Ted Cruz visibly dozed off during Biden speech; right-wing pundit claims he was "praying"

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, the onetime Donald Trump foe turned MAGA loyalist, appeared to doze off during President Joe Biden's joint speech to Congress on Wednesday night, at one point closing his eyes completely. That didn't stop the controversial Cancún frequent-flyer senator from offering opinions on Fox News about how the president's address missed the mark.

Cruz was caught by a roaming camera in the House chamber during one part of the speech, closing his eyes and appearing to struggle to keep them open. Speaking about immigration reform, Biden said, "If you actually want to solve a problem, I've sent a bill to take a close look at it," before a camera panned to Cruz, closing his eyes about an hour into the speech.

Responding to the moment caught on camera, Cruz tweeted, "#BoringButRadical."

Following the Biden address, the Texas senator said on Fox News, "The speech by design was calm and dulcet tones. I challenge you to remember a single line from the speech. It was monotone; the chamber was nearly empty."

11. Where I worked guys used to tell the supervisor that

"Madame Speaker, Madame Vice President,
"No president has ever said that before, ever."

6. Oh, please. This is just more GOP performance art.

He wasn't dozing off. He was pretending to doze off. It fits right in with their media narrative that the speech was boring, and with the "Sleepy Joe" bullshit. They're all full of shit.

12. I would like to see this turned around on him: Cruz should be labeled as Tuckered Out Ted.

9. ted cruz...asleep on the job as usual. And he wants to be president someday? Yeah, sure...

10. Pure Performance, it was patently obvious last night. I saw that, I knew what he was doing.

surely everyone else knew it the instant he closed his eyes like that?

amirite?

[Uncle Joe]

17. You are right msfiddlestix. I have no doubt Cruz was faking it

just to promote Trump's narrative against President Biden.

Trump likes it when "Lying Ted" rolls around in his own feces.

13. "He isn't snoring! He's speaking in tongues!"

[nuxvomica]

14. Based on the picture, he was praying with rapid eye movements

Looks like he was deep into prayer.
