Hell is for hell, hell is for Ted Cruz.
The statement in question came during a sit-down with the Joe Pags on his syndicated show on Thursday, during which Cruz was asked a wonky question about whether a congressional supermajority would ever vote to remove Biden from office in case of an impeachment.
“I don’t think Senate Democrats, if you had video of Joe Biden murdering children dressed as the devil under a full moon while singing Pat Benatar, they still wouldn’t vote to convict,” Cruz said. Setting aside for a moment the ongoing right-wing fantasy in which democrats commune with Beelezebub to drink the blood of the young, as usual, Twitter piled on Cruz for his lyrical malapropism, in which he seemingly misunderstood the subject of one of Benatar’s most beloved hits.
“There are so many black metal bands Ted Cruz could have used here, and yet his idea of satanic music is… Pat Benatar,” one user commented about Cruz’s Benatar bungle, which appeared to suggest that the singer’s urgent 1980 single “Hell Is For Children” is somehow about Satan worship and not, as is actually the case, about child abuse.
“He was probably thinking of ‘Hell Is For children,’ which, if he’d actually listened to the song, is anti-child abuse. But who cares about facts?,” wrote another. “I’m still thinking about this. Ted Cruz graduated high school in 1988. Pat Benatar released albums consistently from 1979 throughout the ’80s,” wrote author Ali Davis.
