Cruz jokes about locking up Beto O'Rourke in 'double-occupancy cell' with Clinton
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R) joked at a campaign rally that his opponent in the state's Senate race, Rep. Beto O'Rourke(D), could join 2016 Democratic nominee Hillary Clintonin a "double-occupancy" prison cell.
The senator responded with the jab at Clinton to a rally audience member's call to "lock him up!", reportedly referring to O'Rourke, according to multiple reports.
"Well, you know, there's a double-occupancy cell with Hillary Clinton," Cruz said at a rally in Georgetown, Texas, north of Austin, alongside fellow Sen. John Cornyn(R-Texas). He then added: "Y'all are gonna get me in trouble with that."
