Cruz's new 'Office Space' ad hits Clinton

Damn, it feels good to be a Clinton. Or so it would seem, according to Ted Cruz's latest ad released Friday.

The Cruz campaign released its first ad explicitly going after Hillary Clinton on Friday, set to the tune of Geto Boys' "Damn It Feels Good to be a Gangsta."


"Damn it feels good to be a Clinton. A shameless politician plays her cards right," the lyrics begin, featuring a cast and scene ripped from the 1999 comedic hit "Office Space." "Got a crew for the fights on the airwaves. Lap dogs in the press keep their mouths tight."

Featuring Clinton and others taking turns destroying a computer with a baseball bat, the ad drives home the message that Cruz has made during debates and on the campaign trail about her use of a private server while secretary of state.

"Cause a Clinton never needs to explain what. Why it is what they’ve done or with who. A real Clinton knows they’re entitled. You don’t get to know what they do," the lyrics continue.

The actress playing Clinton gets increasingly violent in the 58-second ad, after the spot makes use of her "what difference does it make" line from her 2013 congressional testimony on Benghazi. "A Clinton plays the victim for promotion. A Clinton kills it off with a smile," the spot continues.

"Damn it feels good to be a Clinton. A server full of secrets ain’t no thing. Damn it feels good to be a Clinton. Nothing ever hits with a sting," the spot ends.

The ad release comes a day after the campaign pulled down another spot, following the discovery that it featured an actress who had appeared in softcore porn films.
