Discussion: Ted Cruz Stands Up To Facebook For Chick-fil-A, Diamond And Silk

He has only been re-elected once and the reason was we had a black president. He isn’t going to make it again.

Uh, Texas ®. Maybe Beto O’Rourke will finally rid us of Ted so that he can crawl back under the slimy rock from whence he came, but I am not holding my breath. Because still Texas.

He has won exactly one single election, for the seat vacated by Kay Bailey Hutchinson.

It was a special election, in which the turnout was a dismal 600,000 or so.
He’s never really won a contested statewide election.

Beto O’Rourke represents a serious threat to Cruz’ Senate career, which has been marked by his unflinching stupidity and his mealy-mouthed whining.

He looks a lot older.
That’s always a plus.

How will they ever get their message out with only Fox News, Sinclair media, the WSJ, NY Post, almost all of talk radio, the NRA network and billions of dollars in right wing Super-PACs…oh, and millions of Russian bots. Maybe Cruz would be better served asking about that…an actual threat to our democracy.

Q. Who are Ted Cruz and Mark Zuckerberg?

Um, why would Facebook, or any private corporation for that matter, have any obligation to protect the free-speech of customers? If you don’t like it…what is it conservative’s are always saying? …Oh yes, you get get out of my country. That sounds like something they could agree with.

“In addition to that,” Cruz continued, “Facebook has initially shut down the Chick-fil-A appreciation day page, has blocked a post of a Fox News reporter, has blocked over two dozen Catholic pages and most recently blocked Trump supporters Diamond and Silk’s page, with 1.2 million Facebook followers, after determining their content and brand were, quote, ‘unsafe to the community.’ To a great many Americans that appears to be a pervasive pattern of political bias.”

WTF??? It’s politically biased to be concerned with threats to the community?

Never been to a Chick-fil-A. People say the chicken’s great.
My guess it’s likely saturated with high fructose corn syrup - the secret ingredient of American cuisine.

I’m sure Mark Z would have loved to tell Ted to shove it; that he is not obligated to be politically correct…FB, like it or not, is no different than Faux News or whomever.

Seems to me that Ted is putting truth (his version) that FaceBook cannot be maintained successfully despite all the technical posturings of its CEO.

So I guess we have to shutdown Face Book as a danger to the people and the country. Fine with me. Along with banning AR-15s.

Damn. Everybody keeps talking about the Catholic pages and whoever the Gems and Fabric bunch are, and nobody is saying anything about there existing a Chick-Fil-A appreciation day page. I can’t imagine what a treat that must offer. This isn’t a question, I don’t really care to know, it just struck me funny that I’m apparently the only one who saw that and said, “What?!”

Hey Ted, wasn’t there something called The Fairness Doctrine that got kaboshed during the Reagan administration.

Surely good republicans (I know oxymoron) revere the right of private businesses (after all they’re people my friends) to express their religious and or political sentiments without interference from the big bad government. Look at fox so called news or SINclair mediocre - no problems with any of that. Certainly the esteemed senator does not want to be thought of as a hypocrite (even though he surely is one).

It only seems like he’s been there long enough to have been re-elected. Hopefully your statement is not a prediction. :wink:
