Sen. Ted Cruz said Sunday that it was wrong for President Donald Trump to call on China to probe former Vice President Joe Biden and his son in the Texas Republican's most direct rebuke of the president yet." whether Trump's comments were"appropriate," Cruz said"of course not."
"Listen, foreign countries should stay out of American elections," Cruz said."That's true for Russia. That's true for Ukraine. That's true for China. That's true for all of them. It should be the American people deciding elections. I don't know what [Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani has] been saying. I do know though that we should decide our elections. It should be the American people making those decisions.
"If they want to look into something, they can look into it," the president continued."If they don't want to look into it, they don't have to. Frankly, are far as I'm concerned, if China wants to look into something, I think that's great. And if they don't want to, I think that's great too. That's up to China."
“This is Bill Clinton, and I’m quoting: ‘In a political season, it would be big over here to get this open sore resolved. If you could have somebody take a look at it.’ Tony Blair responded that he would.”
zsarrina What’s he planning?
That's quite a rebuke. Very brave
You paraphrased the question he was asked. Provide a direct quote.
The sack of wasps is one of the most single minded evil self interested fuck and if this is the way he thinks the wind is blowing it's definitely a big lol
Why not you fool
WHAAAAAT? Ted is stepping up!! Say it ain't so.
tedcruz will wait until Trump is fully under water before he really starts shitting on him. Because he’s afraid of trump.
I dislike him a little less, but as somebody has said he doesn't want Mitt to be the only 'good' republican if trump goes down. Does he know something? He wouldn't compromise himself otherwise. He's an a$ kissing weasel.
Keep it up Ted you may grow a backbone some day.
Obama was probing Cruz & Trump through rigged FISA warrents, FBI & C_A from 2015, maybe earlier. tedcruz realDonaldTrump
Meanwhile this:
Wolverine is right. He was also right when he tried to warn us about Trump's mob ties. A vote for Trump is a vote for organized crime.
It's OK GOP don't say anything against trump Don't redeem yourselves. This way you'll lose the House, Senate & Presidency and your party will be reduced to a backward regional rump party made up of ignorant ethnic cleansers! impeachNow
Ted didnt get ukraine money. they decided he was in a red state.
Anyone saying “he was just joking” need to remember this interview! 'I think I’d take it': In exclusive interview, Trump says he would listen if foreigners offered dirt on opponents - ABC News - via ABC
This guy will say anything to save his own skin.
Is Cruz eyeing the oval office again
When he was doing it to you guys. The GOP was quite. Now he is doing it to the whole country all in the name of making America great. 😂😂😂😂😂🐘
Give it a week, he’ll be back supporting Trump in a snap. Ted does so much pathetic flip-flopping, he ought to open a Sanuk Store on a beach boardwalk
Something must be up SenTedCruz sleeve. He kisses up to POTUS realDonaldTrump too much to believe this. Can't wait until the other side shows by either one of them
Did he get some share from the loot of taxpayer's money in Bidenextortiongate?
I bet he felt dirty and took a long shower after such a strongly worded statement.
No he wasn’t
That will not change Cruz’s sycophancy towards Trump at all. Just ask him if it was wrong for Trump to say his wife, Heidi, was ugly.
Is Cruz growing a pair?
If only there were something more tedcruz could do.
I like honesty. I don’t care what political party you embrace.
Is Ted growing a pair I doubt it!!!
Who the hell do U think U R. Hell no MF..Trump is the lying person who tried to get JB out of the race. He can’t beat JB that’s why he stooped to his usual dirty tactics.. U should be the last person to make such a foolish request. Not surprised. You had to pay Trump back.🐀🐀
Yeah sorry but if the democrats can investigate him with lies and false info from another country he sure as hell can ask China whom the Bidens had dealings with to look into them at least he’s doing it on the up and up and not hiding behind closed doors like the democrats
Primary challenge coming?
Who gives a ratsass what tedcruz says?
Oh really? But all the other crap is acceptable to this guy?
