Inigo Montoya Powns Ted Cruz

In The Young Turks on YouTube by goko loco0 Comments

Ted Cruz has got a little schtick he does not he campaign trail. He recites scenes from the movie “The Princess Bride.” Actor Mandy Patinkin thinks he’s completely missing the point of the film. Cenk Uygur, host of the The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

““I would like to be with Senator Cruz for a moment and I would like to respectfully ask him, since he quotes all the lines from ‘The Princess Bride’ and certainly all of my character, Inigo Montoya’s, lines, I would like to know why he doesn’t quote my favorite line?” That line, Mr. Patinkin said, was among the last his character utters in a movie that essentially taught that love conquers all…

“After the princess flies out the window and falls into Andre the Giant’s arms,” Mr. Patinkin said, “Inigo says to the Man in Black, ‘I have been in the revenge business so long, now that it’s over, I don’t know what to do with the rest of my life.’”

Mr. Cruz, in Mr. Patinkin’s heavily left-leaning worldview, is trafficking in the revenge business, appealing to anxious voters by saying of the Islamic State, “We will carpet-bomb them into oblivion,” and by exploiting fears about immigrants and Muslims.”*
