The Texas GOP convention was held over the weekend, and judging by some of the speeches and overall tone of those who delivered them, it’s accurate to say that the Lone Star State is getting more right-wing by the minute, with attendees loudly booing anyone who disagreed with them on any issue.
One Republican who got an earful was Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who always seems to be at the center of one controversy or the other, if only because he simply doesn’t know when to keep his trap shut.
But it was what happened to Cruz after he had already spoken to the convention that’s making news.
According to Newsweek, an enraged man called Cruz a coward and a globalist before he was finally escorted away from the senator:
“Remember how Trump made fun of your wife and you went and became best friends with Trump, why do you do that?” the man said as he approached Cruz who was sitting at a table in the convention hall.
“You go and become best friends with Trump after he makes fun of you and your wife, why do you do that?”
The man continued his angry rant:
“It is because you are a coward, I do love America, you don’t.
“You care more about the border between Ukraine and Russia than you do about the border between Texas and Mexico, why is that?”
Even as the man was being ushered away, he continued to verbally excoriate Cruz:
“You are a globalist, you know it Ted, you are a globalist. You know that, bud, that is why you are a coward and a liar.
“You know that and I know that, that’s why you are afraid to stand up. When people were freezing and dying you were in Mexico, do you remember that?
“Remember when you had the all-inclusive buffet while people were freezing. Do you remember that Ted? When everyone was freezing and people were dying.”
The video has been viewed online almost 500,000 times since it was posted on Sunday.
