Ted Cruz’s Comments About Gay Marriage Have Twitter Seeing Red – The List

While speaking on the program “Verdict with Ted Cruz” over the weekend, Senator Ted Cruz blasted the Supreme Court’s 2015 decision to make gay marriage legal across the nation, instead of leaving the issue up to the states to decide (via New York Post).

According to Cruz, “some states were moving to allow gay marriage, other states were moving to allow civil partnerships.” He added that the court’s ruling to legalize same-sex marriage at the federal level was “overreaching” and “was clearly wrong when it was decided.” He continued, “The Court said: ‘No we know better than you, and now every state must sanction and permit gay marriage.'”

Twitter’s reaction to the senator’s take on the issue — especially on the heels of Roe v. Wade being overturned — was swift and condemnatory. Some people kept their thoughts on Cruz’s latest hot take succinct. “Dude is the worst,” tweeted Forbes contributor Maury Brown. 

Other accounts shared more detailed thoughts on why what Cruz said wasn’t sitting well with them.
