Sen Ted Cruz (R-TX) almost certainly did not mean it when he said Democrats and Republicans should come together to "stop attacking pedophiles" " with the congressman making the unfortunate remark during a Senate hearing on Tuesday morning. "Sen. Booker also said we should have bipartisan agreement. I think that's a great idea " we should have bipartisan agreement," Cruz said. "How about we all come together and say Let's stop murders.' How about we all come together and say Let's stop rape.' How about we all come together and say Let's stop attacking pedophiles."
