WATCH: Ted Cruz’s raw campaign footage

There has been no shortage of Ted Cruz coverage in the LGBT community. First, he attends a “Kill the Gays” rally, then he described the Planned Parenthood shooter as a “transgendered leftist activist” to pass the blame on anyone else but himself and the other Republican candidates, who have been spewing anti-abortion propaganda.

We would love to push this man to the back of our minds, but as he continues to make headlines and gain supporters, we have to keep our eyes on him. The old cliché, “keep your friends close but your enemies closer” has never been more fitting. So, we’ve watched as Ted released a cartoon of him getting in touch with his butch side in a boxing ring. At least we think it’s meant to be him, but, maybe, a much younger Ted.

It couldn’t get much sillier than this, right? Wrong.

Thanks to a ridiculous campaign finance law loophole, which allows candidates to pass on footage to their YouTube accounts, Cruz’s team uploaded an amazing 16 hours of raw footage where Cruz and his family show just how painful forced family time can be.

Thanks to the people at Gawker, we have some of the best moments in a completely awkward, cringe inducing highlight reel.
