Following the attacks in New York, New Jersey and Minnesota over the weekend, Senator Ted Cruz wants to stop the flow of refugees from coming into the United States.
On Monday, Cruz released the following statement that said, in part:
We must start by fully supporting our law enforcement community, from the heroic off-duty officer Jason Falconer, who neutralized the terrorist in the St. Cloud mall, saving many lives, to the FBI officers in New York who have worked swiftly to identify and apprehend the likely mastermind of the weekend bombings. We also desperately need the active participation of American Muslims who see the jihadis for what they are: the enemies of all who celebrate freedom and tolerance. Congress should act to prevent Americans who have travelled abroad for training from returning here, and to stop the flow of refugees from hotbeds of terrorism in the Middle East that President Obama is determined to bring to our country. We can’t overcome our enemies by pretending they don’t exist, and undermining our first line of defenders. Only together, clear-eyed and determined, can we defeat this foe.
Cruz proposed a similar plan last year called the Terrorist Refugee Infiltration Prevention Act.
Hey, Ted. Remember the pledge? ... Still waiting.
Venture to guess McConnell and Ryan WON’T be helpful.
Yeah! Get on the Trump train if you truly care about this Cruz!!
Maybe Cruz should just support Trump. Obviously he has a lot in common with him. But he’s too much of a pajama boy special snowflake. We should send him a couple emotional medkits.
Well then Ted, how about endorsing, and working for, the candidate who has already made that a key part of his platform?
Oops, sorry Ted. Better not do that. It might lessen your own chances of becoming president. Because if Trump wins in 2016, you'll have to wait eight long years to try again for the White House.
Better that you endorse no one in 2016. After all, that's what Quislings do. They put their own careers first. The nation does not matter.
A man is only as good as his word, Ted.
How about starting out by acting like a man with integrity for a change, Turd Cruz?
Ted, Ted, Ted. It’s not Trump’s fault you were born in Canada. So, let’s try again:
“We must start by
—putting our full support behind our nominee, Donald J. Trump—
and we must fully support our law enforcement community.”
now, was that so hard?
Lyn’ Ted is history. He failed at everything he attempted in the Senate. Utter failure. And he is traitor and liar to the party. He’ll kill this by his association.
Blah, blah, blah.
Where’s the endorsement you pledged in writing, to bestow upon the Republican nominee, you jerk?
Jumping on the red meat bandwagon won’t cut it, Ted.
 "I swear." (He pulled a Jebber.) |
Teddy sure has a lot of time on his hands while not trying to convince Never Trump traitors to stop Hillary
At least he didn't say 'alleged' mastermind.
I remember the days when everyone on FR loved him.
“How about starting out by acting like a man with integrity for a change, Turd Cruz?”
I still think he’s the reincarnation of LBJ.
