Ew, Dad! That’s gross!
With his two young daughters just feet away from him, Republican presidential contender Ted Cruz told the bizarre story of how he watched porn with Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor.
The Texas senator, his wife Heidi and their daughters — 8-year-old Caroline and 5-year-old Catherine — all took the stage at a CNN town hall Wednesday night, which also featured a strange story about Cruz's love of canned soup.
Before discussing his relationship with his wife and Caroline’s upcoming birthday party, Cruz discussed how he once had to watch porn as part of his duties as a law clerk for the Supreme Court, a strange tale he first recounted in his 2015 memoir.

Joy Behar: "Who do you think you are? ...Woody Allen"
Of course you are....it’s Ted Cruz, so of course, you all get your panties in a twist with glee, at how much you can blithely spew your hatred and venom on how much he disgusts you.
It’s sad. That you not only seem to feel good about the things you say, but are so arrogant that you think you’re above reproach.
What an odd thing to bring up. Why bring this up? Why tell this story? It is beyond weird. I can’t fathom why he would talk about this. What’s the point? I understand that Cruz is a very smart man inside his wheelhouse as an attorney, I get that but this kind of thing makes me wonder where his mind is at when it comes to things sexual. It is like he is missing a buffer or his keel is off a bit. Creeps me out.
LOL. I don’t know what to say really. She was his daughter so nothing happened.
After Marla, Donald Trump had such a bad reputation with women in America, he had to go to Europe to find wife #2 and then #3.
Dignified would be a judge viewing with just one of their own clerks present, then perhaps later in discussions some common viewing of already-screened episodes might be appropriate.
I don't see what's arrogant about my statement. Folks with any class at all do not speak for other's reactions and emotions.
These are even more repulsive.
The title needs to be made more accurate. This is waht needs to be added:
..... as part of his duties as a law clerk for the Supreme Court, a strange tale he first recounted in his 2015 memoir.
The guy has no social filter. It really was a very poor decision to tell that story in that venue.
What makes it all the more odd is that the forum was set up to show him in a different light, to showcase his family and the interaction they have. To humanize him.
He took that opportunity to talk porn and buying 100 cans of soup! These were rehearsed and calculated stories that he thought would cast him in a kind light, to let voters relate to him.
Didn't work.
I can attest they were there not all that long ago and have recently been scrubbed because I watched them. I recall his comments about his daughter Ivanka, Paris Hilton (which was more than a little creepy) and what he related on how he reacted when Marla Maples told him she was pregnant.
I don’t like the source at all, or the conclusions made but the audio on that can be found here.

In all fairness I will say however that Trump never says he suggested to Marla to get an abortion, although some would hear it as being inferred. The clip also does not include the last part when Trump says something like “Well then, you want to get married?”
But I do find it curious why only some DT/Howard Stern videos have been taken down.
We can support whom we want and differ in opinion but to my mind discussion should be rational and honest and based in reality.
I agree. It's gotten very out of hand.
Interesting ... I’ll listen with that in mind henceforth
I agree Rooster. He’s smarmy.
Thanks.
It’s very interesting. I don’t think it’s unrelated to the campaign.
He loved it and probably called Deb Palfrey the next day.
LOL
Ted was asked a question about Marco Rubio. So he relayed a story about their “friendship” and how they joked with each other and used that story as an example.
T. CRUZ: He would be someone that you would be a fool not to look at seriously. He’s very, very talented. And, you know, you asked if Marco and I are friends. Let me tell you a story.
So last year, I wrote a book called “A Time for Truth.” And in the book, one of the chapters is talking about the year I spent as a law clerk at the Supreme Court. And it describes — the chapter begins with me watching pornography on the Internet with Sandra Day O’Connor, which was a bit of a bizarre experience.
(LAUGHTER)
It was the first of the Internet porn cases to go to the court, and the court librarians were showing the justices what the Internet was, and they’d pull it up, and the story I told, I was clerking for Chief Justice Rehnquist. They paired the chief justice and Justice O’Connor and their law clerks were in this little room looking at this computer screen that pulls up hardcore porn. And Justice O’Connor — I still remember, she leaned forward and she squinted and said, “Oh, my!”
But the Marco piece of this — so the book comes out and there were some — you know, reporters thought that was a funny story, so they wrote about that story. And I’m on a plane and Marco texts me and says, “Holy cow, you watched porn? Our oppo researchers missed that.”
(LAUGHTER)
Ted Cruz has a problem with having a social filter? Ted Cruz?
Bwahahaha....this coming from a Trump supporter. Laughable...
Really? copyright issues.
This is B. S! It seems that there a large number of anti-Cruz articles on this web site today: why is that? Cruz is
clearly the only true conservative running: he should have our backing!
Remember this?
