Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) was heckled at a Houston restaurant on Friday night, following his speech at the National Rifle Association’s convention in which he broadly rejected proposals for gun control, days after the Uvalde school shooting.

Advertisement, particularly after revelations that parents had begged police outside to go in and confront the shooter sooner, only to be blocked from entering themselves.

After Cruz traveled to Cancún, Mexico, in February 2021, while millions of Texas residents were without power and safe drinking water amid freezing temperatures, the senator was heckled by rapper Bun B at a Houston Astros playoff game.On Friday night, Hernandez started off asking for a picture with Cruz, who was dining with his family at Uptown Sushi, according to video.

Knowing he was likely to get kicked out of the restaurant — which he was — Hernandez said he paid the bill for him and his wife ahead of time.

Of course he doesn’t care!! Republicans are only serving in the government for themselves, not for the people who elected them!! So very sad 😞!!!

Any Democrat for Texas Senator 2024.

They all should be

Yeah well maybe the citizens of Texas should join the Republican Party & vote him out in the primary race & install another senator who will do something about gun control? Just a thought ..

Wasn't heckled, he was confronted with the truth

Poor guy......and he thought he could be president.

He wasn't heckled he was straight punked out.

The Devil's Servant

The NBA’s Warriors called for 'sensible gun laws', which isn't going to happen. Because Cruz doesn't care, Greene doesn't care, Boebert doesn't care. As long as people are using AR-15's to kill Hispanics in schools, Blacks in supermarkets and Jews in synagogues.

I need to see this same headline for every day moving forward.

Machine gun bacon…

No Justice, no peace‼️

He’s better than I would be. If confronted by someone while I’m trying to enjoy dinner I may just have bitten off a few fingers.

“Prohibition focused on eliminating alcohol; not heart change. Result: mafia gained power & drunkenness increased. History Matters!”Jay Younts

I understand the right are again calling for the arming of teachers. What does it say about the direction of a country that wants to arm its educators?

The is unexceptional behave ! The left are a hateful group!

'Heckled'?

Good.

Heckled has negative undertones, why that word? A constituent expressed their right to talk to a government official in public, that’s not heckling.

Does anyone know how much money the NRA gives Cruz?

Good.

That’s why you only dine out in Cancun.

We need more of this.

None of these craven Republicans should enjoy a moments peace as they let Americans be gunned down as they gobble up the gun money. BamAssaultWeapons

We need Placards with Death Toll of Dead American Children , Hardened Anti-Merchant of Death Protests.

He’s lucky he wasn’t heckled by a rifle

Isn't he the back door senator? Just leave man! And please, by the back door, yellow NRA GOP ...

Good.

Wish this mattered.

👏👏👍

You would think he would be used to it by now.

Looks like he responded to a constituent’s words with physical force. That doesn’t look so good, does it?

Good. He should never feel comfortable in public. He's a shameful person who deserves the heckling.

This isn’t heckling. It’a a constituent petitioning his representative to redress grievances. These clowns say they like the Constitution, they should love this.

The one door policy would NOT run afoul to fire policy!!! You can exit any door but people would have to enter thru one door!!! This is media propaganda

If he cries about his right to eat in peace he should be reminded of all the children and their families who will never eat a meal in peace again.

Good. Confront him everywhere he goes

Of course!!! He should be ashamed of himself! Shame on you Ted Cruz!!!!!!!!!1

Good! He should have no peace. Ever.

More like NAR15A.

He will try to say that he is the victim instead of all the people who are killed by his inaction on common sense gun policies

Ted Cruz... I thought he still were on vacation with his family. What a disaster for the US domestic politic. He is just a laugh but a dangerous one.

Good. I hope he never findd peace for the rest of his life.

Public figure need to be careful what they say.

The NRA says its Houston convention will 'reflect on' the Uvalde school shootingThe NRA began its annual convention in Houston today, and leaders of the powerful gun-rights lobbying group are gearing up to 'reflect on' — and deflect any blame for — the school shooting in Uvalde. | via NPR NPR Disgusting! NPR Deflect blame for ?- why should they take any blame. Advocating for the right to own guns is far different than someone using the gun to commit murder. If any one is to blame its our govt for not effectively dealing with mental illness and arguably promoting these past few yrs.
