Remember when, during his failed bid for the presidency, Ted Cruz tried to sell himself as a normal, relatable human by whipping out his godawful Simpsons impressions?
Well, the bloviating Texas Senator is at again, trying to ruin more cartoons for you.As shared by The Recount, Cruz used a recent live taping of his podcast, Verdict With Ted Cruz, to whine about Disney’s (too little, too late) condemnation of Florida’s dangerous “Don’t Say Gay” bill.After a few lapses in logic, the anti-LGBTQ senator brainlessly asserted that Disney wants to have “Mickey and Pluto going at it” in “every episode.” Every episode of what?
What is this man even talking about?Even with the full context of the clip, his argument is bunk, but you can hear the nonsense for yourself below:Sen.
Ted Cruz (R-TX) slams Disney for opposing Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” law:“In every episode now, they’re gonna have Mickey and Pluto going at it … You can always shift to Cinemax if you want that.” pic.twitter.com/iZX82OiyC2— The Recount (@therecount) April 19, 2022When his co-host Michael Knowles jokes, “Thank you for that image, Senator,” one has to wonder just how long the thought of Mickey and Pluto boning has been rattling around in Cruz’s head to begin with.And is it even worth it to get into that fact that, in the world of these characters, Mickey is a talking, anthropomorphized mouse, while Pluto is his pet dog?
