Republican Senator Ted Cruz, recently floated as a possible Supreme Court justice by President Trump, could barely get through his absolute mockery of Democrat Senate candidate James Talarico as he made fun of his self-flagellation over his ‘whiteness’ and ‘masculinity.’
For context, Cruz was campaigning on behalf of the Trump-endorsed Republican Senate candidate up in Michigan, Mike Rogers, who finds himself in a contested race against Muslim socialist Abdul El-Sayed. Both El-Sayed and Talarico represent a radical leftwing of the Democrat Party.
“By the way, James Talarico stood in front of a church, and he said, ‘I weep for my whiteness, and I weep for my masculinity.’ Look, if you were to sit down and make a list of the top 1,000 adjectives to describe James Talarico, masculine would not be one of them. Like I’m looking at him, thinking, ‘Dude, you can bear the weight of your manhood,’” Cruz joked, having to pause halfway through at the ridiculous impersonation.

As mentioned, Ted Cruz has also been mentioned as a possible replacement for an outgoing conservative justice on the Supreme Court. Trump jokingly said Cruz would get 100% of his Senate colleagues’ votes, given that nobody likes him.
“Any country likes it, and with the help of Senator Ted Cruz, our great big beautiful bill also delivered a record-setting expansion of school choice. No, he’s he’s a worker. I I shouldn’t tell this. Should I tell these Supreme Court situations? Should I tell? Come on, he’s so you know. I picked three Supreme Court justices, and it’s very hard to get them approved,” Trump began at his campaign stop.
“I said, ‘Look, I have an answer to it. Ted is a brilliant guy, brilliant lawyer, brilliant all that. Went to law school, top student, everything, top credentials.’ I said, ‘I have an answer to not being able to get it past the Democrats or the Republicans together,’” he went on.
“I would pick Ted Cruz to be the next Supreme Court justice, and I wouldn’t have to worry about. I wouldn’t even have to make a phone call. The Democrats will 100% vote for it because they hate the guy and they want to get rid of him, and the Republicans would 100% vote for it because they can’t stand him. They would like to get rid of him, so I’d get 100% of the vote, and he would be a Supreme Court justice, and he’d do a great job,” the president said.
James Talarico currently leads Attorney General Ken Paxton by a narrow margin in most polls for Senator in Texas, as does Abdul El-Sayed over Mike Rogers in Michigan. Voting takes place on Tuesday, November 3rd and will decide control of the House and Senate.
