"Hold on now, I don't know what Donald Trump said but Heidi went to Kenya as a child and now works at Goldman Sachs so let me speak on this."

“I wasn't in the meeting with the president so I don’t know what he did or didn't say. I can tell you my family, Heidi as a child lived in Africa, she lived in Kenya and Nigeria. Her parents were missionaries there. My brother-in-law has been a missionary with his wife and sons in Haiti for many years,” Cruz said.
President Trump denied using the vulgarity.
“The language used by me at the DACA meeting was tough, but this was not the language used. Never said anything derogatory about Haitians other than Haiti is, obviously, a very poor and troubled country,” Trump tweeted Friday morning.
Cruz said the approach he tries to take in Washington is to stay out of the nastiness, attacks and insults and focus on substance and results instead.
Cruz and Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner were both asked to respond to the president’s reported statement during a news conference about tax breaks and federal funding for Harvey flood victims.
“The comments were highly unfortunate and shameful. We are an inclusive society. Every person has value. Every community is important and we should be lifting up and not tearing down,” Turner said.

I have an idea!
Let’s pretend Trump said something we don’t like, then attack him for the imaginary thing we say he said!
Ted was born in Canada. He just can’t help it.
"Hold on now, I don't know what Donald Trump said but Heidi went to Kenya as a child and now works at Goldman Sachs so let me speak on this."
These people have spines made of wet linguini. I like what he said because it is true. If these people were from good countries, then they wouldn’t be trying to get out.
St Ted from Canada speaks!
First off, Conversations in the Oval Office and meetings has always been private. This is another Tradition Leftist have destroyed.
Yes teddy, you will Never be President.
“””””St Ted from Canada speaks!””””””
He’s a hoser, eh, Jim.
Cruz truly cannot help himself. Whenever the Democrats are piling on Trump, Cruz HAS to figure out a way of piling on. His Trump-hate is never far from the surface.
There’s a reason Lyin’ Rafael is not president.
Cruz wasn’t taking the bait. He said that President Trump tries to stay above the fray and focus on results.
It was the commie homo supporting mayor of Houston who said that President Trump was evil, bad, racist, bigoted, etc.

Let’s pretend that turd world countries are wonderful places to live
And yet people thought this guy (Ted) would make a great prez!
What many Americans don’t realize is that there are many people living in effluent countries who regard the USA as a sh*thole country. Arriving for the first time in America from a homogeneous society one could easily be confused and think to have arrived in some African nation. There are many Europeans who, after having lived in the US legally for many years, decide to return to their country of origin. The bad perception that some Americans may have about other nations works in either direction. Why do you think that there are so many Americans living in Europe and elsewhere who have been there since WWII and never bothered coming home?
They don’t care. They’ve been played when it comes to Cruz and they bought it hook, line and sinker. I rarely post on FR anymore.
Concentrate on your re-election, Ted.
Leave the big decisions for the Adults.
Cruz wasn’t taking the bait. He said that President Trump
tries to stay above the fray and focus on results.
*********
Exactly. Cruz didn’t respond to their bait and only offered a snip.
,,,,“I wasn’t in the meeting with the president so I don’t know

Cruz said the approach he tries to take in Washington is to
stay out of the nastiness, attacks and insults and focus on
substance and results instead.

I’m not a Cruz supporter by far but I don’t see where he was
anything but forthcoming and accurate in his statement. JMO
