Cruz’s spanking fetish: Ted Cruz’s authoritarian streak comes out when he urges spanking a child to silence dissent

Looks like Donald Trump is not the only Republican candidate who responds to protesters by suggesting that someone should beat them into submission. At a recent campaign rally in Indiana, Cruz responded to a protester, reported to be a child, with a pompous lecture about the glories of spanking. “One of the things that hopefully someone has told you is that children should actually speak with respect,” Cruz said. “In my household, when a child behaves that way they get a spanking,” he said, as the crowd cheered. It was one of those moments when the cowardice of the conservative movement was laid bare.
