La Porte, IN–Texas Sen. Ted Cruz said a kid growing up in his household would have been spanked if they acted out the way a boy did towards him Sunday during a rally.
The pre-teen boy was escorted out by local law enforcement when he told Cruz during a rally, “You suck.” The incident began when Cruz talked about his tax plan and heard the boy’s voice screaming something un-intelligible to him from the crowd.
“Apparently there’s a young boy who’s had some problems,” Cruz said. The child yelled something unknown again at Cruz but then screamed louder, “You suck.”

He just couldn’t help himself. He had to mention Trump I’m his little moment with the kid. Pathetic
Ted seems to be as thin skinned as the current DiC
Our nation has lost its civility.
Interesting. A foul-mouthed boy shows his lack of self-control and lack of moral formation at a rally, and many on FR are basically saying that they approve, that the boy’s comments were “accurate”, and that they’d basically have no problem with doing the same thing themselves.
Wow. How far have we fallen?
(Cue the “you can stop preaching, who are you to judge, etc.” replies, now. Response ahead of time: FR didn’t used to be like this. Fact. Reasoned discourse and smart conservative commentary have increasingly been replaced by potty-mouthed, peanut-gallery snark which is low-grade, even for Twitter).
Yes and after Cruz scolded the child he said to the crowd “imagine if someone had done that to Donald Trump when he was that age” Cruz is despicable.
I think that Sen. Cruz did the right thing. If the parents are allowing their child to spout off like that, then the kid is going to have to learn that there is a price to be paid.
Maybe you don’t like another adult putting your kid in his place...If it is obvious by that child’s behavior that you have been derelict in your obligation as a parent for the child to know his place in a civil society, then it falls on others to do that for you. Since you have abdicated your obligation you have also surrendered the manner in which that child is put back into his place.
If you have something to say, besides “you suck” you are welcome to bring your opinion forward and have the candidate respond. But a “you suck” is juvenile and is deserving of a rejoinder that puts that child in his place. “You suck” is what I expect from leftists and their progeny and is not a constructive excersize.
He scored nothing on Trump
Ted looks petty here. If Ted truly would have been spanked for saying you suck then I understand his pathology much better now.
Trump makes fun of those comments and the crowd loves it. At trump rallies the leftist thugs are there trying to incite trouble.
Apples and steak
Precisely.
Ted has no sense of proportion. No wonder his kids run away from him
Are you kidding? If the little brat opens his big mouth in public shouting “you suck” to an elected official he deserves some public shaming. As do the parents.
I wouldn’t bother taking even myself to a Cruz event.
Trump would be accused of advocating child abuse
Not my job to teach you how to pay attention.
Your handle pretty much tells me all I need to know
I second that.
Actually Cruz said much more about his rigid up bringing.
This smells like one of Obama’s fainters
“It was also wrong for Cruz to use the incident to score a point on Trump.”.............
The kid hit a nerve and it showed exactly how thin Cruz’s skin is.
Yes I do
Why is an 11 yr old at a political rally on a school night?
Yup.
If it was my kid, I'd have torn his tail up. What he did was rude and disrespectful. I don't care who he was yelling at, or whether or not I agree with them.
Doesn’t make it right. We’re talking about an 11 yr old kid who is showing NO manners or RESPECT for his elders. The kids parents did a lousy job raising him and the kid needs to be disciplined properly.
To believe a young child has the same rights and privileges behavior wise as an adult is total insanity.
Agreed. I wouldn’t be at a Clinton/Obama/democrat rally, but if my kid went with his mom, I would expect he behave with respect regardless.
Children misbehave, parents shocked when the get in trouble.
Starts in the home!
He went and was allowed in, because he claimed he was
Trans-aged. /S
Smile a while!
