Whoâs your joke writer, Ted, Earl Holt III?
¨The leader of a white supremacist group that has been linked to Dylann Roof, the suspect in the murder of nine African-Americans in a Charleston, S.C., church last week, has donated tens of thousands of dollars to Republican campaigns, including those of 2016 presidential contenders such as Ted Cruz, Rick Santorum and Rand Paul, records show.¨
(ETA: the link is to a NYT article, but props once more to The Guardian for breaking a story that the US press couldnât manage to initiate.)
Edit: I originally got the wrong name. My apologies to all the Paul Holt IIIs out there.

âMy wife, Heidi, whoâs 5â2, blonde, a petite California blonde, she was standing at the tripod unloading the full machine gun with a pink baseball cap that said âarmed and fabulous,ââ he said.
Dude, I know you have, shall we say, âissuesâ with your geography, state, country and all, but if your wife lives with you in Texas I can assure you she is no longer a California blonde.

Ted Cruz represents many American citizens, granted they are republicans but to the outside world Ted Cruz represents many American citizens. He cannot represent Canadians, the real country in which he was born. Why is it so easy for him to represent the republican party in America?

He canât represent Canada because they have a Constitutional Queen and have no need for one of the Drama variety.

Maybe he canât represent Canada because most Canadians are ââfair and balancedââ ode to Fox.

Ted, you are just totally tone deaf. Your timing is absolutely awful. Your insensitivity legendary.

Since they will give up when the next big thing happens, I agree with with Cruz, elected Democrats shouldnât be exploiting the Charleston shooting. Without followup all Democrats are doing is shameful pandering.
Even worse on the inside.

Ted Cruz is tone deaf, lacks, inappropriate, perversely self-righteous, and delusional. That would add up to âunfit for any elective office.â

What a turd is Tailgunner Ted! His droll remarks are typical of his asshat politics: make a crude, badly-timed joke (e.g., Joe Biden) & when called on it, issue an insipid apology. He knew damned good & well when he issued the Biden remark, that it was in EXTREMELY bad taste, but would get a rise from his sycophants & fellow Teabaggers! What maroons!

Have you Republicans no shame Ted? Youâve been exploiting the Benghazi tragedy for political gain before the bodies were even cold since September 11, 2012. Now, you Republicans are trying to capitalize politically on the Charleston massacre while campaigning? Glad you can admit the massacre was racially driven. Now, if you could only admit how much Republicans like you have become so ideology driven that youâve become mentally robotic. You no longer think about the words you say. Well, it is a positive step that after grandstanding on top of the same 4 headstones for more than 33 months, you are finally moving on. Unfortunately, youâre moving on to 9 fresh headstones. A gun in the hands of an racist right ideologue slaughtered those people during a bible study. Itâs not wrong to look at ways to prevent another tragedy via some reasonable gun control.
