Ted Cruz Frightens 3-Year-Old Girl: ‘Your World Is on Fire!’
Lovely. Here’s video of Ted Cruz speaking in New Hampshire, spouting crazy apocalyptic rhetoric about the coming destruction of America and shouting, “The world is on fire!” — scaring a three-year old girl who timidly asks, “The whole world is on fire?”
To which Cruz replies, “The world is on fire, yes! [laughs] Your whole world is on fire! But you know what, your mommy’s here and everyone’s here to make sure that the world you grow up in is even better!”
Even better than being on fire? Hard to imagine that.
This is how Cruz’s crazy talk is being defended by right wing bloggers:
…the only thing distinguishing Cruz’s line from something you or your three-year-old might hear in a stock Democratic speech about climate change is the hopeful note Cruz sounds at the end. Hopenchange will come and go but melting glaciers are forever. Put away the jumprope and start thinking about boat designs, Janie.
The difference, of course, is that climate change is a very real threat, not a loony right wing fantasy about Obama destroying America.
