Bill Clinton Accuses Ted Cruz of Making (Unspecified) False Statements
CNSNews ^ | September 29, 2013 | Terence P. Jeffrey

(CNSNews.com) - Former President Bill Clinton—who was impeached by the U.S. House of Representatives for perjury and obstruction of justice and held in contempt of court by U.S. District Judge Susan Webber Wright for giving “intentionally false” testimony—claimed to his former staffer George Stephanopoulos on ABC News’s “This Week With George Stephanopoulos” on Sunday that Sen. Ted Cruz made multiple false statements during his filibuster on the Senate floor last week.

“I listened to some of Sen. Cruz’s filibuster on the health-care bill and he just kept making all these claims that just aren’t so and everybody knows they’re not,” Clinton told his former aide.

Clinton did not specifically cite any false claim that he claims Cruz made on the Senate floor, nor did Stephanopoulos ask Clinton to give any examples of false statements by Cruz or in any way justify his assertion that Cruz had made such statements.

Clinton made the accusation against Cruz while explaining to Stephanopoulos why he thinks President Barack Obama and Senate Democrats should not give in to congressional Republicans on the question of delaying Obamacare.

“This is the House Republicans and the Tea Party people saying we don’t want to negotiate with the Democrats,” said Clinton. “We want to dictate over the Senate, over the House Democrats, over the Speaker of the House of our own party and over the president. We insist on dictating the course of the country.”

Stephanopoulos then asked: “So you’re saying you just have to stand up to that no matter what the consequences?”

“I do. I do,” said Clinton. “It’s terrible because all over the world people see like, you know---I listened to some of Sen. Cruz’s filibuster on the health-care bill and he just kept making all these claims that just aren’t so and everybody knows they’re not.”

Starting on Sept. 24 and running through noon on Sept. 25, Sen. Cruz held the Senate floor for 21 hours and 19 minutes to make the case to his colleagues and the country that Congress ought to use the continuing resolution needed to fund the government after midnight this Monday to defund the implementation of Obamacare.

Stephanopoulos worked on Bill Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign and then as a senior adviser to Clinton during his first presidential term.

Paraleipsis. Democrats avoid truth with this play on acceptance. Oh it is just too obvious to mention.
Media complicity shame on George for not demanding satisfaction.

It’s easy for a lying sack of dog excrement to accuse someone else of lying .. Kind of tough though to point out those lies, when there weren’t any.

OK Bill give us specifics.

Hey Bill Bite me.

Bill Clinton is a known LIAR I would not believe anything he says.

It must be bad in DC if the white rapist, a disbarred lawyer, has to be called in to lie for the Magic Negro.

Clinton has suddenly been resurrected to be Zer0’s pit bull?

In New York City, the Weiner crowd would be talking in terms of E-rected.

Cruz is done...Every Republican candidate that goes running to Hannity for strokes loses i.e. Giuliani, Bachmann, Cain, Gingrich, Palin, West etc.

“Everybody knows they’re not”? Great citation. I’ll bet his law school briefs were a hoot.

Do tell, newbie.

We'll see, but if I were you I wouldn't push Guiliani over Ted Cruz on this site (as per your short history), even if he should run with Sarah Palin as VP.

Cruz/Palin or Palin/Cruz will be a winner.
