Joy Reid: Ted Cruz The ‘Absolute Worst’ For Tweeting Russian Propaganda

Texas Senator Ted Cruz shared a Russian propaganda recruitment video on Twitter, using it to malign a recent commercial for the U.S. Army. Joy calls Ted Cruz the “absolute worst” for sharing that video, and for accusing the U.S. Armed Forces of being “emasculated.”

  1. Note to Joy. Now I am borrowing this from somebody else that I can’t remember but he is no longer Cancun Ted. He shall now be known as the Kremlin gremlin 🤣🤣

    1. As an independent I won’t vote Republican. I will elaborate my reasoning with details if you’re interested.

      1. they don’t care as much as Democrats about lives.
      – Florida has pass a law that made it ok to crush protesters with your car if they are blocking the streets.
      – A bill have been passed to legalize executi0ns by firing squads in south Carolina. I have no word for that.
      – There have already been more mass sh00tings this year than days. Democrats are proposing solutions while Republicans are yelling second amendment and never never proposed any solution. It’s like they don’t care about the people dying. If they do, where is their proposed solution?
      – Many of Republican think rac!sm doesn’t exist and is just invented be the media. We can literally see it with our own eyes.
      Why do you pretend it doesn’t exist ? Why don’t you do something about it ?
      – four children have tried to take their life since the anti transg3nder bills are being passed. They are trans so why should you care right ?

      2. No new policies since 40 years.
      – The only purpose of your party is “opposing the democrat” or “owning the libs”. The Democrats proposed infrastructure, HR1, statehood for dc and porto Rico, the equality act, healthcare, Bills against climate change… They have policies where are yours ? Voter restrict!on Bills ? Border wall ? There is a reason why the Republicans have win the popular vote only once since 1992.
      – Pretending to be against cançel culture while canceling coca cola and others.
      – cult personality ? Gold statue for trump ? A party belongs to one dude ?

      3. LGBT
      – Arkansas has pass a bill made specifically to stop 13 children from playing sports. The state Senate and house against 13 children.
      Do I need to tell you why is this disgusting ?
      – They took the ability for parents to decide about gender tran5itions for their own kids and give it to the state while calling themselves small government. Those decisions are supposed to be made by parents and specialists not politicians.

      4. Extremism
      – MTG threatening politician’s life ? No Republican cares because that’s their new normal.
      – Do I need to talk about January 6 and 70% of you believe in a stolen election ?
      – Do I need to talk about the fact that 23% of Republicans think Democrats politicians are peb0philes that need to be el!minated and 44% believe Bill Gates will use cov!d to put chip in people’s arms to track them like a smartphone can’t already do that ?
      – Do I need to explain why you only see the Conf3derate flags on Republican rallies ?
      – Do I need to talk about tucker promoting harassm3nt because taking a child’s parents from them will make them so much happier than wearing a mask ?
      WHY SHOULD ANYONE VOTE REPUBLICAN ?

      I made that list after seeing some Democrats struggle to say why they voted blue so they can now stand up for themselves using the list.
      You’re are free to copy past if you can.
      If you are on android this app will help you copy my comment, it’s called “Universal copy”

    2. @myko freder yes he is anti woke. Its because he believes in this thing called reality.
      Que the dumb insult that only dumb woke ppl would laugh at so you don’t have address reality yourself.

    1. @Ella Marsters he took his daughter and her friend to Cancun then came back home. His daughter. That means he’s a father. I understand that gender is hard to understand for you people but it’s not that complicated. I take my kids where they need to be. Until they turn 18. That is my job as a father

    2. @Mark W another of the big lies. Texas Governor Greg Abbott and some other politicians initially blamed renewable energy sources for the power outages, citing frozen wind turbines as an example of their unreliability. However, wind energy accounts for only 23% of Texas power output; moreover, equipment for other energy sources such as natural gas power generating facilities either freezing up or having mechanical failures were more responsible. Viral images of a helicopter de-icing a Texas wind turbine were actually an image from Sweden taken in 2015.Governor Abbott later acknowledged that every source of power, not just renewable ones, had failed. Five times more natural gas than wind power had been lost. When power was cut, it disabled some compressors that push gas through pipelines, knocking out further gas plants due to lack of supply. Also the outage, in some areas lasted more than 3 to 4 days with reportedly up 151 people dying due to the lack of power. So in short you’re lying to make yourself feel better.

  2. Holy sh*t. Cruz literally posted a Russian propaganda video. The cult will be waving Russian flags from their trucks by tomorrow

    1. Maybe giving Russia the pipeline. Is payback for Hunter Biden receiving a $3.5 million wire transfer from Russia.

    2. That “Russian” video actually came from a white supremacist group here in the US. It was all staged.

    3. @mark ashby Let me tell you Russian or American they be well cut. Where is your source of information.

