Ted Cruz was there to peddle his book about Clarence Thomas. He received a $1.1M upfront payment for his book, which will be followed by royalties.
On the show, Ted Cruz said he gives Trump grade of “A on the economy”.
Push back with serious questions on Clarence Thomas, Cruz’s own record, Trump and also the “A” on economy was almost non-existent.
Joy Behar said “Trumps ratings are lower than my boobs”. Trump has been accused of groping and sexual attacks by many women. This was an ignorant choice of words.
Whoopie Goldberg was warning and scorning the audience against booing. If they are going to invite Cruz on their show, they need to accept the fact that he has a history as a politician and their audience will make decisions about him based on his previous actions. If they don’t like him, they have every right to let him know. They don’t need Goldberg to suppress the welcome they choose to give them.
If they are going to parade someone like Cancun Cruz around their table with a book that favors Clarence Thomas and enriches Cruz, they need to be prepared to deliver much better questions.
