Ted Cruz: “The fact that [Graham Platner] used repeated racist insults…”

“I mean, I mean, it's just that that's a very odd dynamic that didn't scare any of them away. The fact that he had a prior girlfriend accuse him of being emotionally verbally abusive, that didn't scare him away. The fact that [Graham Platner] used repeated racist insults, attacked African Americans, Democrats were just fine with that. The fact that he was a vicious misogynist, no problem with that at all. Now, the fact that he attacked a decorated combat veteran and he said he wished that the veteran had died, well, the Democrats were just hunky dory with that.” (04:56–05:52)
