During a somewhat important Senate hearing Wednesday, Sen. Ben Sasse apologized for creating a raucous. Sasse claimed he “accidentally” dumped a Dr Pepper on Sen. Ted Cruz.
To which Sen. Cruz responded:
MEMO TO OFFICE:
Please place a picture of @BenSasse above the @drpepper fridge in our lobby.
He is now cut off. https://t.co/C9tj5wQ6tD pic.twitter.com/6PH6HCFSoJ

That’s just cold. But considering a good Dr Pepper was wasted, the tough love is warranted.
Being cut off is probably not as bad as this:
@tedcruz, you're just going to force @BenSasse to drink it hot, which would be even worse. pic.twitter.com/7Pyrbyv6qS

I don’t get it.

I guess I’m just stupid because I followed your link and I still don’t get it.
It’s not a long-standing internet joke that Ted Cruz is actually the Zodiac Killer. His comms team have embraced it and now they joke about it too.
Perhaps snopercod isn’t old enough to remember the Zodiac and had difficulty grasping the inference? Then again a lot of people posting these days aren’t old enough to remember the Zodiac.
So what does the Zodiac Killer have to do with Dr. Pepper, please?
Wasn’t Kemberlee a stalwart supporter of the natural-born Canadian (or Cuban) a little more than a year ago?
Actually, I remember hot Dr Pepper, and it wasn’t half bad…
It’s intriguing.
Thanks for not putting a period after “Dr” in this story.
I’m a native Texan. I know how this works 😉
I actually drank one of Sen. Cruz’s Dr. Pepper’s one time. I was in the Senate office building last December (can’t remember which one it was) and saw it as my chance to get to meet him. I knocked on his office door and a staffer answered. Sadly, he had already gone home on Christmas vacation, but the young man offered me a Dr. Pepper. I choose Cherry. Should have stuck with the original, but it was still pretty cool!
