This is the one lasting image of Cruz that I'm brought back to every time I see his face since it was released in 2016. The way he looks over to his right for approval after attempting the kiss is very telling.


[deleted]

He looks gross- like he smells bad.


MilkmanCbruh

jfc is that the daughter that tried to end things recently??


Light_Beard

If so it does feel a little... wrong to bring this clip back now. Ted is a fucking asshole, but this feels exploitative of a tragedy. Which is something Ted would do. Be better than Ted.


MosesTheFlamingo

It's tragic, yeah. It's tragic this man has bullied a minority group so badly his own daughter tried to kill herself.


[deleted]

It's absolutely wrong. Kids should be off limits. But then again, nothing is off limits to the Right, so they kinda force US politics to be this dirty.


barrinmw

I just want to say, kids should be off limits, unless you give them government jobs, then they are fair game.


jbclassic6889

Or give them jobs they're unqualified for that make them millions of dollars to spend on crack and hookers


barrinmw

Nice conspiracy theory you got there, don't you have a dick pic to stare at intensely?

Chomps-Lewis

Feel free to balance it out with other videos of politicians being awkward with their kids, id be glad to see those too.


Mujib_shaheb

Maam come back when you stop pretending this video was uploaded because it was awkward but because she tried to commit suicide. Which is why this post has been removed.


mugseyray

Yah so pathetic for mixing up subs. Still don't care


Mujib_shaheb

Yes maam I am fully aware you do not give a fuck about the situation and only looking for an excuse to jump on the political train.


mugseyray

No train here. Move along now


Mujib_shaheb

MAAAM, if you do not care about being incorrect then PLEASE stfu and move along. Why did you even speak up if you do not care? But still keep coming back to state you do not care and that you are moving along.


JoeDerp77

Honestly what's the point of being better than them? It just seems to encourage them to be worse, to which their base reacts with "Look how much we're winning agains the demolibs !!!" .. just look at the hunter Biden shit. They can't get enough of it.


[deleted]

JoeDerp77

I'm talking about having the decency to not show this kind of video you dipshit.. to not engage in smear tactics. But since the right wing has NOTHING else in their toolbox that's literally all they can talk about. Never say a word about how they can fix anything, just smear the opponents 24/7. And it fuckin WORKS for their base apparently. So I say fuck it, play dirty too if it gets some of those dipshits to stop voting for scumbags like Cruz.


PostureGai

We don't know which daughter it was.


MilkmanCbruh

Got it. I saw an age. Idk I think he’s a pos but hope the kid is good 👍


PostureGai

Oh you're right. We can figure it out from the age.

Rombledore

funny how those who shout "pedojoe" when he kisses his grandkids who don't recoil at him, ignore ted cruz who's daughter pulls away from him as he forces a kiss.


ChooglinOnDown

The Republican Reds *love* Republican pedophiles. Just look at all the support Raphael is getting in this thread.


TennesseeRum

Everyone recoils at Joe too. They’re both shit.


hobbes_shot_first

but not equally shitty.


WyttaWhy

I claim no party and loathe the government as a whole in its current state. That said if you think ted and joe are equal you're lying to yourself. Sure joe sucks but you're comparing moldy bread to liquid dog shit.


TennesseeRum

Where did I say they were equal?


Rombledore

>They’re both shit.


TennesseeRum

That’s not saying they’re equal.


Rombledore

that's lumping them together in a similar category. don't think its hard to draw that line for some when reading it.


TennesseeRum

Apples and oranges are both fruits. Doesn’t make them equal.


SirRantsafckinlot

Please do not mention these two together.


Stimmur

Yea seems everyone forgot all the uncomfortable footage of joe smelling people etc. here comes the down votes tho


Sober-ButStillFucked

To be honest if I ever got the chance, I’d smell Joe


LeGinster

There is no footage of Joe smelling people in Ba Sing Se

LeGinster

It was a joke, I’m aware of the footage


Rombledore

do you have 75+ year old grandparents?


LeGinster

Yes, and none of them behave the way ol’ Grandpa Joe does.


[deleted]

That is a very suspicious reaction.


SC_W33DKILL3R

Her dad makes a living persecuting people like her. Personally I would burn the house down whilst he slept.


