When asked if Trump’s racially-charged rhetoric may hurt his chances in 2020, Sen @tedcruz doesn’t directly answer: “I wish he would say things differently. I don't have the power to change that.”
@MargaretHoover follows up: “I’m going to take it as yes.” #FiringLineShowPBS pic.twitter.com/WCEeNyr3sI— Firing Line with Margaret Hoover (@FiringLineShow) July 19, 2019
What he said was not racist.
That the Dems will fall all over themselves defending the governor of Virginia and Biden who have said actually racist things while we can’t even get an iota of support from within the GOP is damning
Uh, ‘racially charged rhetoric’? Yeah, charged. Found innocent. Next. Buehler?!
Cruz still has the operant conditioning of the Ivy League, swamp etc...
If he’s not going to help, I wish Ted Cruz would shut up.
Cruz continues to be an nasty, unlikable POS.
Cruz should move back to Canada. He is a worthless POS.
Can ANYONE provide one instance of Trump’s “racially charged rhetoric?” One would think that someone in The Stupid Party” would ask the question. Of wait, that’s why they’re stupid.
Firing Line. The biggest liberal puke show on public television.
Whats up with all the Cruz posts today?
All scripted.
Rafael’s and the Fraud’s handlers have the same goals against America.
After all, “NBC is a flawed concept”, right, Hussein Heads?
Trump used his rhetoric to assist Cruz in getting re-elected. I’ll never forgive Cruz for his behavior at the 2016 Convention.
Moron Cruz should have said, “The president’s comments were not racist. But those four left-wing members of Congress have made racist comments.”
You will never be president, Saint Ted. If it weren’t for the president helping you and campaigning for you in Texas, you might not even be a senator today.
So shut up.
I think that Cruz just can’t accept losing to Trump and is bothered by how Trump messed with him. I still get a chuckle whenever I think of President Trump asking about Cruz’s dad having lunch with Lee Harvey Oswald.
Can’t trust Ted Snake Cruz one iota.
Lying Cruz is baaaaack. He does better when he keeps out of the headlines.
I emailed Ms Hoover yesterday.
Dear Ms. Hoover,
I have been a fan of your show since it started, but I was deeply disappointed in your conduct during the interview with Senator Ted Cruz.
You referred to President’s Trump recent tweets as “clearly racist” or “racist” multiple times. I have read those tweets and there is no reference, directly or indirectly, to race. In my experience, I have heard the sentiments which the President expressed directed to people of ALL RACES who had derogatory feelings and hostility toward our country. Have you ever heard the patriotic adage “AMERICA - LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT”? Do you consider that racist also?
I guess as a CNN commentator, you get bonus points for perpetuating these lies to the American people. I was, however, relieved to see a poll that most Americans DO NOT consider the tweets racist, despite the FAKE NEWS hysteria in which you participated.
Now that I have concerns about your objectivity, I’m not sure whether I can continue to watch “Firing Line”.
Canadian Cruz.
