Cruz Impersonates Darth Vader In Speech: 'Mike Lee, I Am Your Father'
TOM KLUDT – SEPTEMBER 25, 2013, 10:11 AM EDT
Around the 18-hour mark of his marathon floor speech to protest funding for Obamacare, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) found an opening to talk about Star Wars.
Cruz said he was moved by Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), who joined the Texas Republican on the floor to speak in favor of a rebellion against oppression.
"I will confess it reminded me of a movie series that was in the theaters when the senator from Kentucky and I were both kids, young adults, and that was the 'Star Wars' franchise," Cruz said.
In Cruz's mind, he and Paul are just like Han Solo and Luke Skywalker.
"And I will confess that phrase, 'a rebellion against oppression,' conjured up to me the rebel alliance fighting against the empire, the empire being the Washington, D.C. establishment," Cruz said.
