    Rest of story + Cruz's "apology" here: Here's The Joke Ted Cruz Just Told About Vice President Joe Biden Before He's Even Buried His Son - The New Civil Rights Movement

    I hope this makes a lot of his supporters disgusted with him. He should be ahsamed of himself.

    There's always a time and place for everything. This "joke"? Completely tasteless and shows what kind of a man he is to joke about a father's dead son.

    Forget insensitive, the joke was unoriginal, faux-edgy and idiotic. This is the caliber of people looking to represent our country. >.<

    I'm almost certain that this man is a sociopath. It probably never occurred to him that his joke might be deemed insensitive by those capable of empathy.

    Am I the only one that doesn't have a problem with this? As long as they aren't joking about his sons death who cares. People are obnoxious all the time on twitter. Think about how many threats and horrific messages Obama must get on twitter everyday.

    Bad timing for a joke, however the joke had nothing to do with the death of his son.

    but, where is the outrage at some of the things this administration has done?

    like when obama skipped the funeral of the highest-ranking officer to be killed on foreign soil in over 40 years (Major-General Harold J. Greene), to play golf. He didnt even send a representitive. However, he has sent representitives to the funerals of criminals.
    do you find that disrespectful to the families of those that died serving the country?

    ... I don't get it. ._. What was the joke? Or was it just not that funny that it went over my head?

    Or more importantly, the countless of innocent civilians murdered by the glorious Commander in Chief? I could not care less about trivialities like these insults. And noone should care more about these highups being insulted than if their neighbors were. Stop praising these lunatics.

    the joke was that Biden is the joke, no punch line required.

    I think Joe Biden is an idiot, but hes like that idiot uncle everyone has at the family gatherings, loads of fun and always the center of all attention.
    Still, common decency would dictate that one should not be making any jokes about any parent on the day they are putting a child in the grave.
