U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz is implying that a CNN analyst has taken a flight of fancy, as it were, by perhaps analogizing the “Let’s Go Brandon” meme with “Long Live ISIS.”
The Texas Republican tweeted out that “@cnn is deranged. And no, as a factual matter, supporting genocidal religious zealots is not the same as disagreeing with the current President.”
Cruz was reacting to a tweet from CNN’s Asha Rangappa, a former FBI agent who teaches at prestigious Yale University, who wrote the following: “As an experiment, I’d love for an @SouthwestAir pilot to say ‘Long live ISIS’ before taking off. My guess is that 1) the plane would be immediately grounded; 2) the pilot fired; and 3) a statement issued by the airline within a matter of hours.”
