Texas Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) has come under fire for using an anti-gay slur to attack a US Army ad, claiming that the Democrats and the media are turning the military into “pansies”.
Angry veterans fired back at Cruz after he retweeted a video juxtaposing a macho recruiting video for the Russian Army with a video of a real-life daughter of two mothers becoming a US Army corporal.
Cruz tweeted: “Holy crap. Perhaps a woke, emasculated military is not the best idea….” Cruz continued his criticism of the US Army ad, tweeting: “I’m enjoying lefty blue checkmarks losing their minds over this tweet, dishonestly claiming that I’m ‘attacking the military.’ Uh, no.
