If only those who promoted culture war knew something about culture.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) suggested this week that Pat Benatar's music was played during child sacrifice...There are so many black metal bands Ted Cruz could have used here, and yet his idea of satanic music is... Pat Benatar.
""Hell Is for Children" is a hard rock song by American rock singer Pat Benatar. It was written by guitarist Neil Giraldo, bass player Roger Capps and Benatar. The song is about child abuse and was recorded by Benatar in 1980 for her second studio album Crimes of Passion."
During her Halloween 1977 gig at Catch a Rising Star, Pat wore the Halloween costume she had on from a contest earlier in the night. She was dressed in spandex as a character from a B movie called Cat-Women of the Moon. She would later wear similar costumes whenever she performed.
During an appearance on the Joe Pags talk show on Thursday, Republican Sen. Ted Cruz answered a question regarding whether or not a supermajority would ever vote to remove Biden from office in the case of an impeachment by way of diverging off into a Satanic flight of fancy.
"I don't think Senate Democrats, if you had video of Joe Biden murdering children dressed as the devil under a full moon while singing Pat Benatar, they still wouldn't vote to convict," Cruz said.
This mention of Benatar's name (forget about Biden dressed as the devil and killing kids, I guess) sent the internet a'flutter, with many wondering if her music is the most "Satanic" example Cruz could come up with at the time.
"I now have a mental image of Pat Benatar just sitting at her kitchen table and wondering why she's trending on Twitter, and then seeing why," said another.
