“I recently spoke with a student on one of our woke college campuses who said that she is required in every class to introduce herself and say her pronouns,” Cruz said. “Well, my name is Ted Cruz and my pronoun is kiss my ass.”
But the comment almost doubled as another comment of his own for the Texas senator, which served as pure gasoline for people on Twitter.
Cruz’s remarks Friday came days after his condemnation of the 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges Supreme Court decision that legalized same-sex marriage.
Following the Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade in June, Justice Clarence Thomas issued a concurring opinion stating that the Supreme Court has a “duty to ‘correct the error’ found” in the Obergefell decision. Cruz followed up by saying the court was “clearly wrong” and “overreached” in the landmark gay rights case.
