The fundamental inhumanity of Ted Cruz

[kpete]

Ted Cruz says so much that is noxious and unhinged that it's easy to overlook just how deranged he truly is. But this exchange with Fox "News" talking head Megyn Kelly should not get a pass:

"This is what some of your critics point to," said Kelly. "They say, yes, you've led the fight on certain issues, but what have you actually accomplished?"

Cruz reached into his bag of ready answers and insisted that gun safety legislation would have passed after Sandy Hook, if not for him. "Much of Washington was consigned," he insisted. "I did everything I could to energize and mobilize the grassroots, to stand up and protect the Second Amendment, and every single proposal of Barack Obama would undermine the Second Amendment, was voted down on the Senate floor."

The mind reels. But TBogg finds the appropriate words:

After the Sandy Hook kids were slaughtered, Ted Cruz was more worried about protecting guns

His most notable accomplishment, after 26 people — 20 of them small children — were systematically tracked down and butchered, was that he fought to make sure that guns remained cheap, plentiful, and easy to obtain in America?

Ted Cruz is a sociopath.

And he wants to be president.

And some people will vote for him. Because of it.
