Samantha Bee really doesn't care for certain members of the Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) fan club.
"We are off this week reading all your angry tweets about how we're off this week, but we've made you a present — Ted Cruz," she said.
Cruz has been enjoying a surge of popularity with "literally several people saying they'll guess they'll vote for him if they have to." Bee then introduced several men of faith who support Cruz. One example: Colorado pastor Kevin Swanson, who appears in a video clip declaring "Homosexuals are worthy of death!"
"Wow," Bee said. "For a guy who hates gay people, Swanson's got some fabulous dance moves." Check them out for yourself:
Other Cruz fans included the Rev. Flip Benham, who was once caught on camera confronting worshippers outside a mosque and screaming, "Jesus hates Muslims!" and pastor Mike Bickle, a person known for his sickening, anti-Semitic comments.
"And by the way, when Democrats start calling for the execution of gays and Muslims, I promise I will hit them just as hard," Bee said.
