TYT: Ted Cruz Endorsed By Duck Dynasty's Phil Robertson

[WhoIsNumberNone]

Ted Cruz got a very important endorsement from reality TV star Phil Robertson, the Duck Dynasty guy. If that’s not ridiculous enough, they produced a campaign ad together. John Iadarola (ThinkTank) and Jimmy Dore (The Jimmy Dore Show Podcast), hosts of the The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

"Issues? What issues? Check out the ad Duck Dynasty's Phil Robertson has cut with Ted Cruz -- and while you're watching it, pay attention to the use of the slippery word "us."

"My qualifications for president of the United States are rather narrow," Robertson says in the video. "Is he or she godly, does he or she love us, can he or she do the job, and finally would they kill a duck and put him in a pot and make him a good duck gumbo? I've looked at the candidates; Ted Cruz is my man. He fits the bill. He's godly, he loves us, he's the man for the job, and he will go duck hunting -- because today we're going."

At the end of the video, Robertson turns to Cruz and says: "You're one of us, my man. That's why we're voting for you."

Just who is "us" in this context? On the surface, it seems as if the "us" in "You're one of us, my man" is the Robertson family -- Cruz will smear his face and go duck hunting, so he's an honorary family member.”*

What's with the face paint? Which I presume is mud. Does that fool the ducks?

I'm sure it's obvious, but I'm not a hunter.
