Veteran rocker Pat Benatar has been trending on Twitter in the last 24 hours, thanks to Senator Ted Cruz.
Cruz sat down for an interview yesterday with Texas’s Joe “Pags” Pagliarulo. Cruz, 52, tried to explain why President Joe Biden was protected by the Democratic Senate Majority. He claimed Democrats are so loyal to Biden, they would forgive him anything. Even singing the Satanic-themed rock of Pat Benatar.
“I don’t think Senate Democrats, if you had video of Joe Biden murdering children dressed as the devil under a full moon while singing Pat Benatar, they still wouldn’t vote to convict.”

Cruz seemed happy with the hypothetical scenario and was happy to retweet the clip on his own Twitter timeline.

Given the slavish devotion of some right-wing Republicans to the twice-impeached, twice-indicted former ex-president, attacking Democrats for showing loyalty to the President seems rather rich. However, online, many mocked Cruz for using Pat Benatar’s music as an example of something contemptible or beyond reproach.
Trump said he could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot someone and wouldn't lose any voters.
He could also be impeached and indicted twice, insult Ted Cruz’s wife and accuse Cruz’s dad of murder, and Ted would still get down and lick his boots.pic.twitter.com/uEPwL9e5Oihttps://t.co/TKjmI2YaQv
Some Republicans are trying to push the conspiracy that President Joe Biden and his family were part of a corruption scheme linked to a Ukrainian oligarch. They point to an unnamed FBI informant as the source of this claim.
Biden has dismissed the allegations as “malarkey”. Republicans have yet to have produced any evidence to back up their story and state department and intelligence officials have repeatedly debunked the claims. The FBI and a US attorney appointed by Donald Trump investigated the allegations in 2020 and found them to be unsubstantiated.
At the time of writing, Pat Benatar has not responded to Cruz including her in his devil-worshiping, child-killing fantasy scenario.
Cruz says Bud Light enlisted Mulvaney to market its product towards underage kids.

He’s confused about the insane stupidity of Trump supporters who would let Don shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and the law and order Democrats who do things by the book.
dbmcvey, Nice to see you’re still spreading misinformation. Are you upset that Josh Hawley got Deputy FBI Director Paul Abbate to admit they have a document alleging Biden Took $5 Million In Bribes.
It’s not misinformation Shavey. You said on a previous post that he was an ally, if an imperfect one. Also, you shill for anti-gay politicians on this site all the tiem.
So, Abbate says this but now says he has no idea whether this evidence exists. He did not say they have evidence of this bribe, that’s just your Republican wishful thinking. You need to stop getting your information from Youtube.
Or, it could be that he/we/most everyone has run out of steam trying to deal with you. Do you think it might be possible that you could just shut up for year and go play some place else? Stop trying, ShaverS. Your contributions are so annoying.
Also, Republicans are now saying they don’t know that the tape (which is what it was actually about) even exists. It’s more “I have a letter” McCarthyism.
I saw Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo in concert last year and they were fantastic. Little Pat can still belt them out just like the old days. Ted Cruz, who I consider one of the most unlikable people in the US, can suck go suck a dick.
For years I’ve been saying that trump could rape a three-year old on one of his rally stages and his supporters would proudly chant, “THE KID WAS ASKING FOR IT!”.
Of course, trump would deny it, and then tell his supporters, who witnessed the whole thing, “I DIDN’T RAPE THAT KID! HE WASN’T EVEN MY TYPE!”
Oh god and don’t get us started on all the inbreds at his rally. And they think the POS loves them. He despises them, he knows they are gross and dumb as rocks. But still they come.
Cruz will say anything that he thinks will keep him ¨relevant¨. Pathetic and laughable. Every time Queerty reports on this Cuban Canadian carpetbagger, I´m reminded that
I do not like that Senator Cruz
I do not like his far right views
I do not like his stupid chin
I do not like his smarmy grin
I do not like him with a beard
I do not like him freshly sheared
I do not like what he just said
I do not like his boxy head
I do not like him wearing glasses
I do not like him greeting kids in classes
I do not like his stupid suits
I do not like his cowboy boots
I do not like him when he sneezes
I do not like him eating cheeses
I do not like him in the leaves
I do not like him when he feeds
I do not like him by a wall
I do not like his tattoo at all
I do not like him in a room
I do not like him in Cancun
I do not like him playing ball
I do not like his face at all

But Shaver says he’s an ally.

dmcvey, That’s a typical tactic of people like you, lie, but remain wrong and strong. Just shows you can’t argue based on facts.
abfab
Or, it could be that he/we/most everyone has run out of steam trying to deal with you. Do you think it might be possible that you could just shut up for year and go play some place else? Stop trying, ShaverS. Your contributions are so annoying.
dbmcvey
No. I’m right. You’ve done everything I say.
Also, Republicans are now saying they don’t know that the tape (which is what it was actually about) even exists. It’s more “I have a letter” McCarthyism.

They’re awesome!
What a weird thing for Cruz to say (not that that’s unusual), why not Black Sabbath or ACDC?
abfab
Because Ted is a nerd.

@Abfab, slight correction: “Because Ted is a turd.”

He’s an absurd nurd turd.
