On Thursday, Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) took a swipe at Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX), saying that Cruz was “defending Nazis” after Cruz referenced a parent who gestured with a Nazi salute at a school board meeting in order to point out that the incidents in the NSBA letter that seemingly precipitated Attorney General Merrick Garland’s memo targeting parents at school board meetings were largely non-violent incidents.

Cruz fired back, “You are frequently a liar (when you’re not sleeping with Chinese spies).”

He added, “But here, you’re (sic) lie is exactly 180 degrees false. I was defending the right of citizens to denounce authoritarian policies. In other words, to OPPOSE Nazis (or petty tyrants), not to support them.”

This is how to fight!!!

One of the benefits of Donald Trump as president is that he showed Pubbies how to fight.

Cruz fired back, “You are frequently a liar (when you’re not sleeping with Chinese spies).”

Sorry, I have to disagree with Ted. How does he know swallwell isn't lying even when he's laying with Ho Ni Pot?

[Army Air Corps]

Ping.

[bray]

Swallowell trying to match wits with Cruz is like a mosquito against a tank.

[bwest]

The first sentence is almost unreadable.

[D Rider]

Trump handing Cruz’s a$$ back to him during the 2016 primary has been good for Cruz. He has always had the intellect, but really lacked the ability to make strong punches to the face. He really ought to thank the Donald, if he hasn’t already.

Zing!!

My English teacher would have me after school for an hour attempting to explain every fault in that sentence.

Though taken slowly, it is a logical progression

Cruz is one of the very best Senators. Too bad he doesn’t want a SCOTUS appointment. He’d be another Scalia. Dershowitz called Cruz the most brilliant law student he ever had for a reason.

[PalominoGuy]

I want him to run for Pres and then join the Supremes where he can quote the entire Constitution to them in orals.... ymmv...

[Ford4000]

Swallwell is apparently too stupid to see that the parent was calling the board (member?) Nazis.

[nesnah]

Swalwell came to a battle of wits unarmed.

[noiseman]

Swalwell is an idiot, but I suspect he knew exactly what he was doing in this case. It’s not the first time that dems have deceitfully claimed that conservatives were using Nazi symbols or supporting Nazism when they were actually using those symbols to protest leftists for acting like Nazis.

[Kid Shelleen]

This exchange epitomizes Leftist vs Conservative debate.

Dutch Oven Swalwell goes immediately with a slanderous personal attack trivializing the millions that suffered under the NAZIs.

Cruz responds accurately citing Swalwell's factual relationship and support for a totalitarian regime that has its own concentration camps, slaves and political prisoners.

[DesertRhino]

AT least he doesn’t rip farts on TV.

[Shark24]

One of the nicest scenes from the primaries is when Melania was shown being kind to Cruz’s kids. Good moment.
