Republican incumbent Cruz effectively promised to stand for the national anthem as polls suggest a tightening race in traditionally deep-red Texas.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) wants you to know that he’s always going to stand for the National Anthem.

That is the subject of a new digital ad released today which incorporates a viral clip of his Democratic opponent Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-TX) explaining his thoughts on NFL protests against killings of unarmed citizens by police officers.

O’Rourke’s comments, in which he was responding to a question at a town hall from a young man who expressed concern about the kneeling, generated positive feedback by celebrities, supporters and athletes alike.

“Non-violently, peacefully, while the eyes of this country are watching these games, they take a knee to bring our attention and our focus to this problem to ensure that we fix it,” O’Rourke said in part. “I can think of nothing more American than to peacefully stand up, or take a knee, for your rights, anytime, anywhere, or any place.”

1. While I haven't seen cruz's ad I could guess that they chopped up the clip

so it shows O'Rourke saying something like:

"They take a knee. I can think of nothing more American, anytime, anywhere, or any place"

Its what scumbags do.
