That's disgusting. It's a bad story to tell even if his daughters were not there, because it put O'Connor in an awkward position. I'm sure she didn't want to talk about watching porn with Ted Cruz, regardless of the circumstances. With his daughters present, it was many times worse of a story to tell.
This whole story is either a complete fabrication by Cruz or it's disturbing on so many levels. For starters, Cruz has no business speaking for Sandra Day O'Conner about her reaction to porn. If this actually happened, should it even have been shared outside court chambers? I find it hard to grasp that the judges watched this with each other, and with aides present, in a male/female environment.
FWIW, the only time I'd watch porn with a guy is in a committed relationship, keeping it personal. NO WAY would a guy, even in that kind of relationship, be allowed to speak for me as to reaction.
This story actually increases the "yuck" factor about Cruz. And I didn't think that was possible.
