During an appearance on Joe Pagliarulo’s talk show earlier this week, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) painted a bizarre image of President Joe Biden murdering children dressed as Satan while singing a song by Pat Benatar.

Conservative talk show host Pagliarulo asked the Texas senator about the possibility of a Biden impeachment and whether it would be possible to remove the president from office with a Senate supermajority.

Cruz gave a colorful response to the audience:

Pagliarulo: If the Senate gets the impeachment and a trial is held, do you think you could ever get a supermajority to remove him?

Cruz: I don’t think Senate Democrats, if you had video of Joe Biden murdering children dressed as the devil under a full moon while singing Pat Benatar, they still wouldn’t vote to convict.

Benatar fans let Cruz have it on Twitter over the truly weird Biden-Satan remarks. It’s unclear why the Senator invoked the singer’s name in the exchange.

The famous vocalist responded to Cruz on Saturday with a curt and on-brand two-word response on her official Facebook page: “NICE TRY!”
