Ted Cruz Congratulates Alex Bregman For ‘Very Cool’ Jewish World Series Success

Ted Cruz: he’s just like us! Obsessed with the Jews.

Cruz tweeted a congratulation to the Chosen People today on the occasion of our representative Alex Bregman’s major success in the recent climactic World Series game. Despite the immediate, visceral reaction by his followers to the mention of the Jewish religion, Cruz bravely tweeted his excitement, along with the hashtag “earn history.” (Jews may feel that no one quite deserves our history, but who are we to quibble with our greatest fan Ted Cruz?!)

Here is our wish list for Jewish culture articles we’d like to see Ted Cruz cover:

-“18 Things That Will DEFINITELY Happen To You On Taglit”

-“Check Out These Pics Of Natalie Portman Eating Tzimmes!”

-“The Dissolution of Jonathan Safran Foer and Nicole Krauss’ Marriage, and All Subsequent Literature That Seems to Reflect On It: A Personal Essay”

-“All 97 Songs From ‘Crazy Ex Girlfriend’ Ranked”

This is a moment of great uncertainty. Here’s what you can do about it.

This is a moment of great uncertainty for the news media, for the Jewish people, and for our sacred democracy. It is a time of confusion and declining trust in public institutions. An era in which we need humans to report facts, conduct investigations that hold power to account, tell stories that matter and share honest discourse on all that divides us.

With no paywall or subscriptions, the Forward is entirely supported by readers like you. Every dollar you give this Passover is invested in the future of the Forward — and telling the American Jewish story fully and fairly.

The Forward doesn’t rely on funding from institutions like governments or your local Jewish federation. There are thousands of readers like you who give us $18 or $36 or $100 each month or year.

Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
