They’re minors and he used their pictures without their parents’ permission, seemingly calling them “boys in girls’ sports.”

Republican Ted Cruz’s desperate search for trans targets in a hateful series of anti-trans attack ads directed at his Democratic opponent Colin Allred has landed the two-term Texas senator in hot water with the parents of two cisgender girls and their high school.

The teens appear in at least two fear-mongering ads attacking both the trans community and Allred, picturing them alongside former University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas and CeCé Telfer, a Jamaican-born sprinter and the first out trans woman to win an NCAA title.

    Sue him into the fucking ground.

    I’m not a betting man, but I would put money on those girls now being harassed and picked on by their schoolmates, and wouldn’t be surprised to find out they and/or their family was harassed by adults, either. Their life has been essentially ruined by this fucking piece of shit. They have every right to recourse, and there’s only one thing these fucking gop bitches understand.

    Sue. Him.

      They fortunately live in a very left leaning suburb of Portland where the vast majority gives zero shits if someone is trans.

        Well that’s good, at least, but that fucking bitch needs to be put in his place. I’ll say it again: sue the fuck out of him.