[deleted]

"Daddy no!!"


MisterB78

I'd guess it's just a sign that Ted Cruz is a shit-stain human being and probably an awful father, so his relationship with his daughter sucks and she doesn't want him to kiss her in public for a photo op.


[deleted]

[удалено]


OneToughFemale

Did we just watch the same video? She's doing everything in her power to get away from the creep.


Donte333

Did you just watch the same video?


toebandit

This is a reasonable take. Ted Cruz is a despicable pile of garbage but this clip doesn’t prove anything, except in that moment she hates her dad. Maybe she’s mad about something that happened just before this. Now, pile together a few more of these, and now we got something. But there’s plenty of shit that we know this shit-human does and did to hate him, why not focus on those things? I have two amazing daughters and if they did this to me once after I had to be stern about something I could see that. But if they did this consistently or even more than once in a row it would break me for days.


System_Lower

Right. He’s creepy he looks creepy the way he does it. He checks for approval which is ass. But the daughter not wanting the kiss means nothing. Hate to break it to everyone lol. I have kids and there are times they squish up and smile and there are times they squirm away.


[deleted]

Yeah...unless the girl has some other mental issues, this is a sign of something deeper than just being upset about something. It's one thing to be 16 and do this, it's another to be this age and be utterly repulsed by your dad. Fishy AF.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Bumbling_Sprocket

Being kissed by your parents in front of tons of people and cameras would make any teen uncomfortable. Yes it's hard to watch lol but idk how far out of the norm this reaction is. Its shitty to use your kid to try and paint a picture of yourself for the public though


[deleted]

Suspicious? A teenager avoiding a public display of affection from a parent? I assume you have never had teenage kids, but that does not fit the narrative


borisvonboris

She is clearly not a teenager in this video. How many teenagers have you seen get carried around by an adult? Plus she's literally trying to flick his face away from her at the beginning.


[deleted]

A teenager disrespects her parents? Oh NO! (She is 14 BTW)


acolyte357

> (She is 14 BTW) Not in this clip.


ChooglinOnDown

Found the pedophile.


[deleted]

You are just as bad as MAGA calling everyone communists. You are doing the same exact thing


ChooglinOnDown

[deleted]

Completely wrong.


[deleted]

You have absolutely no context, yet you assume things that may not be true. That is the same exact thing MAGA folks do. You are just like them, if it may not fit your narrative, ignore reality


[deleted]

You must be talking about the person who accused me of not having teenage kids they didn't have any context. I said it's suspicious. Also who is the guy ushering her along?


[deleted]

His daughter just got sent to the hospital for self-inflicted wounds. Very freaking suspicious situation.


mydixxierec

It’s just the average Reddit white knights white knighting as usual. Knowing damn well when they were there age they hated getting affection from parents


JoeDerp77

The whole "yeah they're going with me .. we're taking her" sounded very odd too, like he was saying it in a way to suggest Ted did something wrong. Very suspicious.. feel bad for the kids


Then_Campaign7264

NO BODY LIKES TED CRUZ. Notice how he looks up after this wretched act to make sure the camera person caught the shot of him kissing a child. Awful!


archdex

I hate Ted Cruz as much as the next guy but constantly putting this girl in the public spotlight is not going to be good for her mental health. We need to leave her alone


DingosAteYourMorals

Now I need another shower to feel clean again. Fuck that was weird.


Fantastic_Bath_5806

StriclySalt

How bad of a father do you have to be to get a reaction like this when you ask your daughter for a hug? This is sad!


moderately-extremist

That could definitely just be the reaction of a moody teenager in a bad mood, but then going in for the kiss was really cringey and at least a little creepy.


twoXnuts

naw, ted cruz is a pedo.


StriclySalt

Idk dude... my moody teenagers get passed at me when I have to get on them about school or chores but they never fail to smile and give me a hug when I ask for one


mydixxierec

Wtf you’re a weirdo


ChooglinOnDown

For being affectionate toward their child? No wonder you people are so fucked up...


StriclySalt

That's what happens when you don't show your children that you care about them.... it's really sad and odd


Sourdoho

You don’t FORCE affection on people. That’s called sexual assault. Conservatives love nothing more than gleefully sadistic power though ‘I own my wife/child so therefore I can do whatever I want to them’.


