title:  Ted Cruz Attacks Sean Penn For ‘Glorifying Homicidal Killers’ — Here’s Penn’s Brilliant Response (VIDEO)
text: At an addiction policy forum in in New Hampshire, Republican Senator and presidential contender Ted Cruz discussed the awful consequences of drug addiction by highlighting his sister s overdose in 2011. The conversation then turned into a political rant against undocumented illegal immigrants with Cruz calling them  undocumented democrats.  He blamed the media, Hollywood, and specifically Sean Penn for glorifying drugs and drug dealers, calling for a wall to be built between the U.S. and Mexico. Referring to Penn s recent interview with drug kingpin Joaquin Guzman, also known as El Chapo, Cruz said: El Chapo. You know, Sean Penn seems to think he is a sexy and attractive character. I so appreciate Hollywood for glorifying vicious homicidal killers. What a cute and chic thing to celebrate. Someone who murders and destroys lives for a living. El Chapo s organization brings vast quantities of drugs into this country, vast quantities of heroin. Penn s article did not glorify or celebrate El Chap or drugs, but in typical fashion, Ted Cruz has made a career out of half truths and all out lies. Cruz s statement didn t sit well with Sean Penn. In an email sent to  Mother Jones, Penn stated:  Ted Cruz is a generically funny and dangerously adept thought-smith. Clearly, he watches too much television and neglected to read my article before criticizing. It s understood. He s busy trading genius and raising aspirations with Mr. Trump. Blame Canada. Blame Canada is 1999 song from the film South Park. The song satirizes scapegoating.It s not the first time Penn has criticized Cruz. Responding in 2013 to an interviewer s question on whether Ted Cruz should be committed to a mental institution, Penn said:  He is, he is my American brother. I won t   I think we should take care of him, he is in, he s the trouble. Penn seems to have been on to something quite early. Ted Cruz s ideas are quite dangerous and if he becomes president, the country is in deep trouble. Featured image from YouTube Screenshot.
