2016 Presidential Election: 20 WTF Moments
12. Ted Cruz Eats Bacon Off A Machine Gun
In August 2015, Ted Cruz posted probably the most memorable and most distinctly American presidential campaign video, as he proceeded to make "machine gun bacon", by wrapping rashers of bacon around a machine gun, covering them with tin foil and firing off some rounds.
When he removed the foil, the bacon was cooked, and he wasted no time digging into it with a fork.
Say what you will about Cruz, but you kinda have to admire the guy just having a little fun with it. It was nothing if not memorable, but also, look at how he handled that gun. Something something Zodiac killer.
