Samantha Bee’s Full Frontal is one of the late night shows, along with Seth Meyers, that pretty consistently hits GOP politics a little beyond Trumpisms. Last night she took on the strange phenomenon that is Ted Cruz. Specifically, the fact that nobody who actually knows him seems to care much, if at all. Opening with clips from fellow Republicans—including the macabre joke Lindsey Graham made at a press conference in South Carolina a few weeks ago—Bee points out that even Bob Dole says he doesn’t like Cruz.
And Bob Dole even fought real Nazis!
She moves on to explain all of the people who have ever come into contact with Cruz seem to not want to be anywhere near Ted Cruz, except some evangelicals—specifically those who believe, like Ted Cruz’s insane father, in dominionism.
Does Ted Cruz believe in dominionism? I hope not, it certainly contradicts that book Ted memorized back in high school when no one was having sex with him.
She drives it all home by showing some clips of of the Cruz family gospel: God has told them that Ted Cruz is the Christ God’s choice for President.
God tells ministers Ted’s destined for greatness and then God tells his wife he’s destined for greatness. Guys, the message is clear: even God can’t stand to have a direct conversation with Ted Cruz! We really are made in His image.
Enjoy!
