In this 38 second clip, Ted completely makes something up (Disney is showing gay sex!) and then gets mad at the thing he's made up (my kids can't watch Disney anymore because of the gay sex). https://t.co/EoWHMlLNCM

Why are some of the straights so obsessed with gay people’s sex lives? As if there is some sordid history of Disney cartoon characters having sex on screen. I would call Ted Cruz shameless, but that would indicate he was capable of feeling embarrassed about his stupidity. https://t.co/Vrddm1eWtX
