"SNIP.....

U.S. Army leaders rallied around a soldier featured in a recruitment video that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) mocked as representative of an “emasculated military,” reports Stars and Stripes.

Cruz retweeted a video that featured Cpl. Emma Malonelord, an air defense system operator stationed in South Korea.

Said Gen. Robert Abrams of Malonelord: “A superstar by any measure…exceptionally sharp, professional, technical expert, highly respected by her peers, superiors and subordinates.”

Ted Cruz is more despicable with every word thst he vomits out.

Well, Canadian Ted Cruz, you like the Russian military so much, go to Russia. We can find out if they think you’re as despicable as we know you are.

In case you have trouble with poorly disguised nuance, you are disgusting.

the more attention the better as far as he's concerned. does he ever do any actual work or is he just making stupid tweet comments to get him more clicks?
