Cruz wants you to know his opponent is against police killing innocent, unarmed black men.

Wanda Sykes roasted Sen. Ted Cruz for trying to nail his opponent, Congressman Beto O’Rourke, over his stance against police violence.

Cruz shared a video of O’Rourke speaking at a church, where he condemns what happened to Botham Jean, a black man in Dallas who was shot and killed in his home by a police officer, and then had his apartment searched for drugs in what many are calling a smear attempt against the innocent man. Cruz said calls for the cop to be fired, including by his opponent, were “a mistake.”

O’Rourke then went on to address the broader issue, asking, “How can we continue to lose the lives of unarmed black men in the United States of America at the hands of white police officers?”

“That is not justice. That is not us. That can and that must change,” he added to applause.

Sykes retweeted Cruz with the message, with one of her own.

“Yep! And I sent him money so he can take your job in November,” the out comedian wrote.

Yep! And I sent him some money so he can take your job in November. @BetoORourke https://t.co/MGUyTVu4BA — Wanda Sykes (@iamwandasykes) September 22, 2018

Sykes wasn’t the only one to get in on the action, as most of the comments on Cruz’s tweet show support for his opponent.

So…. you're endorsing @BetoORourke? Cause otherwise, this makes absolutely no sense… — Sean Kleier (@SeanKleier) September 23, 2018

@SeanKleier Mr. Cruz is pandering to a specific constituency – those who mistakingly believe that it is anti-American to hold police officers accountable for unjust killing of unarmed citizens in their own home. — WestlakeWifee™¸.✫¨´` (@WestlakeWifee) September 24, 2018

Ted Cruz, color me shocked, but I'm actually tempted to RT you. Thanks for posting this video, Beto was ON POINT. 💥 pic.twitter.com/bfC3fycAWg — Jyn Erso 🇺🇸 (@JynErso_2017) September 23, 2018

@tedcruz this video does not help you. No one should be shot in their own home by police. Signed a conservative. — GOP Pouncer (@Mellecon) September 23, 2018

I wonder how much money @BetoORourke made because of this tweet. Looks like quite a bit. — Lee Howell (@MagicLeeEdTech) September 23, 2018

Polls show the race is tight, with the Democrat closing the initial gap between himself and the incumbent. This is just the latest example of the Cruz team tweeting out messages meant to knock O’Rourke that have backfired, including an attempt by the Texas GOP to mock him for being in a punk band when he was younger.
