you’re in need of some humor, former White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany provided plenty of laughter on Twitter with a post she made (and later deleted) about the murder rate under the Biden administration.

The problem: The chart she referenced to make her point actually measured a rising murder rate while failed, one-term former President Donald Trump was in office.

According to Mediate, here’s what happened:

Former Trump Press Secretary and current Fox News host Kayleigh McEnany deleted a tweet Wednesday night that slammed the sharp increase in the murder rate in 2020.

Her quote tweet of a New York Times article on crime rate trends included a predictably political missive: “The US Murder Rate under Joe Biden…”

However, as many on Twitter were quick to point out, the massive increase in the murder rate shown on the graph happened in 2020, when the president was Donald Trump, and McEnany worked at the White House. Oops.

And here’s McEnany’s tweet:

The report from the Times referenced by McEnany states:

The United States in 2020 experienced the biggest rise in murder since the start of national record-keeping in 1960, according to data gathered by the F.B.I. for its annual report on crime.

The Uniform Crime Report will stand as the official word on an unusually grim year, detailing a rise in murder of around 29 percent.

If Kayleigh had bothered to think for a moment, she would have realized that Biden didn’t take office until January 20, 2021, meaning a crime stat from 2020 would fall on her former boss.

And deleting the tweet only complicates the matter, because it draws attention to McEnany’s flub. Then again, the moment she hit the “Tweet” button, her self-own became a fait accompli. Oh, and she even managed to own Trump, too. That’s one hell of a twofer.

Reactions on social media to Kayleigh’s idiocy were piquant and hilarious:

Only the best people. Right, Kayleigh?
