On Sunday’s broadcast of CBS’s “Face the Nation,” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said it was not appropriate for President Donald Trump to ask China to investigate 2020 presidential candidate and former Vice President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden regarding his business ties.
Partial transcript as follows:
MARGARET BRENNAN: So China’s a- a surveillance state. Is it appropriate for President Trump to be saying–
CRUZ: Yeah.
BRENNAN: –China should look into the Biden family? Is that appropriate?
CRUZ: I- look, of course not. Elections in the U.S. should be decided by- by Americans and it’s not the business of- of foreign countries, any foreign countries, to be interfering in our elections.
BRENNAN: Even Ukraine? I mean when you’re talking about some of this, I mean do you think that- say the president’s personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, who’s been talking about China, who’s been talking about Ukraine. Do you want to hear him testify about this sort of shadow foreign policy?
CRUZ: Listen, foreign countries should stay out of American elections. 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- I don’t know what Rudy’s been saying. I- I do know though that we should decide our elections. It should be the American people making those decisions.
BRENNAN: And you do want him to testify before your committee?
CRUZ: I think it’d make a lot of sense for Rudy to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee. That’s- that’s ultimately a question for the committee chairman, Lindsey Graham. But- but I’d like to see Rudy testify. Yes.

Stick it up your whazoo, Ted.
It’s everybody’s duty when they see crime and corruption going uninvestigated, to bring someone’s attention to it...even the office of the President of the United States. If he can’t recommend that questionable acts by Americans in foreign countries be looked into by those countries, then who has the right to do so?
Goldman Sachs pays the family two cool millions every three years.
I wonder if Canuck Ted has received some dirty money channeled thru Ukraine, Romania or China?
“The loudest are usually the most guilty.”
Why Republicans continue to go on these obsolete Sunday shows is beyond me. They can easily set up a podcast with people like Sara Carter or Sharyl Atkinsson and get far more viewers.
Go diddle with Alyssa Milano, you greasy traitor.
Ted Cruz says Trump “wisely” released Ukraine call transcript, saying it didn’t show an illegal quid pro quo.
AND recommends Trump now release Joe Biden’s transcripts of the then-VP’s calls with Ukraine during Obama admin. https://t.co/Jh9KnswnWJ— Jennifer Jacobs (@JenniferJJacobs) October 13, 2019
Does an American citizen getting 1.5 billion dollars from any other country mean nothing to him.
He really is NOT as smart as I once thought he was.
Perhaps he should think about the Private Sector.
Hillary and the dems do this ALL the time. Here is just 1 example
You're not supposed to ask that question.
President Trump is disrupting a patronage system enjoyed by both parties that rewarded their children with high-paying, do-nothing positions on foreign boards in exchange for political favors.
It's the Swamp and it's rotten to the core.
Give Ted a break. He is a Cubanadian. They don’t understand our laws.
Pompous Ted couldn’t figure out Trump was trolling.
Ted and Paul Ryan would make a cute couple on CNN.
How's your wife's plan for the North American Union coming along, Ted? Does the unrestricted flow of illegal immigrants need a precedent for the President not being able to ask for or dicker for help from another nation without the wise men in the Senate giving him a hall pass first?
The RINO King comes out of the woodwork to defend the Bidens, how quaint. Gee, I feel so bad that he didn’t become president. Talk radio did right selling out to this puke before the election. Great plan, DemoRats, talk radio people always do what they’re told by Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin, right?
It wasn’t about the election, it was about CRIME.
Imagine a world where Republicans stuck together like Democrats. Oh well, just a fantasy thought.
But totally appropriate to dig through Trump’s tax returns to see what dirt they can dig up; or make up.
