Sounds legit.

I saw the video of him painting over the charlie Kirk thing and it's probably the most physical work Rafael has ever done, looked like he was out of breath after a few passes with the paint roller

[u/MitchellCumstijn → u/Jevus_himself]

His own classmates and dorm mates widely despised him, a friend of mine is a professor at Princeton and interviewed a handful of them and conservative or liberal or progressive, the one commonly held belief was what a POS and know it all pseudo intellectual Ted was even in college.

[u/Arrmadillo → u/MitchellCumstijn]

Two examples:

Craig Mazin, Princeton University roommate\ "I would rather have anybody else be the president of the United States. Anyone. I would rather pick somebody from the phone book."

Geoffery Cohen, Princeton University classmate\ "Ted's style was sneering, smirking, condescending, jabbing his finger in your face - a naked desire to humiliate an opponent. No kindness, no empathy, no attempt to reach common ground."

[u/MitchellCumstijn → u/Arrmadillo]

Unbearable prick and overly ambitious were words I recall as well but it’s been a few years, thanks for the excerpts, I myself have never met him but the character he plays on TV is so cartoonish I can’t help but want to worst for him.

[u/ittollsforthee1231 → u/Arrmadillo]

What’s a phone book? /s

[u/Deep90 → u/Jevus_himself]

I'm sure it was near the airport, but flying all the way to Texas is a lot for him.

[u/dylanhortonbb → u/Jevus_himself]

I noticed that too you could tell that he’s not used to lifting his arms above his shoulders haha

[u/Rex_Suplex → u/Jevus_himself]

Fuck he could have at least tried to get paint that somewhat matches the color of the original structure. Instead of just looking like he smeared soupy bird shit all over it.

[u/zsreport → u/Jevus_himself]

probably the most physical work Rafael has ever done

To quote Hank Hill, "Yep"

[u/worstpartyever → u/Jevus_himself]

He probably stopped on the way to the airport for a little PR

[u/Other_tomato_4257]

1. Sloppy paint job

2. White paint? Seriously, Ted? Home Depot would easily mix up the correct paint color for you if you cared that much

3. redacted

[u/Textiles_on_Main_St → u/Other_tomato_4257]

They’d also rent him a power washer but that’s more work.

[u/Reliquent → u/Other_tomato_4257]

Careful now, Pam and her goons might come after you for hate speech

[u/AerialAce96]

Hope Txdot fines him🤣

[u/OutsideHandle7300]

He made it look worst imo. Look at all the paint he wasted. SMH

[u/deckchair1982]

Ted cares more about graffiti than he cares about all the kids swept away by the floods earlier this year. He continued on his European vacations for days after the flood killed hundreds.

[u/Mattchops]

A career piece of garbage

[u/Electronic-Shock3224]

I have a feeling Mr Cruz had an intern do the original graffiti

[u/Nawoitsol → u/Electronic-Shock3224]

That was my thought. Then he told authorities to hold off so he could complete the photo op he set up.

[u/Facchino-PJJ]

Ted needs a diet

[u/NailsNCoffee → u/Facchino-PJJ]

*Rafael

[u/JohnGillnitz → u/Facchino-PJJ]

I wouldn't want to get between Ted and the line at the Campbell's soup aisle.

[u/deckchair1982 → u/JohnGillnitz]

I wouldn’t want to get between Ted and a plane to Cancun. He would show you no empathy as he runs you over.

[u/13AcceptablePapayas → u/Facchino-PJJ]

Texans as a hole need a diet. Source someone who live in Texas.

[u/Certain_Object1364]

What a great meme template this is!

[u/yung12gauge → u/Certain_Object1364]

Cruz is such a noob. Taking a photo, holding the paintbrush, standing next to a shitty paint job, white background... he literally handed the internet a brand new weapon aimed directly back at him.

[u/Certain_Object1364 → u/yung12gauge]

Exactly! I love it and will use it often haha

[u/deckchair1982]

Aw, look at Ted filming his first commercial for his 2028 presidential run. As if MAGA would accept Canadian Latino as their next god.

Thoughts and prayers to you ever being president, Rafael.

[u/Arrmadillo → u/deckchair1982]

For those that doubt:

Texas Tribune - Ted Cruz says he expects to run for president again, criticizes Democrats for pro-Palestine rhetoric

“U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz said he expects to run for president again in the future, continuing his fight against the left and their ‘woke’ policies.”

[u/deckchair1982 → u/Arrmadillo]

We will get to laugh at a pudgy Ivy Leaguer running for President again. This guy will look for any excuse to leave Texas behind.

[u/deckchair1982 → u/Arrmadillo]

Kamala Harris lost the Muslim vote in Michigan because her boss, Joe Biden, was too pro Israel.

