Related: About this forumTYT: Senator Ted Cruz Scares Little Girl
"John Iadaola (https://twitter.com/jiadarola) discusses Senator Ted Cruz scarring the shit out of some small girl during a speech in New Hampshire.
Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz is sort of known for his wacky antics but he may have gone a little too far during a speech sponsored by the Strafford County Republican Committee in New Hampshire. Cruz was giving a fiery speech that was mostly negative towards the Obama administration. Business as usual. He was especially negative of Obama's foreign policy, saying that he has left 'the world on fire'. A little girl in the crowd loudly asked her mother if this was true, and Cruz took a moment out of his speech to focus on the girl and answer her question; 'Yes, your world is on fire!' he told her.
Obviously this left the girl understandably upset. This outburst by Cruz has been widely regarded as a bad move, with reporters and onlookers taking to Twitter to bash Cruz. Their reactions have gone from flabbergasted to comical. Cruz attempted to quell the child but it still doesn't change his brief lasp in judgement."

"stop laughing at me. No I mean it, stop talking. I'm playing my game."
We need more people to say that to the Faux noise anchors.

already know. From the mouths of babes.RepubliCONS seem to think it's funny making children cry. Like taking the food off the table, shelter over the heads. Working poor people with two or three jobs to try to survive as they destroy the unions and ship the good paying jobs overseas.
