Ted Cruz: ‘Political Correctness Is Killing People’ [VIDEO]

Sen. Ted Cruz blasted Barack Obama’s handling of ISIS suggesting “political correctness is killing people.”

Tuesday, during the CNN GOP debate, Cruz argued, “It’s not a lack of competence that is preventing the Obama administration from stopping these attacks. It is political correctness.”

Ted Cruz: Let me go back to the earlier discussion a minute ago. It’s not a lack of competence that is preventing the Obama administration from stopping these attacks. It is political correctness. We didn’t monitor the Facebook posting of the female San Bernardino terrorist because the Obama DHS thought it would be inappropriate she made a public call to Jihad and they didn’t target it. The Tsarnaev brothers, the elder brother made a public call to Jihad and the Obama administration didn’t target it. Nidal Hasan communicated with Anwar al-Awlaki a known, radical cleric asked about waging Jihad against his fellow soldiers. The problem is because of political correctness, the Obama administration, like a lot of folks here, want to search every one’s cell phones and emails and not focus on the bad guys and political correctness is killing people.

Funny. He sounds just like Trump. I believe Trump coined this debate response in the August 6th debate when answering Megyn’s stupid attacks in reference to Rosie O’Donnell. Nice try Isara. Donald leads, all others follow...

Sen. Cruz is still my candidate of choice but I was really disappointed that not one of those nine brought up this example of idiotic and lethal "political correctness." (I put it in quotes because I don't think PC is the real reason for it.)

Whistleblower: My intel might have stopped San Bernardino

A year into the investigation, the State Department and the DHS Civil Rights Division told Haney that tracking these groups and individuals was problematic because they were Islamic groups. Haney reports that internal memos forbade him from developing any cases based on this profile.

His investigation was shut down, and many of his records were deleted, including evidence about a suspicious group as well as specific individuals tied to the mosque in Riverside, California, that Farook attended.

Yes he did, but the Cruzites are going to claim that Ted said it first. LOL

Trump has said a LOT of great things, that others have purloined and said as though his thoughts/stances were theirs, but which they once poo pooed.

Trump said it first, early and often. Nice work, Ted.
