Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz made this disgusting ‘joke’ at a recent conservative political conference.

The dude creepily giggles (and the audience joins in) after admitting to beating his wife. Yeah, ‘cuz domestic violence is apparently hilarious. 

How could anyone want to vote this misogynistic scumsack into office??

Basically, the premise is the question “Have you stopped beating your wife?” And there’s no answer that doesn’t incriminate you. “Yes” means you used to beat your wife. “No” means you currently beat your wife.

He answered with “No I have not stopped beating my wife” to insinuate that, for a lot of public figures, there is no right way to answer a question. ESPECIALLY if you’re a politician. Someone will always twist your words.
