To be fair, the actual quote is "Some of the darkest 24 hours in our nations history".

So not worse than Pearl Harbor, but just as bad?

It is so stupid I have a hard time believing he really said that or if it was different in context. That is stupid even for him.
To be fair, Berkut did crop the quote in a way that is marginal at best.  The real quote is:  "Today is some of the darkest 24 hours in our nation's history."  Stupid, yes, but regular GOP stupid.

Though he qualifies it as "some of the darkest ... ". So it is just on par with Pearl Harbor, 9/11 etc., not worse than.  ;)

In the histories to come, we will trace the destruction of the US to the fateful decision of the George W Bush administration to focus on Afghanistan and Iraq after 9/11, rather than The Gays.

No it doesn't.

Maybe "the past 24 hours are among the worst 24 hours in American history."

But then again he's Canadian so you have to cut him slack.

That was an expected thing for a somebody like Ted Cruz to say.

Well given those options it is more likely to be the gays.

I just found out that Mr Ted Cruz is a current US senator.  I would have thought that he should be more careful than that :blink:

Yup.  He said that today is about 2 or 3 of the 24 darkest hours.