  3. Ted Cancun Cruz.: Consider we in contrast the January 6th attempted a coup planners who apparently we went to great lengths to recruit the least woke, least educated and easiest mis-lead group of sheeple in ‘Murica..😁😂

    1. I don’t know if its sad or hilarious than any of you out of touch drones would call anyone sheeple.
      You ppl do nothing but believe the narrative that is spoon fed to you every day. When all you have to do is spend a week outside your media bubble to see just how much you are being lied to every day.
      So keep on making stupid insults that are funny to no one outside a nyt editorial board so you don’t have to deal with reality. Like the fact that cruz might have a point when one of our biggest adversaries has military recruitment videos of soldiers jumping out of planes, sniping in the artic while our recruitment video is some disney-esq woke infomercial of a social justice activist of lesbian parents becoming a soilder. Since the entire reason of our military existing is to fight and win wars thats a problem. Im sure you didn’t know it was roasted so badly on YouTube they disabled the comment section. None of you realize just how badly your woke brand of politics corrodes everything it touches. From star wars, to the royal family and now even our military. I pray to god this insanity will end. Otherwise we will be absolutely steamrolled by China within 20 years.
      Also The fact that you call mostly bewildered people walking through the Capitol taking selfies a coup just shows how badly you all drink the koolaid. Its sad to see so many cheering on their fellow Americans being locked up for months on end without bail for entering a Capitol building after being let in by Capitol police. Who were mostly respectful and warned others not to cause trouble. Very much unlike the months long riots that killed a few dozen and caused billions in damages. Im sure none of you criticized actual rioters but still cling to January 6th. So go ahead. Call him racist or Kremlin ted or whatever. Its tired. Its old. Pretend as joy Reid is that he is parroting Russian propaganda. That way you avoid the actual point he was trying to make and avoid any kind of real discussion. Because like EVERYTHING from the woke left if you actually had a real discussion your narrative would fall apart.

    1. @Michelle Schulte if you go back far enough everyone has said something that would be considered homophobic today… Joy is still a good person who tells it like it is…

    2. @666th PROFET I agree…I love watching her – even if she has, people change and I for one will continue to watch her…I love her show!

  4. It’s especially nice how they clipped the full video to make it sound like she was marrying her own mom. That’s how sick minded Teddy is

    1. @Wyte Hype In a war, you take what you get. The fact that you would rather die on a stupid hill rather than put your own prejudice aside makes me certain you ain’t a real soldier. It shows the same for Ted Cruz as well; the actual pansy.

    2. @Wyte Hype I could explain that a 120 pound military trained female is just as deadly with a rifle as a 300 pound trained man. Or that the rigors of military endeavors through history has shown that women can capitalize in military roles, but you are a moron and there’s no point to go in depth on it.

    3. As an independent I won’t vote Republican. I will elaborate my reasoning with details if you’re interested.

    4. @Wyte Hype The only people who even talk about being “woke” are Republicans. That’s all Tucker talks about.

    5. @Wyte Hype What’s messed up, is these people you hate, are risking their lives FOR YOU. And you mock them for it. You’re a sorry SOB.

  5. I’M GLAD THAT TED CRUZ HAS BEEN SHOWING HIS AZZ A LOT LATELY BECAUSE PEOPLE KNOW THAT HE’S ONE OF THE LAST PEOPLE ON EARTH THAT SHOULD EVER BE PRESIDENT!!💯💯✌😂

    1. You know something Snoopy snoop, I wouldn’t even have Cruz as a dog. He might give our other dogs fleas.

    2. @sheila lopez <=====Blocked Way too much significant things happening, Nothing Personal. Just clearing the mindless rubble, I see you are a new appointee. Joined May 3, 2021

    3. @Apollo Jack HE’S AN AMERICAN CITIZEN OTHERWISE HE WOULDN’T BE IN THE SENATE

    4. @Donna Wood YUP YUP BUT THEN AGAIN TEXANS AREN’T THE BRIGHTEST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD

    5. @TheBase1aransas JUST BECAUSE I HAVE A NEW PHONE DON’T LET THAT FOOL YOU FOOL & BESIDES THAT YOU’RE ALREADY ON MUTE ON THIS ONE ANYWAY

  6. The fact that his wife lets him walk out of the house with that beard is _PROOF_ she hates him, too.

    1. @TheBase1aransas they were Trump supporters. Not communists. Do you even know what communism is? Hint; It’s not really been a thing since the Soviet Union fell.

    2. @Admiral General Aladeen well, that’s not entirely true. There is actually a communist part of the US.

  8. The guy that threw his own daughters under the bus picks a fight with a girl. Seriously, are you even surprised?

  9. His real name is Rafael, he wasn’t born in the US, and his dad was Cuban. I demand to see his birth certificate

    1. ​@El R. You mean Obama? He did, years after he was elected. But do candidates have to show one to run for office? I’ve never heard a discussion about that.

    2. @Brenda Williams, according to Article II of the U.S. Constitution, the president must be a natural-born citizen of the United States.

    3. @waht True, but is that law enforced? We have lots of laws on the books currently that are not being enforced. When you apply to put your name on the ballot, do they ask you for a birth certificate? I’ve never heard the process explained in detail by the media. Their emphasis is not primarily to educate, I believe.

  10. Look at that cheesy smile. All buddy buddy with the guy that called his wife ugly and implicated his father in a murder conspiracy. Way to go Ted.
