100% a slip of the tongue (or he said it, but didn't mean what it sounded like he meant.) Even I wouldn't accuse Ted Cruz of publicly defending pedos. But there is a bitter irony to his use of this phrase in the midst of Republican Congresspeople bending over backwards to stop the release of the Epstein files.

I think he meant to say President Trump, and the internal label he uses for Trump came out.
