Bizarre Ted Cruz tweet warns of ‘mandated sex change operations’ if Hillary Clinton wins

A link tweeted by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) that has since been deleted suggested that there would be “mandated sex change operations” if Hillary Clinton wins the presidency.

In a Sunday afternoon message posted to Twitter, Cruz linked to a Conservative Review column by Daniel Horowitz titled “Why conservatives will need a new party if/when Hillary wins.”

The column makes the case for conservatives creating a new party to oppose Clinton instead of aligning with GOP leaders who “are already planning to greet her with tailwinds instead of headwinds.”nBut while advocating for the new party, the column also veers into fringe conspiracies.

“Texas Sen. John Cornyn’s biggest agenda item for a Hillary presidency is to grant her George Soros’s top policy agenda — jailbreak — which will help create a permanent Democrat majority,” Horowitz writes, referring to criminal justice reform. He goes on to predict “mandated sex change operations” by 2020 if conservatives are not able to stop Clinton.

“By that point, we will have mandated sex change operations,” Horowitz warns. “Heck, our own military during a time of war and internal morale crisis has already published a handbook on sex changes. We simply don’t have the time to continue down this failed path. We’ve already been in the wilderness for 27 years.”

This is a "fringe" theory? I guess if the "fringe" is in another universe, possibly. "Mandated sex change operations?" Women are going to be forced to become men? Men to become women? Both? Everyone switches?

I am a transgendered veteran who knows what it is like to live in fear of discovery while I was in the military. I even went through and won a Special Court Martial. Action fueled by fears that, 'I'm one of them there faggot types.' I went on to excell in the Army becoming a helicopter crewchief and went from private E1 to sergeanr E5 in a three year enlistment.

I am here to tell you the VA medical system is terrified to give us much more then hormones and androgen blockers. I resent being Ted and company's incite the rabble boogie woman. He was already on my shit list. Now I'll gladly go out of my way to proactively target him politically right back. People like him are the worst sort of fascist assholes.

I can't say I'd mind changing for myself. The insanity here is thinking it'll be forced on the country at large-- this guy cannot be serious.
