BREAKING🚨🏳️‍🌈 Ted Cruz just blamed tight Senate races on trans people, calling the voters fired up against Trump "left-wing transgender witches." On Saturday in Fairbanks, Alaska, sitting next to Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan, Ted Cruz told Fox News that "there are 8-10 Senate races that are tied or within the margin of error." He said Republicans could lose five to eight seats and leave Democrats with 55, which he called "a disaster." Then he explained who was showing up to vote against them. "Right now, if you're a left-wing transgender witch, you hate Donald Trump, and you're gonna show up," Cruz said. "You're energized." The voters he wants are "common-sense Americans who are not lunatics, who don't think communism and Islamism are a good idea." If those "regular, ordinary Americans" turn out, Cruz said, Sullivan wins and Republicans pick up seats "all over the country." Sullivan nodded along the entire time. Sullivan is trailing Democrat Mary Peltola 48.5% to 46.2% in a recent poll. He has signed Republican letters opposing protections for transgender athletes and attacking gender-affirming care for minors. Cruz and Sullivan spent the rest of the interview distancing themselves from Trump's decision to import diesel fuel from Russia, which both senators oppose. Online, people mocked Cruz relentlessly. "I'm not a transgender witch and I also hate Donald Trump," one reply read. 🚨Before you go… Congress is about to vote to ALLOW animals to be kept in spaces so small they can’t even turn around, even after voters banned it.
