Ted Cruz schooled Colin Kaepernick after Kaepernick tried to quote Frederick Douglass out of context. Cruz provided the context showing how basically it showed the opposite of Kaepernick’s attack on America.

But that apparently wasn’t permissible to NY Times editorial board member Mara Gay:

Frederick Douglass is an American hero, and his name has no business in your mouth. https://t.co/Ghoqb75gJF

Because the NY Times thinks they have the right to tell Americans who they can and cannot quote.

But Ted Cruz responded:

Let’s see. You’re on the editorial board of the NYT. You respond to any view you don’t like, not with facts or reason, but w/ ad hominem attack. And you seem dismayed that I linked to Douglass’s entire speech, so readers can judge for themselves. You represent your employer well. https://t.co/c8168yiCgY
