Ted Cruz Complains He Was Taunted At The Border And You Know What Happened Next

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) complained on Fox News on Monday that he was taunted during a photo op at the U.S.-Mexico border last week.

In the footage from the trip, Cruz pointed into the bushes near the Rio Grande and spoke of unseen smugglers on the other side.

“Just a few minutes ago there were multiple smugglers on the other side who were shining flashlights at us, who were yelling at us, who were taunting us,” he said. “Who were taunting, I think they probably assumed we were Border Patrol, but they routinely taunt the Border Patrol.”

Cruz also complained in footage he posted on his Twitter feed last week about the “taunting.”

1. So, Cruz had to wait for the reporters and heavy camera equipment to show up

and couldn't whip out his cellphone to record the flashlights and taunting in order to back up his statement?

3. Dear Sen. Cruz

You don't need to go all the way down to the border to be taunted. I could name a hundred, nay a thousand places far more convenient where you could get all the taunting you could handle, you sideshow freak.

16. At first he thought they were complimenting him.

Then he turned and asked one of the Border Patrol if "Cool Arrow" was a code name that people got when they went down to the border for photo ops. Then he had a sad.
