But Did Cruz Ever Insult The President to HIS Face?
But I would encourage you, Mr. President: “Come back and insult me to my face”, Mr. Cruz said, in video captured by NBC News. “I want to foster you, Mr. President, come back and insult me to my face”, Cruz stated today.
“I gotta tell ya…it is utterly un-befitting of the president to engage in those kinds of personal insults and attacks, and you know, he talked about…he was belittling the Republican field as scared”, Cruz blustered. “Most of the people have been saying we want to continue to work with refugees, that what happened in Paris…doesn’t reflect who refugees are”.
Reuters reported Wednesday that security officials in Honduras arrested five Syrian nationals who were trying to make their way to the United States using stolen Greek passports. “It’s easy to toss a cheap insult when no one can respond, but let’s have a debate”.
President Obama’s controversial comments claiming Republicans are merely afraid of “widows and orphans”, and not the ISIS terrorists who have vowed to infiltrate the wave of Syrian refugees who are being resettled around the globe. “That’s not American. That’s not who we are”, he said.
On the campaign trail, Cruz often makes a point to describe what he calls the persecution of Christians in Middle Eastern countries. Now they’re anxious about three-year-old orphans.
“It is very important for us right now, particularly those who are in leadership, particularly those who have a platform and can be heard, not to fall into that trap, not to feed that dark impulse inside of us”, Obama said.
Donald Trump indicated he wants to expel current Syrian refugees and Ben Carson said taking in Syrian refugees is a “suspension of intellect”.
Cruz’s father emigrated to the United States from Cuba and said he was the victim of brutal beatings at the hands of the Cuban dictator before Fidel Castro.
ABC News’ Jon Karl asked Cruz, the Republican presidential candidate, if he would bar Muslims but permit Christians to enter the U.S.
He said he’d consider any serious suggestions out there, regardless of where they came from, but wouldn’t put up with posturing.
Cruz’s position on the “religious test” drew the scorn of President Barack Obama on Monday, which called out Cruz by name at a press conference and said his position was “not American”.
Gov. Scott Walker was among the governors who stated that his home state wouldn’t welcome Syrian refugees. They are beheading Christians, and it is U.S. immigration law, existing statues, that give a special focus on people facing religious persecutions, and indeed, USA statue also has targeted, and Obama has signed this, Jews and Evangelical Christians that are being persecuted in certain countries.
The rising presidential candidate is aligning himself with the most restrictionist voices in the debate over how to handle the refugee crisis, which is dominating the Republican race after a deadly attack in Paris left more than 100 dead. Among the ones who leave, most flee to neighboring countries such as Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, and Iraq.
The GOP is not condemning Obama’s refugee plan for no good reason.