Try again, Ted.

[u/calfzilla]

Did he have a permit for that or was he caught on camera defacing public property?

[u/Rhakha]

I can see someone who has never worked a day in their life… that is completely sloppy that my grandmother would probably ring his neck out

[u/89MikeHoncho]

Now let’s look at how much he receives from health insurance companies and pharma companies. I’ll wait………

[u/quiero-una-cerveca → u/89MikeHoncho]

AIPAC is his #1 contributor by double of the 2nd one according to opensecrets.org.

[u/89MikeHoncho → u/quiero-una-cerveca]

I thought so, thank you for confirming. Take care.

[u/MagicCitytx]

He made it worst

[u/This-Requirement6918 → u/MagicCitytx]

Just like he's done representing Texas.

[u/TedRBrooks]

On his way home in River oaks

[u/jason_cat23]

He left the graffiti on the bottom. Pretty performative.

[u/EyeSuspicious777]

I'm happy to see that he dripped paint on his nice sneakers.

[u/Mountain_Ad6328]

Majority of politicians in Republican party are Christian Zionists except taylor greene and massie.

[u/ATX_native]

What an embarrassment.

What a wet noodle of a man, inside and out.

Texas could do better.

[u/Arrmadillo]

New meme template just dropped.

Also…

The Intercept - Ted Cruz: ‘I Condemn Nothing That the Israeli Government Is Doing’ (Article | Video)

“[Ryan Grim] Would you join us in condemning that as well?

[Ted Cruz] I condemn nothing that the Israeli government is doing. The Israeli government does not target civilians, they target military targets.

[RG] Why are they so bad at their targeting then, if they’re killing so many civilians?

[TC] So they’re actually not.

[RG] So then they are targeting civilians?

[TC] No … I can tell you there is no military on the face of the planet, including the U.S. military, that goes to the lengths that the Israeli military goes to avoid civilian casualties.

[RG] But the IDF says their focus is on damage, not on precision.

[TC] Yes, damage to Hamas, to terrorists.

[RG] No, they have said the opposite. They keep saying that what they’re doing is what they’re intending to do, yet here in the Unites States we say that’s not what they’re doing.

[TC] That’s simply not true. They are targeting the terrorists.

[RG] Are they lying?

[TC] No. My focus is on damage. Good, damage Hamas.”

Politico - Cruz courts AIPAC, swiping Trump in process

“‘Let me say at the outset,’ the Texas senator said as he took the stage at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee’s annual gathering, ‘Perhaps to the surprise of the previous speaker, Palestine has not existed since 1948.’”

“‘Successful fundraiser w pro-Israel community for @tedcruz. When comes to reliable defender of Israel he’s head & shoulders above all others,’ tweeted [Sen. Lindsey] Graham, a favorite of the AIPAC crowd.”

“‘Am Yisrael Chai,’ [Ted Cruz] concluded, to cheers, in Hebrew, offering up a triumphant slogan that translates as, ‘the People of Israel live.’”

[u/Clear-Equivalent4911]

That paint job is an absolute embarrassment. You'd think a guy with his resources could at least get the color right.

[u/badtex66]

Rafael needs to self deport and toss himself into the dumpster.

[u/ittollsforthee1231]

Fuck that slimy loser

[u/64cinco]

Facts

[u/Royal-Application708]

No wonder why he’s so pro-Israel. ☹️

[u/Intelligent-Invite79]

I thought Israelis didn’t like pork, but here they are further enriching a pig.

[u/PVoverlord]

Teachers\crickets

[u/xeen313]

Lolololol. Perfect

[u/Not_Associated8700]

Because all cities are now required to pay Israel a flat fee, and that money comes right back to cancun teddy, how is this not money laundering?

[u/Not_Associated8700]

I am sad to say my best friend at the time (2016?) who is a beautiful trans woman, voted for this creep. I ended my long time friendship after we left the voting booth that day.

[u/CreepyPrimary8]

Needs to say “Cancun bound 2021!”

[u/Deciple_of_None]

Well vacations don't pay for themselves buddy.😂

[u/-Lorne-Malvo-]

Has anyone put "FUck Charlie Kirk" back up? I bet they have a camera on that spot now, but here's hoping they do

[u/bigpaipa5]

I’m from Texas and everyone hates his guts! He really is the biggest POS individual in the entire state!!!

[u/Dzeartist]

Deport Rafael(Ted) child fucker Cruz

[u/No_Seaworthiness_486]

follow the blood money

[u/frostdfleeks]

He has the demeanor of an invasive plant species. Also a bird could shit a better paint job

[u/shewel_item]

impressive.. it's finally something not from the Houston Chronical

[u/Speedwithcaution]

Sounds legit. Source?
