Ted Cruz prefers a Texas-style method of cooking bacon.
In a new video posted on IJReview, the Lone Star State senator and GOP presidential candidates demonstrates how to prepare breakfast by wrapping strips of bacon around the muzzle of a gun and firing.
Cruz looks like a pretty good shot, but the bacon doesn’t appear particularly crispy. Perhaps he can spare a few bucks from that campaign war chest he keeps bragging about and pick up a cast-iron skillet.
