![]() So long as our political leaders are more frightened by gun lobbyists than sickened by gun violence, these killings will continue. Ted Cruz didn’t write this song, but he could have.

Imagine, if you will, Ted Cruz, in his never-ending campaign for fame, penning a hip hop song, this time in honor of gun rights? What these critics may have missed was Cruz’s gift for grandstanding (and hip hop). Since the summit took place only days after-and less than 300 miles from-the Uvalde mass shooting, critics lambasted Cruz for attending. He warned us against trying “to restrict the constitutional rights of law-abiding citizens.” He urged more armed law enforcement officers and fewer exits at schools.Īt the recent NRA leadership summit in Houston, Senator Cruz continued his fearless fight for gun rights (and gun lobby donations). His 2016 hip hop campaign song, "Time for Truth,” confirmed his street cred.Īfter the recent Uvalde Texas murders, Senator Cruz sent more “thoughts and prayers” to the grieving families who lost their children at Robb Elementary School. Like reading Green Eggs and Ham, buying Shiner Bock (to fly his Texas flag) or lambasting state Democrats for leaving Texas the same year he flew to Cancun during a historic energy outage. Ted Cruz is the GOAT of political stunts.
