“Of course in Texas, we cook bacon a little differently than most folks,” says Sen. Ted Cruz in the opening seconds of a new video posted by the Independent Journal Review. We then see someone wrap a piece of raw bacon around the barrel of a semi-automatic, along with a piece of foil, before Cruz fires several shots at a target. Cruz shows us the grease on the ground from the cooked bacon, unwraps the foil, and takes a bite. “MMMM! Machine gun bacon,” Cruz says with a laugh.
