Ted Cruz’s “Passionate” and “Slightly NSFW” Speech About Queso Will Either Earn Your Respect or Violate You

The face Ted Cruz makes about queso.

Apparently there is no in between here.

In a taste test between Arkansas cheese dip and Texas queso, Ted Cruz spent 41-seconds talking about how much he loves queso… Forty one seconds that have been described on a scale from inspiring to vomit-inducing to “slightly NSFW”.

Others have said Cruz straight up ruined queso for them forever.

Warning: This video could ruin queso for you forever.

Specifically because it was Ted Cruz, many reacted in horror at never being able to look at queso the same way again.

Although others said it was one of the best speeches Cruz has ever given.
