Democrat Eviscerates Ted Cruz

Read more here:

"Sen. Michael Bennet, a Colorado Democrat normally known for his reserved demeanor, lashed out at Republicans -- namely Sen. Ted Cruz -- over the partial government shutdown on the Senate floor Thursday.

"These crocodile tears that the senator from Texas is crying for first responders are too hard for me to take," Bennet said, responding to remarks made by Cruz.
Bennet noted that he "seldom" takes the floor to contradict a member because of his efforts to work in a bipartisan manner.
However, Bennet recalled when Cruz previously helped shut down the government. Cruz in 2013 notably worked to protest the Affordable Care Act, and in turn inspired votes that shut down the government for 16 days.
"When the senator from Texas shut this government down in 2013, my state was flooded. It was under water. People were killed. People's houses were destroyed. Their small businesses were destroyed, forever. And because of the senator from Texas, this government was shut down, for politics," Bennet shouted.

I would say that Bennett took Ted Cruz's manhood, but that would suggest Cruz had one to begin with.

repubs have short memories. remember "i will be proud to shut the government down i will own it i wont blame democrats"

Michael Bennet is amazing. I’m from Colorado and he has done so many great things for the state.

*⚠️Viewer discretion advised⚠️* This video contains scenes of Ted Cruz's beard that some viewers may find disturbing.

I am from Colorado and have lived here for my whole 44 years of life, Michael Bennet was speaking with a lot of emotion.

I sincerely like to thank Ted Cruz for growing that beard. Now I can tell where his face ends and his neck begins.

[NLGriffin]

That actually was Ted's evil twin Ned Cruz. The problem is they have the exact same policies. They're both evil twins.

[DarthKieduss]

Bennett handed Cruz his ass! I've never heard of Bennett but color me impressed.

[jawadad]

that's not a hipster beard...thats a confederate general beard...in Teds defense, anything covering up part of his face is a win for the rest of us.

[fairdose]

Did we just have a "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" moment? For reals?

[joe]

Senator michael bennet used incinerate... Its super effective.

[sbz]

I laughed when he brought up how Ted Cruz came in 2nd in the Iowa caucuses 😂😂😂😂. Aw snap

[oscart]

Even Senator Bennet is getting tired of the fuckery .

[blackbutterfly]

His state continues to vote him in Even though he does nothing for them .

I am still flabbergasted by the fact that there are actual living human beings that see ted cruz being a terrible person who stands on the wrong side of every argument ever and has not spine at all and then still vote for him.

[mzgreendayfan]

Goddamn. Someone with actual human emotions. Its a beautiful sight.

[Hooyahfish]

Damn. If government was more like that, I would actually watch c-span.

Many people view Coloradans as chill it a fair assumption if you never pissed one of us off; Colorado been the punching bag of the government during Trumps presidency; Cory Gardener and Michael Bennett has been fighting tooth and nail to protect Colorado after their donors.

First Mike Pence screws with the way the weed law works disrupting Colorado legalization of it then Trump messes with the land laws making it hard to preserve natural landscape of Colorado great location like the great sand dunes or garden of the gods.

Ted Cruz was rude to Colorado now that he seen us pissed off I am sure he knows to fear us because when we are not nice we are scary.

Some men grow beards to cover up what they actually look like, I know, because I do this myself to some degree. Without my facial hair, I look a bit like Heinrich Himmler. Similarly, if Ted Cruz didn't have that beard, he'd look like Ted Cruz.

[MsMdip]

I think he grew the beard to stop looking like that weird floppy fish everyone compares him to.
