A "youthful protester" yells "You suck!" at Cruz rally, then Cruz schools us all on spanking

“All right, apparently there’s a young man who’s having some problems," Cruz said, as the young heckler shouted, "You suck!"

Cruz responded, "Thank you, son."

“Children should actually speak with respect," he continued. "Imagine what a different world it would be if someone told Donald Trump that years ago.”

“You know, in my household, when a child behaves that way, they get a spanking," the Texas senator remarked, echoing similar comments he made in January in reference to Hillary Clinton, suggesting then to voters that they should "spank" the former secretary of state at the ballot box for her handling of the 2012 Benghazi attacks.
