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?!)

Very cool: Alex Bregman becomes 1st Jewish player to hit World Series walk off. #GoStros #HoustonStrong #EarnHistory https://t.co/M8qaoil76v
