The junior senator for the state of Texas launched a loaded new attack on his Democratic Party opponent, claiming that Democrats will ban barbecue if they win in November, the Austin American-Stateman reported Monday.

Highlights
- Speaking at a campaign event in South Texas, U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz said his Democratic rival would ban barbecue.
- Cruz has sought to portray U.S. Rep. Beto O’Rourke, D-El Paso, as out of touch with Texas values.

COLUMBUS — Tofu or not tofu? That is the question U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz has raised in his latest bid to create a cultural wedge issue between himself and U.S. Rep. Beto O’Rourke in their heated Senate race.

Appearing at a packed campaign event at Schobels Restaurant in the South Texas town of Columbus on Saturday, Cruz said, “When I got here someone told me that even PETA was protesting and giving out barbecued tofu, so I got to say, they summed up the entire election: If Texas elects a Democrat, they’re going to ban barbecue across the state of Texas.”

“You want to talk about an issue to mobilize the people, and I’m talking everybody,” Cruz said to appreciative laughter. “So I want to thank PETA and I do want to tell PETA you’re going to have to disclose to the FEC that by coming and protesting and giving away tofu, that you have given an in-kind contribution to my campaign by demonstrating just how bad things can get.”
