Speechless. Just speechless.
Ted Cruz may be the most repugnant human being to ever sit in the US Senate.

In Beto O'Rourke's own words #TXSenateDebate
The best part is the presented-without-comment framing, as though O’Rourke had been caught denying the Holocaust or saying something so similarly outlandish that no explanation is needed for why it should offend you.
his is the second time he’s gone after the Democrat over the Botham Jean shooting, one of the most bananas cases of lethal force by a cop you’ll ever encounter. You probably know the facts by now but in case not: A white Dallas police officer came home after a 15-hour shift at work, found the door to her apartment slightly ajar, walked in and saw a man standing in the darkness. Thinking he was a burglar, she pulled her pistol, gave him “verbal commands” to freeze, then fired when he didn’t comply. He died. When she turned on the lights she realized it wasn’t her apartment at all; she had entered the unit directly above her own, which had an identical layout. The “burglar,” a black man, was in his own home, not hers.
Even the cop doesn’t claim that the victim, Botham Jean, was doing anything wrong.

Kind of underscores how ignorant Cruz is on the matter.

I can't even comment. It's too bizarre.
