    I am skeptical of this.

        Thank you, I did see that and it factored into my skepticism. At least for me, the audio is out of sync and the quality is poor. Even if genuine, it was edited devoid of real context and it seems clear it was designed to evoke a feeling in me rather than inform me of something new.

        I don’t really need this story to be true, since I already know Ted Cruz is a piece of shit, so until I happen across a secondary corroboration I remain skeptical.

          I don’t think anyone is suggesting that this is proof-positive that Cruz is a pedophile. He is being mocked for an inelegant turn of phrase. But the facts will be settled in a couple of days, so NBD.

          A quick search returns a large number of news organizations confirming it is true. It was also on CSPAN so would be easy as pie to confirm 100%.

          It was probably unintentional, but definitely happened and is just overshadowed on the main networks by every other fucking thing going down today.
