Ted Cruz made his first appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Wednesday and came out swinging.
Cruz offered his account of the recent media blitz over an interaction he had at a rally Sunday morning in New Hampshire. After stating that “the world was on fire,” a little girl in the audience reacted with concern and asked if indeed it was.
About the girl’s startled response, Cruz told the panel:
“This is blown up in the media. Every reporter has written about it.”
“It’s gotten worse and worse. It was first ‘Girl Startled.’ Then it became ‘Girl Terrified.’ By the end of it I’m Freddy Krueger torturing this girl in her nightmare.” Many outlets reported that the little girl “burst into tears” and that Cruz had “terrified” her. However, a recent interview with the girl’s mother, Michelle Trant, tells a different story. Trant claimed her daughter was not “terrified” by the incident and saw Cruz as “a hero.”
Cruz said that after the incident, he called the girl’s mother to make sure she was okay.
This responsible act seemed to have garnered far less attention in the press, which seemed to ignore the child’s playful exclamation, “he’s a fire man,” or the high five that Senator Cruz gave her at the rally.
According to a poll conducted this week by the University of Texas and Texas Tribune, Cruz leads the pack of potential Republican presidential candidates in the state of Texas.
When you have nothing, you make something out of it.
Al Gore Junior tells school children and those with childish minds that the world is on fire because of western industrialization and the media applauds him.
he should have told her that Obama’s pants are on fire while he was at it.
Its way, way past time to stop them from calling the tune.
lol
Media: Useful Idiots of the radical left.
You beat me to it. First thing I thought of was the apocalyptic stories Gore tells.
FUMSM
But we knew that. :') Go, Ted!
This story about Cruz and the little girl reminds me of something.
You know the old song “Sugar Pie, Honeybunch”? It has a line in it about “burnin’ up my heart, tearin’ it all apart”.
When my daughter was about four, that song came on the radio one day and she was horrified and asked me to turn it off. She pictured someone’s heart literally getting burned and torn up. I had to explain that this was just the singer’s way of saying he was unhappy.
Gotta love Ted Cruz - he’s not afraid to call them out for their blind idiocy
