WATCH: Ted Cruz shuts down animal rights protester

Now THIS is how it’s done! Here’s Ted Cruz at an event in Illinois last night getting into it with a protester demanding “ANIMAL LIBERATION NOW”:

Cruz also made a pretty funny joke that’s not on the clip:

.@tedcruz tries to make light of animal rights protester, says his daughters like puppies and if they were here they may stand with her

And after Cruz debated her, she was escorted out:
