La Porte, INTexas Sen. Ted Cruz said a kid growing up in his household would have been spanked if they acted out the way a boy did towards him Sunday during a rally. The pre-teen boy was escorted out by local law enforcement when he told Cruz during a rally, You suck.
The incident began when Cruz talked about his tax plan and heard the boys voice screaming something un-intelligible to him from the crowd.
Apparently theres a young boy whos had some problems, Cruz said. The child yelled something unknown again at Cruz but then screamed louder, You suck.
Thank you son. I appreciate you sharing your views. You know, hopefully one of the things somebody has told you is that children should actually speak with respect. Imagine what a different world it would be if someone told Donald Trump that years ago. In my household, when a child behaved that way, theyd get a spanking.

There was a time when people faced consequences for lying the way Cruz has, too.

American children should respect right wing politicians trying to destroy their futures?

Although this episode in it's entirety sort of predicts Trump.
