Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz was taken to task after jokingly claiming at the Turning Point USA conference that liberal women are so "pissed" because they aren't sexually satisfied by liberal men.
Cruz, who is seeking re-election, expressed that women on the political left are deeply discontented and upset:
“The left is so bad! They’re so unhappy! They’re so pissed off! And by the way, if you were a liberal woman, and you had to sleep with those weenies, you’d be pissed too.”
You can hear what Cruz said in the video below.
The Senator's remarks were widely cheered by the audience, which comprised individuals like Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, who betrayed his own feelings about liberal women when he once claimed that pop star Rihanna gave a Super Bowl halftime show performance that was "the league of sexual anarchy" and suggested it "should not be allowed on television.”
Cruz's comments were swiftly criticized and called out for sexism and misogyny.
Sadly, prominent figures on the political right have used sexist and misogynistic language to demean liberal women, often to approval and laughter from their base.
In October, Brian Glenn, a commentator for the Right Side Broadcasting Network (RSBN), who is also the boyfriend of far-right Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, was widely criticized recently after he asserted that "liberal women" are the "ugliest women."
Glenn's comments came during a discussion with Christina Bobb, an attorney for former President Donald Trump, at a campaign event in Iowa. He asserted that conservative and Republican individuals are generally more attractive than their liberal counterparts.
He claimed conservative and Republican people are "better-looking people" because they are "joyous," "exercise," "get outside," "enjoy the outdoors," "are proud of themselves," and "embrace their inner beauty and outer beauty."
Glenn went on to say that liberal women "tend to be some of the ugliest women I've ever seen," suggesting that men wouldn't want to tolerate them because " they're unhappy," which is "what's making them so ugly."
