Flagging Cruz's comments on the NC bill.

On the NC anti-LGBT bill, Cruz says we've gone off the deep in. Talks about how country was founded on religious liberty, men and women who were fleeing religious oppression. Wasn't too long ago that religious liberty was a bipartisan commitment. Modern Democrat Party has decided that religious liberty in inconsistent with their political protections/bias. This will be a religious liberty election.

On how he would make the case that he doesn't hate transgender people - this isn't complicated. My daughters are 5 and 8. My five year old knows the difference between boys and girls. You have the Obama education department suing to try to force junior highs to let teenage boys shower with teenage girls. That's crazy. That's not a reasonable position, that's crazy. The idea that grown men would be allowed alone in a bathroom with little girls - you don't need to be a behavior psychologist to realize that bad things can happen and that any prudent person would not allow that. It's only the lunacy of political correctness.

Cruz asked about the potential for molestation to occur, Cruz touts his time as solicitor general where he handled cases of child molesters and pedophiles. Cruz: When you deal with people who are repulsive criminals - there are bad people in the world and we shouldn't be facilitating putting little girls alone in the bathroom with grown adult men.
