Now THIS is how it’s done! Here’s Ted Cruz at an event in Illinois last night getting into it with a protester demanding “ANIMAL LIBERATION NOW”:

Cruz also made a pretty funny joke that’s not on the clip:

.@tedcruz tries to make light of animal rights protester, says his daughters like puppies and if they were here they may stand with her — Scott Bauer (@sbauerAP) March 14, 2016

And after Cruz debated her, she was escorted out:
