NEWTON, Iowa -- Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) downplayed the role anti-abortion rhetoric may have played in the fatal shooting of three people at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado and suggested the suspect was a “transgendered leftist activist" at a campaign stop in Iowa on Sunday.

Speaking with reporters following the event, Cruz rejected suggestions that the shooter was part of the anti-abortion movement, taking issue with the “vicious rhetoric on the left blaming those who are pro-life.”

Robert Lewis Dear, 57, was taken into custody Friday night after allegedly opening fire inside a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs, killing three and injuring nine others.

When a reporter reminded the Texas senator that the suspect allegedly made a comment about “baby parts” while being arrested, Cruz countered, “It’s also been reported that he was registered as an independent and a woman and transgendered leftist activist, if that’s what he is.”

Cruz is beyond loathsome and is just pure slime. He remains the most dangerous man in the GOP clown car.

1. This is hilarious!

2. It's all misdirection to distract us from the fact that Ted is a trigender undocumented alien

from planet shi't ho'le.

28. Trigender??

I thought he was a quatrasexual. He's willing to have sex for a quarter!

3. Please tell me HuffPo has a satire section.

This guy can't be that far gone can he?

[kairos12]

5. Cruz' policy prescriptions are continually rejected by the Onion.

[Contrary1]

4. I refuse to believe that Dear is a transgender leftist activist...

until Trump and Palin say it's a fact.

[Tab]

6. From the photo, I think not

not transgendered - not that it would really matter, but that takes just one more "excuse" out of the quiver.

"Leftist activist"? I submit that he is waaaaayyy to the riiiight.

23. I did see a Colorado voter listing that had him as female

I figured it was a random error, but apparently the right has seized upon it.

The url is http://www.coloradovoters.info/by_number/6010/10372_robert_lewis_dear.html but that now brings up a 404 error. Here it is at the Internet Archive, though:

They transcribe and post info from public voter rolls but they don't guarantee that their transcription is free of errors.

7. They just can't stand that this one is on their heads, can they?

Yeah, the anti-Obama literature, the "no more baby parts," the ex wife saying he was a religious conservative who opposed abortion all say he's theirs. As if his very actions didn't show he'd been radicalized by the extremist propaganda that the current Republicans running for president, including Cruz, have been propagating.

As for the transgender part, he's not, but so what if he were? I'm sure there are a few transgender Republicans out there after all.

8. Fuck off forever.

[Thinkingabout]

9. It doesn't appear Texas will have to have the contest for Asshole King,

Cruz wins.

[gratuitous]

10. As long as he's lying, he doesn't have to deal with the truth

Childish attempt at misdirection, which means it will succeed with Fox and its viewers.

[spanone]

11. NOW we're talking.....trying to out-trump trump is getting harder & harder

[malaise]

32. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah hahahahaha

Perfect

[Hekate]

12. Cruz is a breathtakingly evil fuck.

Saying what I wish for his personal fate would just get me in trouble.....

[Kath1]

13. Yes, he is a hateful human being.

And, apparently, he has gone insane.

[rusty quoin]

17. He and his dad are off the rails

[Monk06]

27. No he's not evil

He's so fucking suave/ Just ask Frank

[burrowowl]

14. Cruz

is delirious!

[DebbieCDC]

15. where does one go to register as a "transgender leftist activist"?

Just asking

[rusty quoin]

18. I remember Bill O'Reilly talking about violent lesbian feminist gangs.

They did not exists, but he still makes millions/yr.

Truth has nothing to do with anything with them.

[cui bono]

16. We know he's not being sincere. But the sad thing is idiots out there will accept it as fact

without questioning or bothering to check the facts for themselves.

[rusty quoin]

19. I thought Trump was the most dangerous in the clown car.

[DesertRat]

20. So Cruz blames transwomen for the attack on Planned Parenthood

that was inspired by his anti-woman ideology. What an asshole!

[Beartracks]

21. Is Cruz using Fox's "Some people say..." approach?

And of course, in this case, "some people" would be... Cruz.

===================

[McCamy Taylor]

22. Fox will probably put a (D) after the shooters name when they report on him.

[47of74]

24. And 47of74 says Cruz is a fucking scumbag.

[Monk06]

25. When all the facts come out he and the rest of the RW tribe will have to eat a steaming pile of

I don't know who from that clown car will get the nomination but (providing they lose big time) they're all sure to provide a hell of a lot of laughs.

Edited to add: In fairness to Cruz, I guess he was joking. But he's still a whacko. From that article:

When a reporter reminded the Texas senator that the suspect allegedly made a comment about “baby parts” while being arrested, Cruz countered, “It’s also been reported that he was registered as an independent and a woman and transgendered leftist activist, if that’s what he is.”

Dear’s voter registration, where he is listed as a woman, was uncovered by the Gateway Pundit, a self-described "right-of-center news website. We know that he was a man who was registered to vote as a woman,” Cruz said. “The media promptly wants to blame him on the pro-life moment when at this point there is very little evidence to suggest that.”

Asked if the shooting was an act of domestic terrorism, Cruz declined to draw conclusions. “I would call it a murder,” he said. “It was a multiple murder of what appears to be a deranged individual. And it was horrific, it was evil and we will find out more about the facts, but I don’t think we should jump to conclusions.” Cruz became the first GOP candidate to denounce the shooting during a campaign event in Lamoni, Iowa, Saturday. “We don’t know what those motives were, but whatever they were, it’s unacceptable, and it’s horrific and wrong,” Cruz told reporters before a town hall event.

Cruz has been a harsh critic of Planned Parenthood and has even referred to the organization as an "ongoing criminal enterprise," vowing to launch a federal investigation if he is elected president.
