During a Heritage Action speech on energy policy Monday, Sen. Ted Cruz told the audience that he re-read former President Jimmy Carter’s 1977 address to the nation on energy.
“Why?” asked an audience member.
“Because I’m a glutton for punishment,” Cruz jokingly replied.
“It’s worth re-reading Carter’s speech because I’m pretty sure every single word in the entire speech is wrong — including ‘and’ and ‘the,’ ” the Texas Republican said, comparing current government energy policies to “That ’70s Show” with Ashton Kutcher.
