Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) tried to hit President Joe Biden with his best shot on Thursday, but got his critics all fired up instead.
Cruz attempted to explain why Biden is so invincible in the Senate, saying it’s because of loyalty from Democratic lawmakers.
But his explanation somehow involved devil costumes, the full moon, child murder and Roll Hall of Famer Pat Benatar:
Ted Cruz: “I don’t think Senate Democrats, if you had video of Joe Biden murdering children dressed as the devil under a full moon while singing Pat Benatar, they still wouldn’t vote to convict.” pic.twitter.com/0a83AxV5RD

Cruz may have been referring to Benatar’s 1980 track “Hell Is For Children,” which caused the song’s title to trend on Twitter.
But the lyrics aren’t about the devil claiming children, as Cruz seems to think.
It’s a song against child abuse.
Twitter turned into a battlefield for Cruz:
Ted Cruz has accepted over $180,000.00 from the NRA…so he actively advocates for the murder of children.
He doesn’t bother to dress as the devil, he doesn’t wait for a full moon and he has probably never actually listened to Pat Benatar or her music.
He just takes NRA money. pic.twitter.com/bZHc23spn4

Uhh… Pat Benatar? I don’t think “Hell Is for Children” was meant to be taken literally. It’s a song condemning child abuse. https://t.co/QY36Rtwoiw

Keep Pat Benatar’s name
OUT
OF
YOUR
FOUL
MOUTH!
Your ever so SNIDE remark is a reference to
“Hell is for Children”
A song that happened to bring more awareness to child abuse and SA than any other.
AWARNESS that you utterly lack.#DemVoice1 #ProudBlue https://t.co/KdlhOdtjWf— Thought First (Shane) (@FirstShane) June 15, 2023
