Ted Cruz: No Comment On Trump’s “Schlonged”

Ted Cruz today refused to comment on Donald Trump’s vulgar comments about Hillary Clinton. Instead, he once again made a pop culture reference. Via The Hill:

“There are an abundance of political pundits in the world, who, like Statler and Waldorf, assess every comment every candidate makes,” he said before a rally in Knoxville, Tenn., according to NBC News.

“I don’t need to be another political pundit,” the 2016 GOP presidential candidate added. “I’m going to let Donald Trump speak for himself and I’ll speak for myself.” Statler and Waldorf are a pair of Muppets who heckle the other characters from a balcony.

Cruz invoked the loudmouthed puppets Tuesday when asked if he condemns Trump’s controversial remarks about Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton.

On a related note, we’re seeing a lot more Trump/Cruz 2016 mentions on Twitter in recent days.
