Way to go, Ted.

Perhaps it was a highly trained terror Muzzie who murdered all those kids at Sandy Hook? There's no way pencil stick Adam Lanza did that, that is IF IT EVEN REALLY HAPPENED.
We need to do this in the US.

Excellent- thank you Cruz!
I think he’s that petulant. It’s why it was convincing.
