Exorcising your freedom of speech... February 8, 2016 5:27 pm RL

RAYMOND, N.H. — Ted Cruz had just started delivering his stump speech at a tavern when two young men interrupted, wielding mirrors and a wooden cross.

“Ted Cruz look in the mirror and let the evil spirit depart!” said one of the men, shouting, “He’s possessed by a demon!”

People began booing. Cruz made a quip about the Bernie Sanders campaign trying to disrupt him. The man and his less theatrical partner kept on, as a policeman shooed them toward an exit at Tuckaway Tavern and Butchery.

“He’s possessed by a demon! The demon has to leave. That’s why the body is so disgusting to look at!” the man said. Why the mirror? So “the evil can confront itself. Evil body! Evil spirit. Look yourself in the mirror!” he shouted.

Reporters followed them to the door, pressing for their names, which they declined to give. As performance artists they stayed in character – the character being that of agitated, nauseated exorcist.

“We just had to get rid of the evil spirit. I hope it works,” the man said, acting as though a belch or barf were building. “He’s very hard to be in the same room with. We had to exorcise some sort of disgusting evil spirit. There’s a reason that the body is so haggard and disgusting, and the face, and it’s all so weathered and gross and hard to look at.

“And it’s because he’s possessed by a demon. Being in the room with evil so close, it’s just hard to even comprehend. The evil is so deep rooted and maybe if it had to confront itself ,” he said — at which point he doubled over and began to retch.

His buddy offered comfort. And eventually they opened the door and walked into the snow.

“Fresh air! Oh he’s so horrid!”