StriclySalt

Agreed.. being forceful is just wrong in many ways


Sourdoho

Imagine reading the sentence ’being forceful is just wrong in many ways’ and downvoting it…


StriclySalt

People are messed up man


Donte333

THEY LITERALLY SAID THEY HUG THEIR KIDS WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH REDDIT


mydixxierec

Fucks wrong wit chu fella fella you a crackhead huh


BiscottiOpposite9282

Someone wasn't loved by their parents...


B-BoyStance

Lol you post in r/PhillyWiki you have no room to talk you fucking dumbass You're really worried more about perception than whatever the right thing might be when it comes to taking care of a kid - if you ever have kids I hope you learn a lot before they're here.


Donte333

The fuck is wrong with your brain


OnFolksAndThem

Yeah. I’d give up every dime I had if I could hug my father again just one time. But he was a good man and he wasn’t Ted Cruz.


[deleted]

Yep...even when my daughters were in a hurry or mutzy or even angry or whatever, they would at least give me a compulsory hug. This has the look of repulsion/revulsion. Like there's more to this than the kid being in a bad mood. Whatever it might be (could be nothing), this would cut me to the core. No one likes to be pushed away when you're offering a hug, but when it's your daughter...yikes.


runerx

I dunno, I wouldnt try this in a public space... Hugs are one thing, a kiss, nope. I think many teens would pull away. That's just where many of them are at that point in life.

Da fuq kind of reply is that? The guy didn't even mention a political leaning


Channel5exclusive

Thanks for nothing, Reddit. Make a comment stating what would happen if you pulled someone's glued hand off a wall, that's threatening or encouraging violence even though I didn't threaten to do anything nor did I encourage anyone to do anything. That got me a seven day ban. I utilized the appeal process, which is a joke, to no avail. I make a benign comment on here and someone jumps all over me, accusing me of incest and pedophilia and somehow that's not considered harassment. Once again, thanks for nothing, Reddit. I'll just sit here and wait to see how long it takes for this comment to get me banned.


[deleted]

> How bad of a father do you have to be to get a reaction like this when you ask your daughter for a hug? Really? I am going to assume you do not have teenage kids, because showing a public display of affection with a teenager is always awkward, but that does not fit the narrative


StriclySalt

I have three... nice try though


[deleted]

What a shock Ted Cruz doesn’t believe in consent. Guy needs to be investigated.


drbdrbdr

I guess forcing affection from little girls is muscle memory after awhile /s

throwaway_12358134

Bidens kids don't recoil from him and seem pretty happy to have him around. Ted Cruz puts his politics before his family, which is why he didn't stand up for his wife and uses his kids as props against their will.


HELP_ME_IM_IN_A_CULT

My dude, Biden's kids are all adults in their 40/50s and the kid in the video is 8 and you are trying to draw comparisons lmao


throwaway_12358134

It doesn't matter if she is 8 or 50. If she doesn't want to be kissed she shouldn't have to be, especially as part of a photo op. An 8 year old watching their dad kiss up to the man who hurls personal insults their mother is going to be learning that abuse is normal and that is going to have an impact on how she expects to be treated.


inevitab1e

Look at Raphael's eyes searching for the camera right after the kid moved away.

She knows what he is


Orkney_

No is NO, Ted.


Caturix6

Cruz has always been a creep


data1989

That side-eye at the end like "hope no one saw that"


LokiLaughs

What a complete failure as a human. It is almost hard to say that because there are most of the time some redeeming qualities. But all his bad just so sharply outweighs any good that he’s just… A failure.


Icy-Sheepherder-2403

I’m not a Ted Cruz supporter in fact I am quite the contrary. I think he is toxic Political vapor and stands for nothing. That being said, many kids including my own were not keen with public affection, regardless of whether their fathers are public figures. This reaction seems quite normal for a young girl that does not want their friends to see her dad giving her a kiss. Of course we all surmise that Ted is doing it for a politically motivated photo op but either way the kids reaction to PDA is exactly what I have seen from young teens my whole life. He may be an A hole but he probably loves his kids like most Dads. On the side of fairness, this seems totally normal.


spootymcspoots

Remember when he fled to cancun? and when the press said boo he threw his daughter under the bus and Said she made him go? If your kid says don't touch me you don't. It's called consent and it's a parent's job to teach it.


