Two years later, Cruz once again made a conscious choice to promote Russian propaganda. The Washington Post reported this morning:

The first half of the TikTok video shows a muscular Russian man with a shaved head doing push-ups, jumping out of a plane, and staring down the scope of a rifle. The second half shows a brightly animated U.S. Army ad telling the true story of Cpl. Emma Malonelord, a soldier who enlisted after being raised by two mothers in California and graduating at the top of her high school class. The U.S. Army said its ad showcases the "the deeply emotional and diverse" backgrounds of its soldiers. But to Sen. Ted Cruz, who retweeted the TikTok on Thursday, the contrast with Russia's campaign instead made American soldiers "into pansies."

The point of the video was hardly subtle: the viewer was supposed to believe that Russian troops are hardened killing machines, while U.S. troops are soft and weak.

Evidently, the Texas Republican was so impressed with the message that he both promoted the video and effectively endorsed its message.

Trying to use embarrassment and group shame is a feminine tactic, especially when you're just mad Ted Cruz memes are better than yours.
That Tyler perry in a dress TV has really effeminized you and your people.

I thought Cruz was okay until he left his dog in Texas during that deep freeze. Then Cruz posted a bunch of stuff on social media deep throating Israel's boots like a good goy.

Ted Cruz is shill garbage.

The sooner you understand that 99.9% of the politicians are in for themselves and their future generations, the sooner you will buy enough firearms and get ready.
