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.

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

Matt Gaetz's ex-girlfriend to cooperate with federal authorities in sex trafficking investigation

Washington (CNN) Federal authorities investigating alleged sex trafficking by GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz have secured the cooperation of the congressman's ex-girlfriend, according to people familiar with the matter. The woman, a former Capitol Hill staffer, is seen as a critical witness, as she has been linked to Gaetz as far back as the summer of 2017, a period of time that has emerged as a key window of scrutiny for investigators. She can also help investigators understand the relevance of hundreds of transactions they have obtained records of, including those involving alleged payments for sex, the sources said. News of the woman's willingness to talk, which has not been previously reported, comes just days after the Justice Department formally entered into a plea agreement with Joel Greenberg, a one-time close friend of Gaetz whose entanglement with young women first drew the congressman onto investigators' radar. CNN reported last week that investigators were pressing for the...

Biden Wants to Hire 87,000 Additional IRS Agents to Go After Wealthy Tax Dodgers

The Biden administration is proposing hiring 87,000 new workers for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), effectively doubling the agency’s size, as part of a plan to beef up enforcement efforts and find billions of dollars in tax revenues that go uncollected each year. Enforcement efforts would primarily target individuals and corporations with higher incomes and profits, the administration has suggested. The hiring, which would be part of President Joe Biden’s overall $80 billion spending plan to increase enforcement efforts at the IRS, would not happen all at once. Instead, it would be carried out in phases, with a 15 percent growth in employment at the agency per year until that 87,000 hiring benchmark is reached. The move would help recoup (and go beyond) some of the employment losses the agency has seen over the past decade, as the IRS has lost more than 33,000 workers over the past decade. The drop in employment at the agency has resulted in fewer audits, particularly for filers w...
