Ted Cruz college classmates ‘horrified’ he might become president: ‘He called my mother a wh*re!’

Ted Cruz college classmates ‘horrified’ he might become president: ‘He called my mother a wh*re!’

SNIP...........


Armed with a tip about a Cruz sexual encounter at the Ivy League university during his freshman year, Ellie Shechet of Jezebel reached out to close to 75 former contemporaries of Cruz for corroboration. While no one could verify the rumor, many had a few other things to say about the Republican senator from Texas who seems to have a knack for rubbing people the wrong way.

An earlier investigation by the Daily Beast uncovered classmates who referred to the younger Cruz as “abrasive,” “intense,” “strident,” “a crank” and “arrogant,” with four separate respondents calling hum “creepy.”

.....

Speaking with Sarah Hougen Poggi ’92 — who commented on a New York Times op-ed detailing how she stopped attending outside meetings attended by Cruz because “I simply could not deal with his rudeness” — Poggi elaborated.

“He didn’t become more civil or well-mannered” over the next four years, she stated in an email. “When anyone in my class and I talk about him there is no one who breaks in and says ‘Come on guys, he wasn’t so bad.’”

embarrassed to admit it.

Electing him to the WH does assure an actual revolution in this country, no question.

bring out GWB. He looks positively well-behaved next to Cruz.

"He has that smug smile of someone who just farted in an elevator full of people, knowing that he can't be conclusively blamed"
