TYT: No One Paid Attention to Ted Cruz' Publicity Tantrum

[WhoIsNumberNone]

"A spokeswoman for Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said Tuesday that the lawmaker walked out of Nelson Mandela's memorial service in Johannesburg when Cuban President Raul Castro spoke to the crowd, according to news reports."*

What's worse than using Former President of South Africa, Nelson Mandela's memorial service for a publicity stunt? Not being noticed while doing it. Ted Cruz did just that, so hopefully his spokesperson was able to relay the message to all of us. Cenk uygur breaks it down.

5. Actually, I think he looks like a puppet.

An offspring of Joseph McCarthy and Tv's Madame to be exact.

3. Cenk says it all

Also sad are all who vote for this Canadian, Cuban douche who has no diplomatic skills at all.

He is the drunk uncle at the funeral!

Make him go away!

4. So why report it?

I like giving him credit when Grandpa Munster makes an ass of himself, but he wants the attention, so don't give it to him. Ignoring him is what will drive him crazy.

6. just a little bit of attention.. so we can all appreciate who he is

and know how/where to deal with him.

7. I think it's appropraite in this case-

-a report mocking him after he had to send out a press release because nobody noticed his little publicity stunt...
