Senator
Ted Cruz (R-TX) is getting roasted on Twitter for bizarrely comparing the left to comic book villains.
On his new podcast,
Verdict with Ted Cruz, the Republican senator went off on a tangent about how the views of environmentalists align with those of the antagonists in
Avengers: Endgame and
“What is interesting, and
Endgame is curious, have you noticed in how many movies, how often rabid environmentalists are the bad guys?” said Cruz.
“Whether it’s Thanos, or go to
Watchmen, where the view of the left is people are a disease,” he added. “They buy into the Malthusian line that there are too many people in the world, that people are bad, and everything would be better if we had fewer people. I mean, Thanos wanted to eliminate 50 percent of the life forms in the universe with one finger snapping.”
