Ted Cruz Mocks Joe Biden the Day Before Beau Biden’s Funeral
A sordid tale told on Twitter.
“Vice President Joe Biden,” @TedCruz says to faint laughter. “You know the nice thing? You don’t need a punch line.” #JoeBiden

When I asked @tedcruz “why’d you tell a joke about the vice president tonight?” the Texas senator turned and walked away. #BeauBiden #netDE

It’s no wonder Chuck Johnson was so smitten with Ted Cruz. They’re the same species of scumbag. https://t.co/wpPUA6WjNb

It was a mistake to use an old joke about Vice President Biden during his time of grief, and I sincerely apologize: https://t.co/pkcTLcXSP7

This routine where conservative politicians say horrible things in front of the GOP base then apologize for the media is getting really old.

Does anybody think Ted Cruz didn’t know exactly what he was doing when he mocked Joe Biden today? His apology rings very, very hollow.

Expect the media to push Ted Cruz’s apology, because they need to keep the horse race going at all costs. http://t.co/1vYsZf6dTZ
