Ted Cruz Gets Played Off Fox News By Hilariously Loud Background Music
HuffPost
The Texas Republican was criticizing Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) for nearly half a minute over a hilariously unrelenting score.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) appeared Wednesday on Fox News for a softball interview, and spent several minutes railing against Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) and the Democratic Party — before the channel’s jingoistic background music practically played him off.
Newsom naturally pounced on the moment and shared the clip on X, formerly Twitter, to viral results. The governor instructed his followers to turn the sound on “for Ted’s walk-off music treatment on Fox tonight,” before arguing that Cruz has “really lost it.”
“Incredible,” Newsom wrote Wednesday.
Cruz was criticizing Newsom’s leadership in California before the music started, citing high taxes, crime and regulation as purported reasons for people “fleeing to Texas.” He then hit Newsom for opposing President Donald Trump’s federal takeover of Washington, D.C.
“And yet Gavin Newsom and the rest of the Democratic Party, they exist for one purpose right now — to hate Donald Trump,” Cruz said Wednesday. “You look at President Trump federalizing the police in D.C., just this week we’ve seen crime rates in D.C. plummet.”