President Trump was Not asking for interference in our Election. He was asking for China’s assistance in exposing Biden’s family profiteering whilE Biden’s VP of the United States. Huge Difference!! Please pass legislation prohibiting ALL family Members not just spouses.
Spineless GrandpaMunster was ok with DonaldTrump calling his wife ugly and saying his father took part in Kennedy Asassination
SykesCharlie How long will it last?
Now what about Syria
Happy to agree with SenTedCruz Now impeach Trump, since he is doing the opposite of what Cruz is saying
Wow, Im amazed
SykesCharlie Yes, but TedCruz filled his shorts while saying it. Coward.
sweetsgrandma I wonder what contorted, perverted train of logic allowed him to come to a conclusion that is so obviously ethical and constitutional.
And it only took him months to come to that conclusion.
SykesCharlie And it only took him 10 days to figure it out. So principled.
tedcruz added that if this continues, he would seriously consider raising his eyebrow in opprobrious consternation.
SykesCharlie It kind of looks like the people that would take Trump's place in the presidential race are beginning to tell him that he is in fact an Idiot....
If our govt wont do it somebody should. Hillary said no one is above the law
You just shut your dirty mouth. It was okay to investigate Trump before and after 2016, involving the UK, Italy, Ukraine and Russian Dossier paid for by FBI, DNC and Clinton. Did not hear you protesting then, because Trump was guilty already...
It’s about time one of the GOP Critiqued Trump... they should be doing that every day to stop trumps terrible decisions. Did UPS done nothing but kiss his ass and forget the priorities that are running our country.
Something has to be done. Trump is getting into everyone’s lives. He holds grudges and wants to ruin people’s lives
Oh well, it's a start.
SykesCharlie He won’t do anything about it though ... he will stand behind trump til the bitter end ...
Wasn't it a joke? Like the joke about your wife?
The thing is, Trump did not call on, ask or demand that. It was a suggestion. HunterBiden is involved with an AI mass surveillance China biz. Human rights violations. He and his father should be probed, especially here in the US.
Why? Your feeding the left Ted. This president has gone through 3 years of constant threats from the Dems. Such hatred, He has had it, watching the hypocrisy. The left is getting away with everything they have accused him of doing. There is a war ahead and it’s not overseas!
Why are they afraid to check into the allegations against Biden? Don’t they want to know if it is true or not? Is their hatred for Trump more important?
SykesCharlie “But somehow, asking for foreign interference in American elections isn’t impeachable.”
In other news Rafael will still support everything trump tells him to support...
I'd say this was at best a D+ effort, but I found him to be too hesitant, too careful in weighing his words, too likely to backpedal, especially knowing his past record. He'll have to do better.
Interesting since his father helped Castro kill JFK, right realDonaldTrump ?
Smells a contest for 2020.
About time some Republicans grow a spine. tRump is only a man, nothing more, he can’t fire you, best to distance yourselves from has actions anyway.
If you apply Democrat standards, then BOTH Bidens are guilty. Especially now that hunter has stepped down from the CHINESE board.
If Trump gets impeached we’re just going to vote him back in for another eight years
I wish your coworkers would be as honest sir.
'direct rebuke'. that's funny.
Let's watch the bridge continue to fall
Tell Sen. Cruz that it President right per U.S. Constitution to do so! As he President duty see into any person group of any wrongdoing.
This is true, but Trump is out of control and mentally unfit for office!
Big bad Ted. Too little too late.
If only SenTedCruz knew someone who could do something about realDonaldTrump’s utter betrayal of America. Oh wait...
So what’s he going to do about it. Talk’s cheap. Grow a spine and take action.
SenTedCruz Was former VP wrong to threaten to withhold monies from Ukraine unless they fired the State Prosecutor?
Still an ass kissing double talker
Ted Cruz wouldn't have a bowel movement without the permission of his donors. The donor class may not be happy with Donald Trump.
Why they sold out America they have to be exposed. so you spelled Thank you Mr President wrong
