Ted Cruz knows how to deal with lying behavior.
That’s the message the Republican presidential candidate sent to supporters Friday during a campaign stop at a coffee shop in Iowa but his words set off the hypersensitive left.
Cruz was asked by an audience member what he would do to finally hold someone accountable for Benghazi.
The Texas senator complained that President Obama and Hillary Clinton engaged in “deception, obstruction and (a) cover up” and agreed with the audience member that someone needs to be held to account.
“You know I’ll tell you, in my house, if my daughter Catherine, the five-year-old, says something she knows to be false, she gets a spanking,” Cruz said. “Well, in America, the voters have a way of administering a spanking.”

Liberals on social media, including Will Wheaton, didn’t care much about the four Americans killed at Benghazi but were outraged at the idea that Cruz spanked his child, something that has been done since the dawn of human history.
Cruz: “I hit my 5 year old daughter, and i am going to make a joke about it.” unreal. that isn’t a real man.

Ted Cruz: “I hit my child. Hitting children is GREAT! I’m not a shitfuck at all. Vote for me!”

Hundreds and hundreds of replies from people who are appalled at the idea of parents hitting their children restores my faith in humanity.

Luckily many others were on hand to call them on their ridiculous indignation.
@wilw it’s called spanking and it develops this thing called…respect. #tryagaindude

@wilw your lack of understanding of child development and psychology dissapoints me Will. You are all wrong. Kids need to FEAR punishment.

@wilw Hitting and spanking are not the same. Spanking is a last resort attention getter when children can’t be reasoned with.

.@wilw my parents spanked me for lying as a kid. They were right to do it, and I was not harmed by the experiences. Sorry you disagree.

@wilw Yea, and because people don’t spank their kids anymore is why we have such shitty people walking the streets now…smh.

@wilw Hey everyone look, Wil Wheaton doesn’t think doing something wrong should be punished! Do you have the same opinion on murder?
