AP photo shows a gun pointed at Ted Cruz’s head

[Jack T. Cross]

Do you think this shows the Cruz camp are a bunch of idiots, Straw?

Could it be that's why you'd want to believe something so unlikely?

yes, but that's besides the point

I think I've said a few times now that they can't micromanage every possible camera angle in every location and I don't think they gave it a first or second thought

And so, last night, the AP’s director of media relations Paul Colford released a statement explaining the photograph, but not apologizing:

Presidential candidate Ted Cruz was shown in a series of 14 photos taken by an Associated Press photographer at a ‘Celebrate the 2nd Amendment’ event Saturday afternoon, held at a shooting range in Johnston, Iowa. Five of the photos published by AP included images of guns seen on a wall in the background so that it appeared a pistol was pointed at Sen. Cruz’s head. The images were not intended to portray Sen. Cruz in a negative light.

No way this goofy looking doofus has a pray in hell of winning the nomination

I don't see any issue here

guns don't kill people and pictures of guns painted on wall obviously don't kill any people either

wtf ?
