Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) is getting roasted online after he tweeted that the American military was turning “into pansies” and was becoming “woke” and “emasculated.”

Cruz ran against former President Donald Trump in the 2018 primary election and lost. During the campaign, Trump made derogatory comments about Cruz’s wife, Heidi, but the senator still cozied up to Trump and became one of his staunchest supporters.

Related: Ted Cruz tried to defend gender reveal parties by mocking liberals. It didn’t go well.

Trump also accused Cruz’s father of assassinating former President John F. Kennedy.

The senator tweeted a TikTok video that contrasts a Russian military propaganda video with an American Army ad. The Russian video shows a shirtless, hyper-masculine soldier with a shaved head exercising, jumping out a plane, and staring down the scope of a gun.

The American ad highlights Cpl. Emma Malonelord, who was raised by lesbian moms. The Army says the ad highlights the “deeply emotional and diverse” lives of soldiers. They are meant to encourage people to join the military by undercutting preconceived notions about who would be welcome.

Holy crap. Perhaps a woke, emasculated military is not the best idea…. https://t.co/8aVFMW98NM — Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) May 20, 2021

The blowback was swift.

Cruz tried to brush off the pointed replies, claiming “lefty blue checkmarks” are “losing their minds over this tweet.” But that didn’t stop the sharp replies that pointed out his cowardice.

Despite his claims of advocating bravery, Cruz infamously fled Texas for Mexico after the worst ice storm in the state’s history, leaving his constituents in the dark without heat.

I’m enjoying lefty blue checkmarks losing their minds over this tweet, dishonestly claiming that I’m “attacking the military.” Uh, no. We have the greatest military on earth, but Dem politicians & woke media are trying to turn them into pansies. The new Dem videos are terrible. https://t.co/19pYGa8cYk — Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) May 21, 2021

LMFAO, the guy who carried the balls of the asshole who called his wife UGLY is talking about "emasculated." Maybe sit this one out, Fled Cruise. — BrooklynDad_Defiant! (@mmpadellan) May 20, 2021

Holy crap. Perhaps a U.S. Senator shouldn't suggest that the *Russian* military is better than the American military that protected him from an insurrection he helped foment? https://t.co/Ja3P78wnrv — Tammy Duckworth (@TammyDuckworth) May 20, 2021

That young soldier who you claim "emasculates" our military has more guts and strength of character on her worst day than you've ever had at your best. — Charlotte Clymer 🏳️‍🌈 (@cmclymer) May 20, 2021

The only boots Ted ever wore are what we call in Texas “Dime Store Cowboy boots”. Bought as part of a costume.

My boots started working cattle at 7 and later earned the others my 1st day at Boot Camp.

Ted’s all asshat and no cattle. (Ted’s a more pathetic version of Crenshaw) — here2eternitiOG (@Here2eternitiOG) May 20, 2021

Hello Senator Cruz, As a CEO, I can tell you that diversity and inclusion inside any organization is a huge competitive advantage. I know you may be fearful of it, but it's what we need to take us forward and solve the challenges of the future. ✌️ — Dan Price (@DanPriceSeattle) May 20, 2021

Biden says K-12 education isn't working — calls for free pre-K to "grade 14"

President Joe Biden on Wednesday praised the nation's K-12 education system for fueling America's economic growth for almost a century. But, he stressed, that system may no longer be sufficient as the foundation for future prosperity. Mr. Biden's American Families Plan is taking aim at an issue that has bedeviled economists as well as millions of families struggling to stay afloat financially: A high school diploma is no longer enough to secure a middle-class life. Under the White House proposal, the nation's K-12 system would be expanded on both ends — from free pre-kindergarten education through a "grade 14," funding two years of schooling before kindergarten and two years of post-high school education through free community college. There's plenty of economic research that links rising high school graduation rates throughout the 20th century to faster U.S. economic growth. For example, broadening education help women enter the workforce and enabled men ...

New climate envoy John Kerry sold off energy holdings to avoid conflict of interest, disclosures show

Financial disclosures released by former Secretary of State John Kerry indicate that until March of this year he held hundreds of thousands of dollars of investments in energy-related companies that may end up being affected by policies he'll help shape as President Joe Biden's new climate envoy. An ABC News analysis of his assets show that in recent years, Kerry held stakes in at least three dozen companies related to the energy industry, including firms dealing in electric, oil and gas, and nuclear energy, with shares worth between $204,000 and $960,000. Kerry had also recently held high-ranking positions within firms and entities that could end up being regulated by his climate action policies, filings show. A certificate of divestiture issued by the Office of Government Ethics on March 8 shows Kerry's plan to divest from companies that could pose a conflict of interest for his new role as U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Climate, a common measure that newly appointed...

Column: The Tucker Carlson mystery — how does his show survive without major advertisers?

It used to be that the economics of television were pretty straightforward: broadcasters sold advertising to sponsors, who were willing to pay more to hawk their wares on the highest-rated programs. The biggest shows and stars attracted the classiest advertisers — luxury car makers, popular consumer products, brokerages and banks. Things have obviously changed radically, or how else could one explain the phenomenon of Tucker Carlson? We have a moral obligation to admit the world’s poor, they tell us, even if it makes our own country poorer, and dirtier, and more divided. Tucker Carlson, 2018 Advertisement Carlson is the undisputed star of Fox News Channel. In the April Nielsen ratings he trounced all other cable news programming, with an average audience of more than 3 million viewers. His Tucker Carlson Tonight also finished first in the sought-after 25-54 age segment, averaging 523,000 viewers. Yet the advertising lineup of Carlson’s show displays virtually no class at all. Judging f...
