During a Sunday appearance on NBC News’ “Meet the Press,” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) prompted laughter in the studio after he pushed President Donald Trump’s thoroughly debunked conspiracy theory about Ukrainian election interference.
Ted Cruz has fallen into line. That’s a nonstory. But for the crew of a Republican-apologist like Chuck Todd to laugh out loud at Cruz is something. This gives me hope that the Democratic strategy on impeachment is paying some dividends, at least with the segment of Americans that aren’t brainwashed.
“Do you believe Ukraine meddled in the American election in 2016?” asked “Meet the Press” host Chuck Todd.
“I do, and I think there’s considerable evidence of that,” Cruz replied.
There’s the problem right there. “Do you believe”? Chuckie should have asked him “What evidence do you have to support your belief?” This is gone on for far too long for some reporter or Democratic lawmaker to say “Put up, or shut up”.
As Senator Kennedy keeps say “you have your opinion,” well show us the beef!
So the question becomes: which Republican has prostituted himself/herself more in the service of the Traitor-in-Chief?
A) Ted Cruz
B) Nikki Haley
C) Andy McCarthy
D) Lindsey Graham
E) Jonathan Turley
Trick question: they ALL have, plus innumerable other Rethugs.
Please also note that I did not include Shill Barr nor the Traitor Turtle, Moscow Mitch; those to traitors do it because that’s who they are – it has little to do with the Traitor-in-Chief.
"With Cruz attempting to defend Donald Trump’s honor with regard to his Ukraine scandal, the incredulous Todd brought up Trump attacking Cruz’s wife, accusing him of an extramarital affair and saying he may not have been born in the U.S. during the 2016 campaign.
I appreciate you dragging up all that garbage, that’s very kind of you,” Cruz shot back.
Is it not possible that this president is capable of creating a false narrative about somebody in order to help him politically?” Todd pressed
Except that’s not what happened,” Cruz said, before accusing the press of playing “a game.”
Cruz then cited an op-ed from a former Ukrainian ambassador as proof of their interference, to which Todd replied, “You’re saying a pick-pocket, which essentially is a Hill op-ed, compared to Bernie Madoff and Vladimir Putin. You are trying to make them both seem equal. I don’t understand that.”
