Ted Cruz is getting burned by Twitter users after making a tasteless joke about the massive fire at Paris’ Notre Dame Cathedral.

On Wednesday, the Republican senator from Texas responded to a tweet announcing that Disney has pledged $5 million to help rebuild the cathedral with a “joke” about how its donation might affect the building.

Wonderful! Will we see Disney princesses in the new stained glass? https://t.co/al6W7bvFyb

The reaction? Let’s just say it went down in flames.

Turns out the destruction of the stained glass was incorrect, Senator Cruz.

Also, Disney throwing some of their Hunchback profits the way of Notre Dame is just good business sense and mighty decent of them.

Why do you hate the free market?

You’re almost as funny as you are creepy

This is a super weird angle to take. You only like large corporations donating to you? Is that the problem?

Isn’t farming out government responsibilities to private corporations your whole thing

I love when conservatives get so mad about their weird culture war grievances they start accidentally making Marxist arguments against privatization https://t.co/R6gPsi5zsC

imagine taking a genuinely good thing and then making the world's stupidest, most insensitive statement to commend it.
