RED OAK, Iowa - Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) dropped a few gun control jokes during his latest swing through Iowa, days after the shooting deaths of nine people in a Charleston, South Carolina, church.

"You know the great thing about the state of Iowa is, I'm pretty sure you all define gun control the same way we do in Texas -- hitting what you aim at," Cruz said at a town hall meeting Friday in Red Oak.

Before a crowd of nearly 70 people, Cruz recalled a recent excursion to a gun range in New Hampshire that had fully automatic machine guns.


"My wife, Heidi, who is a petite, 5'2 California blonde, she was standing at the tripod unloading the full machine gun with a pink baseball cap that said 'armed and fabulous,'" he said.

I hope Texas comes to its collective senses and gets this jerk out of the limelight.

3. If he gets enough criticism maybe he'll issue another phony apology, like he did for his Biden jokes

5. Yes, it will be a phony apology...good point,

Ted Cruz has completely defined himself as the living proof of an ," insensitive asshole"......

I hope he gets his in the next election. Hard to imagine anyone this stupid/insensitive.

.But Ted Cruz is it...

This can be said everyday about the whole GOP, but,

"At long last, have you no shame?"

9. Just an awful man.

12. Yes, awful..an awful person.

How could the exact same insensitive type of behavior happen a second time?.
Beyond awful.

13. ... and how did the audience react?

Unless they boo him off the stage, he will keep saying things like this.
