Senator blasts Ted Cruz for ‘Sandy Hook’ campaign ad: It ‘makes me want to throw up’
07 Nov 2015 at 12:02 ET


Calling it “sick” and saying it made him “want to throw up” a senator from Connecticut ripped into Republican presidential contender Sen. Ted Cruz and a PAC that supports him over an ad using the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary school as a reason to support his candidacy.

According to the Hartford Courant, Sen Chris Murphy (D-CT) issued a blistering statement condemning the ad that trades on the deaths of the 26 people — 20 of them children — to commend Cruz for standing up for gun rights after the horrific mass shooting.

“If Ted Cruz wants to brandish his pro-gun credentials to Republican primary voters, that’s his right,” Murphy said. “But it’s sick that he thinks he’ll win votes by specifically pointing out that in the wake of 20 dead first-graders, he was the face of the fight to ensure no action was taken to stop more deranged killers from walking into elementary schools with military-style assault weapons loaded with 30-round clips of ammunition.”

“The new Ted Cruz ad makes me want to throw up, and I’m pretty sure that’s a feeling shared by many who lived through the horror of Sandy Hook,” Murphy said.

Murphy added that “showing off how callous he was in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook shooting may win him some right-wing votes that get swept up from Donald Trump or Ben Carson, but it disqualifies him in a general election.”

“Middle-of-the-road, common sense voters support measures like expanded background check,” Murphy said. “But more importantly, they won’t be impressed by a campaign whose opening pitch to voters is portraying the candidate as the one senator who took on the parents of Sandy Hook in the wake of the most horrific mass shooting in our lifetime.”

7. You're right to be scared

In fact, there's historical precedent for it, since Stalin was born in Georgia not Russia and Hitler was born in Austria not Germany.

17. Perhaps......

Murphy is someone that we should look to as a national candidate?
Gotta' love how he sticks up for the right things!

[Fred Sanders]

8. This pandering to the sick on Fox GOP primary voters of Iowa and NH is sickening the nation.

Call them out for what they are...power hunger men of evil supported by a few thousand brainwashed
Christian extremists.

9. Cruz has a serious personality disorder of some kind

antisocial, narcissistic, psychopathic, sociopathic - one or perhaps all describe him.

He is a very dangerous person.

[TheCowsCameHome]

14. How true.

Cruz is a very dangerous man.

[SammyWinstonJack]

[Skittles]

[edhopper]

10. I would leave it at this:

"Ted Cruz makes me want to throw up’

[DVRacer]

18. Put me in the camp of

Carnival Cruz makes me want to puke! The man is unstable mentally and should be seeking mental health care. It bothers me when I overhear people here in Oklahoma say they consider him as an option it makes me question their mental health.