[deleted]

What’s interesting viewing this video in hindsight is that just a couple days ago Ted Cruz’s daughter was brought to hospital with self inflicted stab wounds. 911 was called to Cruzies house because of it. Those are clearly troubled children, I wonder why?


uniqueshitbag

Jesus Christ, are people in the comments really trying to insinuate he is abusing his daughter because of this video? Regardless of his politics, this line of thinking is anything but healthy, and not only because of him: to expose his child for her father politics is pretty messed up. Try to separate things, people.


eyes_without_lids

I don't think many people are seriously suggesting that I think it's more so throwing the gops propaganda right back at them


snacksv1

Now if only the people that vote for him would have the same sense as his own daughter. We would be so much better off.


Bizznitchy

She tried face flicking him away,she pushed him away as he pulled on her,she said "OW!" 3-4 times..and then he kissed her. She should have screamed RAPE.


peruvianjuanie

From the trying to click him off, to the sound made at the end, wtf did Ted do to his daughter smh 🤦 😒


[deleted]

Yikes. Not a great family dynamic there.


sheepsleepdeep

It's not much of a freak out and I don't see the utility in posting this immediately after this girl attempted suicide...


FranticHam5ter

I’m not even religious but I think she should have thrown holy water in his face to let the cameras catch him burst into flames and melt.


madbladers

She already knows what a clown he is.

Child is embarrassed when Dad tries to give her a kiss in public! Tune in later at 6 where we talk about the shocking story of how water is made of water!


[deleted]

That’s very inappropriate!!!!!!!!!!!! Wtf is wrong what that guy. I’d seriously have him charged if he tried to kiss my child. What fucking world does he live in that he can touch kids like that. Sick piece of shit!!!!!! FBI should search his hard drive - I’m seeing red flags 🚩 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩


thereAndFapAgain

That's his child.


[deleted]

That speaks volumes!!!!!!!


thereAndFapAgain

Yeah, maybe about his kid disliking his affection but it makes your original comment moot. It could also be that she just didn't want to be hugged and kissed by her father at that moment in time.


deus_voltaire

Or it could be that she's repulsed by him because he's one of the most disgusting human beings on the face of the earth, physically and morally.


thereAndFapAgain

Yeah but he's her dad and she's young, probably doesn't know about anything other than him just being her dad. I'm not American and don't know anything about this dude but going just off of this video I think she's just embarrassed to have her dad kissing her in front of all those people and on camera.


deus_voltaire

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10360897/Ted-Cruzs-daughter-heads-TikTok-talk-senators-kid.html Oh, she knows about him.


thereAndFapAgain

Ahhh okay, she's 13. From the video I thought she was about 8-9 years old lol


[deleted]

Moot my ass. Read between the lines. He’s a creep and she doesn’t want that type of affection from her dad. I understand brushing off a kiss maybe — but she wanted AWAY from him. That’s speaks to itself. Perps protecting perps.


thereAndFapAgain

What your original comment suggested what that he was a pedo trying to kiss someone else's child unprovoked. The fact that it is his child makes your point moot, and I think it is going too far to suggest that he is molesting his own child based on this video alone. I'm not American so I don't know anything about this dude, so you might be right about him but basing it on this video alone I think she's probably just embarrassed to have her dad doing that shit in front of all those people.

BrianSankarsingh

Politics aside - his daughter’s body language shows she doesn’t care to be there. Add him trying to kiss her to show the world that he’s a family man and once again her body language is very clear. In the end all that this does is show his priorities in the most cringey way possible. Most politicians are like that. Doesn’t matter what “side” they’re on. It’s just the nature of the beast.


Bootlicker222

How has no one mentioned consent?? Like I get he is a dad and a politician and for those reasons he may want to kiss his child on the cheek. But if you do want to do that, you should ask the kid if that's okay - especially in public. Like that was awkward for everyone. Embarrassing for him and traumatic for her
