Has he always looked like a naked mole rat? The tip of his nose has become a distraction for me. I can see nothing else when I have to look at him.

Ted Cruz is getting really worked up about the 'Barbie' movie and accusing it of feeding young girls 'Chinese communist propaganda'

  • Ted Cruz slammed the "Barbie" movie for its depiction of a disputed region in the South China Sea.
    "This is Chinese communist propaganda," Cruz told The Daily Signal on Sunday.
    The movie has also caused controversy among claimant nations, Vietnam and the Philippines.
Sen. Ted Cruz really doesn't like the "Barbie" movie.

The Texas lawmaker this weekend ripped the movie and accused it of pandering to the Chinese censors and feeding young girls with "communist propaganda" with its depiction of a contested region in the South China Sea.

"There's a scene in 'Barbie,' where there is this map of the world, and it's drawn like with crayon. I mean, it's really a very simple cartoon. And so they have this blockish thing that is called 'Asia.' And then they've drawn what are called the nine-dashes," Cruz said in an interview with The Daily Signal on Sunday.

"This is Chinese communist propaganda in which the Chinese are asserting sovereignty over the entirety of the South China Sea. And they don't have any right to it under international law, but they are trying to take it away from their neighbors there," Cruz added.

This is not the first time the Texas Republican has weighed in on the "Barbie" movie. Cruz previously criticized the movie on his podcast and on Twitter.

"We've seen an ongoing pattern of Hollywood movies kowtowing to the Chinese communists," Cruz said in his podcast, "Verdict with Ted Cruz," on July 7.

"And they recognize that repeating what makes the Chinese Communist Party and the government happy increases the chances that the government will allow the movie to be sold in China," Cruz said on his podcast. "But I got to say it is shameful to see Hollywood acting as a mouthpiece for the Chinese communists."

China's nine-dash line depicts China's territorial claims in the South China Sea, and encompasses much of the region. In July 2016, the Permanent Court of Arbitration at The Hague found that China's territorial claims had no legal basis and ruled that China had violated international law.

I mean, someone just needs to use a Sharpie to correct it and Ted will be fine with it, right?
But the sunshine aye shall light the sky,
As round and round we run;
And the truth shall ever come uppermost,
And justice shall be done.

If I#m looking at the right line, it has 8 dashes. Cruz is just headline grabbing again.

That’s what I was looking at as well. If that is the right line, there’s another line of dashes between two islands at the top. It looks like sailing routes on a map.

After a minute of thought....

I mean, how the hell do you watch a movie in order to find stuff like that? Joseph McCarthy would be proud.

Which might be what he was going for.

Ya know, it’s scary how Ted Cruz views the world. I am most grateful not to be in his gene pool.

I'd sure like to see that theory tested.
