No, Ted Cruz did not blame Donald Trump for #BrusselsAttacks
Trevor Loudon's New Zeal Blog ^ | 3-22-2016 | renee nal

Posted on 03/22/2016 5:57:46 PM PDT by Citizen Zed

In the wake of the attacks in Brussels, Ted Cruz said in part:

“Donald Trump is wrong that America should withdraw from the world and abandon our allies. Donald Trump is wrong that American should retreat from Europe, retreat from NATO, hand Putin a major victory and while he’s at it hand ISIS a major victory.”

Trumpsters, of course, took Cruz’s comments as a personal insult to Trump, saying that Cruz “blamed” Trump for the Islamic terror attack in Brussels.

Pro-Putin conspiracy theorists InfoWars posted a video quoting Cruz saying “It is striking that the day after Donald Trump called for weakening NATO, withdrawing from NATO, we see Brussels, where NATO is headquartered, the subject of a radical Islamic terror attack.”

The video left out the rest of Cruz’s quote stating that Trump is “wrong that American should retreat from Europe, retreat from NATO, hand Putin a major victory and while he’s at it hand ISIS a major victory.”

But the headline chaser certainly tried to associate the two when there was no reason to. Other than petty politics by a flailing campaign.

Nice of the article to misrepresent the criticism of Ted Cruz. The actual comment at issue, left out of the article is:

“It is striking, on the day after Donald Trump called for America weakening NATO, withdrawing from NATO we see Brussels, where NATO is headquartered, the subject of a radical Islamic terrorist attack.”

So yes, sure. Cruz doesn’t use the words “Donald Trump is to blame”, but the fact that in the wake of a terrible incident like this, he said Donald Trump’s name a bunch of times and also implicated that somehow, support for NATO will stop idiotic open borders policies of Europe letting in ISIS does mean that he’s a desperate moron and has no principles whatsoever.

It appears that NATO is becoming the army of the United Nations. That’s a problem.

The old shuck and jive now. He didn’t “blame” Trump. He just said NATO is in Brussels and that proves why we need to carry the load for NATO and not charge Europe as Trump said.

So Teddy bear border boy didn’t “lie”, he parsed. Typical.

Lying??? It’s all over the news. They have Cruz on tape attacking Trump for Brussels terrorist attack.

What are you talking about????

If anyone Lyin’ it is Cruz.

I guess the Cruz team ran a poll to only find out it backfired on them.

Cruz needs to quit listening to the Nazi collaborator Kapo Soros for advise.

I watched twice just to know for sure.

And yes, the sleazeball clearly did.

This author is doing the same kind of adjustment to history as the Russians did.

He linked the two, when he should have kept his mouth shut and backed out of campaign mode while the bodies were still warm.

There was a time and place for his comments. Cruz just chose the wrong one. Period.

Isn’t Loudon a buddy of Glenn Beck’s?

WHY THE HELL is Cruz talking about Trump when responding to the terror attacks?

I would hope that Beck wouldn’t affect him so much - I guess I was wrong.

Never held a private sector job, graduated from Harvard, constitutional scholar, lawyer, junior senator, foreign born, hides his real name, hid his nationality during his senate run, repeatedly failed to vote as senator, and immediately began seeking the office of president once elected.
