Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) isn't backing off the tough rhetoric he's used to describe the Iran nuclear deal, despite criticism leveled by 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney on Thursday.
Cruz has steadfastly maintained that President Barack Obama's administration would become a leading state-sponsor of terror if the agreement it struck with Iran makes it past Congress. He and others have argued that Iran would use a windfall from sanctions relief to finance terror abroad.
Both Obama and Romney have called Cruz's remarks inappropriate.
Romney wrote on Twitter early Thursday that he also opposes the Iran deal, but said Cruz's comments were "way over the line on the Obama terrorism charge. Hurts the cause."
Cruz, 2016 presidential candidate, fired back at Romney in a Thursday radio interview with KFYO's Chad Hasty.
"So Mitt Romney's tweet today said, 'Gosh, this rhetoric is not helpful,'" Cruz said. "John Adams famously said, 'Facts are stubborn things.' Describing the actual facts is not using rhetoric; it is called speaking the truth."(continued)

The Country is sick of lilly-livered wimps! We want strength and pride in Country! Quit caring about wimps and their sissy polls and fears of offending every dang little group!
Man up and bring it!
What I remember the most about Romney is that sheepish smile when attacked face to face. He did not fiught back.
LOL!
Milt lost because he spent all of his time attacking conservatives so he could have the podium for himself when he bent over for Obama.
[”Part of the reason that Mitt Romney got clobbered by Barack Obama is because we all remember that third debate where Barack Obama turned to Mitt and said, ‘I said the Benghazi attack was terrorism and no one is more upset by Benghazi than I am.’ And Mitt, I guess listening to his own advice, said, ‘Well gosh, I don’t want to use any rhetoric. So OK, never mind. I’ll just kind of rearrange the pencil on the podium here,’” Cruz said.]
LOL
FUMR!! FUGOP-e!! Go, Cruz, GO!!
If Obama and Romney both called the remarks inappropriate the remarks must really be dead on the mark. Thanks for confirming that for us you bozos.
Doesn’t Cruz have better things to do than worry about what Romney is tweeting? If he doesn’t, he should drop out now.
Bring it Ted!
Trump Hillary slaps another RINO. Love it!
If Milt had attacked Obama half as hard as he attacked Repubs he would have won.
Pray America is waking
Who is Romney to have a say in anything concerning the GOP. he couldn’t win a election against Obama so does that make him a expert on things.
WTG Cruz.....keep slammin em.....woohoo.....
Cruz should challenge him to a debate. Just for practice.
I can’t prove it, but I have a strong feeling some of that windfall will find its way into the hands of a certain American political party, and its current leadership.
Myth is yesterday’s news. You getting this Ann Coulter?
Ted is working the press for coverage. His message will not get out if he is ignored. Like or not swatting zingers with passion and principle is the screen test in the media age. Ted is not letting Mitt hand the nomination over to Jeb by making the primary to be about who raised the most funds.
