Have some respect OP. Rafael or Edward is the correct way to address the senator. After all he doesn't believe in the use of preferred names.

Get your story straight, morons
There isn't a reputable lawyer advising the republicans. Only corrupt judges allowing them to do illegal shit.
Rule #1 Per a lawyer, shut the fuck up!
Yeah saw a clip of this.
Jesus fucking Christ it was surreal to watch Tucker "Tan your balls" Carlson and think, "fucking finally a journalist that knows not to take bullshit from Senators" in an interview.
Also, go watch the interview or at least the clip from ol' ballsunner. The MAGA rift is real and it's time to put pressure on the schism. It's the first and best shit to break that coalition in a decade.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but do you have a link to that Tucker Carlson clip
The ball tanning one?
Here is a link to an article on the ball tanning thing:
No, lol. The interview
I appreciated the ball tanning context. Well anyway, gotta go tan my balls now
To be fair, it is understandable that a tropical dingdong would jump to the wrong conclusion there.
Beautiful gif selection 👏
Well played. Golf clap 👏
The dumbest thing about it is how simple it is. Tucker's not dropping any hard-hitting deep dive questions here. Just really basic shit like where does it say the in the Bible? And painting out 'You're a Senator and you don't know anything about the place you want to bomb?' Like a random 7 year old could be doing this.
If Ted Cruz said it was sunny out, I would bring my umbrella anyway
Is he finally trying to exact revenge for Trump calling his wife ugly, and him taking that shit with a smile lying down?
You should watch the clip: https://youtu.be/91p5LwHgmgo
Whatever it is that Tucker believes, however disconnected and opaque that might be, I believe he truly believes what he believes.
Cruz however believes in nothing.
Who you gonna believe? Your lying ears or his lying mouth?
Republicans are in a constant state of lying.
Well I think Cancun Ted should go take a trip to Natanz and confirm it for us.
Tucker has been a skillful opportunist, Cuban republicans are just rotten to the core.
