WASHINGTON — Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) is not backing down from his criticism of what he’s called a “woke” Army recruiting campaign. On Monday he released a new statement emphasizing the urgent need for the Army to “get back to commercials that make my dick hard.”
The statement came after Cruz shared a deceptively edited video last week comparing Russian and U.S. Army recruiting commercials, and said, “perhaps a woke, emasculated military is not the best idea.”
The video first showed clips from a Russian Army advertisement with a soldier getting his head shaved, doing shirtless pushups, and shooting guns, presumably at Ukrainians. Cruz later called it “boner central” on the Senate floor.
