Beto O'Rourke agrees with Bill Maher: Ted Cruz is a 'giant a--hole'

WASHINGTON -- In an HBO appearance Friday, El Paso Rep. Beto O’Rourke didn’t call Texas Sen. Ted Cruz a “giant a--hole.”

He just agreed with late-night host Bill Maher, who described Cruz as one.

The exchange occurred during O’Rourke’s roughly 10-minute interview with the host of Real Time with Bill Maher, as the Democrat hoping to defeat the powerhouse Republican in a closely watched Senate race described his decision to refuse money from political action committees.

“In this campaign, we have outraised Ted Cruz by well more than $1 million dollars without taking money from PACs. All people, human beings,” O’Rourke said, prompting applause from the audience.

When Cruz cozied back up to Trump after Trump publicly humiliated his wife, it was apparent that he is a worthless scumbag who will do anything to advance his crappy career. And yes, he is an a-hole to boot.

I voted for him and will vote for him again. And who knows, I might vote for him for President some day. He looks like the real deal and a sharp guy. He's definitely better looking than Ted Cruz and his voice doesn't remind me of fingernails on a chalk board. And I like his ideas a whole lot better than Ted Cruz'
