What Happened When Ted Cruz Told Girl, 3, the 'World's on Fire'

BARRINGTON, N.H.) -- Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, came face to face with one of his littlest questioners yet in New Hampshire when he had to explain to a 3-year-old girl why the "world's on fire."

“The Obama economy is a disaster. Obamacare is a train wreck, and the Obama Clinton foreign policy of leading from behind. The whole world’s on fire,” Cruz said at an event in Barrington, New Hampshire on Sunday.

That’s when a little girl, who the Concord Monitor identified as 3-year-old Julie Trant, interrupted the senator’s speech with a voice full of astonishment.

“The world’s on fire?” Trant said.

Her interjection drew laughter from the crowd, and Cruz repeated his claim -- but offered assurances to the young girl that her mother and others are working to make the world safe.

“The world’s on fire. Yes. Your world’s on fire,” he said to more laughter. “But you know what your mommy’s here and everyone’s here to make sure that the world you grow up in is even better."

Zane Andrew, the YouTube user who posted the exchange, said the little girl wasn't frightened by Cruz's statement.

"I was there, right behind this little girl, and she wasn't frightened in the least," Zane Andrew wrote on the video page. "As a matter of fact, she was smiling and looking around, and after, when the Senator went on with his speech, the little girl just went back to calmly playing games on a phone. She wasn't upset at all."
