Overview

  • During a Sept. 3 Newsmax interview, Cruz attacked Pritzker over his opposition to deploying the National Guard in Chicago.
  • Cruz called Pritzker "a disgusting, racist bigot" and alleged he keeps "open doors" for human and drug traffickers, MS-13 and Tren de Aragua.
  • He added, "I don't want to get between JB Pritzker and the Domino's Pizza line," drawing accusations of body-shaming.
  • Pritzker replied on X, "I would never want to get between Ted and a trip to Cancun when there’s an emergency in Texas."
  • A clip shared widely on social platforms, including by journalist Aaron Rupar, fueled criticism, and no apology or other formal action has been reported.
