Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) attempted to mock Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D) with a fat joke on Wednesday, only to end up being humiliated after the governor roasted him back.
“What a disgusting, racist bigot JB Pritzker is,” Cruz said, implying that the governor’s attacks on Trump were somehow a slight against Latinos.
But Cruz’s feigned political correctness didn’t extend to other marginalized groups, such as overweight people, because he made a not-very-statesmanlike fat joke at Pritzker’s expense.
“And listen, I don’t want to get between JB Pritzker and the Domino’s pizza line, but I’ll tell you what I am willing to get between: It is him and his open doors for every human trafficker, every drug trafficker, every MS-13 and Tren de Aragua gang member,” Cruz said.
If Cruz expected his lame Domino’s joke to go over well, he was sorely mistaken.
“And I would never want to get between Ted and a trip to Cancun when there’s an emergency in Texas,” Pritzker clapped back, reminding people how Cruz left his fellow Texans to suffer record-cold temperatures and power outages while he and his family vacationed in Mexico.
Of course, people on social media felt obliged to comment on the political catfight.
