Stephen King Didn’t Waste Fancy Words While Cutting Down Ted Cruz, Who Previously Attempted To Outwit Him

A few months ago, Stephen King pretty much ignored Ted Cruz when the much-maligned senator attempted to outwit him over banned books. That move blew up in Ted’s face, and the same goes for his attempts to tweet about Fight Club and, as a The Princess Bride superfan, rumble with Cary Elwes. Yet Ted, never to be deterred, swung at a horror maestro and missed (Ted may have also missed the plentiful biblical themes in King’s work while lobbing an insult), and King is now apparently circling back with a blow of his own.

Mind you, King is saving his loftier prose for the printed page, which is likely a wise move because personal energy conservation is an underrated move. Also, attacking with the bluntest of swords can be effective, depending upon context. As such, the King of the Dad Jokes decided to simply refer to Ted as “Dumbo” in reference Ted’s condemnation of Anthony Fauci, who Ted accused of being “smug and gleeful” while he “casually called to shut down bars, restaurants, and gyms.”

“A million dead, Dumbo,” the Cell author responded. “If America hadn’t listened to Fauci, the number would have been twice or three times that.”

The “Dumbo” may have made some people’s evenings. Simple, yet effective.

Ted Cruz Reveals Daughter Is “Okay” After Reports Of A Medical Emergency

Texas Senator Ted Cruz revealed that his teenage daughter is “okay” after police responded to his home earlier this week. Per TMZ, officers received a report that a 14-year-old had “self-inflicted stab wounds to their arm.”

Cruz has two daughters, ages 14 and 11, with his wife Heidi Cruz.

Requesting privacy following the incident, a representative for Cruz reportedly told ABC News, “This is a family matter and thankfully their daughter is okay.”

“There were no serious injuries,” the rep continued. “The family requests the media respect their daughter’s privacy at this time.”

Cruz confirmed last month that he would be seeking reelection in the U.S. Senate in 2024. If he wins, it will be the 51-year-old’s third consecutive term.

According to the Texas Tribune, the Republican politician recently shared, “I’m running for reelection in the Senate, I’m focused on the battles in the United States Senate.” Cruz previously stated, “We need a real debate about how are we going to lead during the next two years in the minority in the U.S. Senate.”

Cruz then alluded to a possible run for the presidency. After being asked if he would be a possible candidate in the upcoming election, the senator reportedly stated, “there’ll be plenty of time to discuss [the] 2024 presidential.”

He previously campaigned for the presidency in 2016 but suspended his efforts. Cruz later endorsed Donald Trump, who went on to become the 45th U.S. President.

Trump recently announced he may run for president in 2024 despite his approval rating dropping and accusations that he incited the January 6 Capitol attack

2 Chainz Thinks Ted Cruz’s Mass Shooting Suggestion Is ‘Dumb As F*ck’

Three days on from the Uvalde, Texas elementary school shooting, many of us are still trying to wrap our heads around the tragedy. While some call for compassion and understanding for the families of the victims, others are calling for action. However, the government representatives for the state of Texas have offered little in the way of solutions or useful suggestions beyond “arming teachers” — because that’s certain to work out (he wrote with as much sarcasm as he could muster.

Even rappers are tired of the non-response. 2 Chainz, who has three elementary-aged children of his own, vented his frustration with Texas Senator Ted Cruz, posting on Instagram taking the politician and his peers to task for their less-than-helpful takes. Cruz suggested that limiting school entries could be a way to prevent school shootings — instead of just, y’know, penning in potential victims and making it easier for a shooter to inflict damage and prevent authorities from intervening.

“These politicians, some of you n****s is dumb as f*ck,” Chainz said, not holding back. “Just ’cause you put a suit on… let me tell you something. The suit is the biggest cap in the world. When n****s be having on suits, man anybody wearing a suit, they think you put on a suit you supposed to be more intelligent. Man, I’ve been listening to some of you politicians and some of y’all n****s dumb as f*ck. That n****a Ted Cruz said, ‘Lock the back door next time.’ He said to prevent what happened, have the back door locked.” He ended the video with an expression of exasperated disbelief.

Only one thing is certain; this is a problem unique to the United States, as pointed out by a Sky News reporter directly to Cruz’s bewildered face. Until we do something differently, that may be unlikely to change anytime soon. Watch 2 Chainz’s reaction below.
