| Subject: Funny: Sen. Ted Cruz blasts ‘True Blood’ episode that depicts violent GOP fund-raiser Tue Jul 22, 2014 8:09 pm | |
| The conservative Texas Republican was featured in the HBO show's latest episode, in which two vampire characters sneak into a fictional Cruz fund-raiser that quickly turns into a bloodbath.
If there was ever any doubt, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz has now made clear he is not a fan of HBO's "True Blood" television show. The Texas Republican laid into the hit vampire program Tuesday just days after the airing of a controversial episode, in which two characters attend a fictional Cruz fund-raiser that quickly turns into a bloodbath. "Of all the places I never thought to be mentioned, HBO's True Blood vampire show would have to be near the top of the list," Cruz wrote on his Facebook page Tuesday. "Sunday night, they aired a misogynist and profanity-ridden episode where Texas Republicans are murdered attending a 'Ted Cruz fundraiser.'" "I'm sorry to have lost the vampire vote, but am astonished (and amused) that HBO is suggesting that hard-core leftists are blood-sucking fiends," he added. In the episode, vampire characters Eric Northman and Pam De Beaufort sneak into the fundraiser hosted at the George W. Bush Presidential Library in search of a girl who is partly responsible for a disease that is killing vampires. Their attendance ends up sparking a violent massacre that leaves several in attendance dead.
