Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) confronted former Nebraska Senator Chuck Hagel with a clip from his 2009 interview with Al Jazeera during today's Defense Secretary confirmation hearing.
The Secretary of Defense nominee can be heard agreeing with a caller's assertion that the United States is the "world's bully."

I’m impressed.
Looks as if the GOP does have a “bench” after all...
All y’all can thank me because I voted for him twice!
>>Each of them is unafraid to confront the left,
This, and the ability to go around the media, is my primary decision point for conservative candidates. It is why I was for Cain, and then Newt, in the Presidential primary. No one else came close.
Thanks micmac!
Are you new to following politics? That’s okay - - stick around here and you’ll learn plenty. Sarah Palin’s endorsement of Cruz launched him past the establishment favorite, Dewhurst. Had you been following the race back then, you wouldn’t even question that.
FRegards, and have fun learning and growing,

Hmmmmm ....
I wonder if Sarah Palin owns a black flag ...
Hagel is a handsome dolt. He tried to be a Republican, but he wasn’t smart enough.
“Ted Cruz carved up Hagel like a Thanksgiving turkey..
Agreed 100%. But I must admit that as an Iowan, I never knew about Hagel and his foibles.
“Cruz speaks. Were going to need people who are good at what dems are good at- communicating their points.”
My most vivid memory of last year’s RBC in Tampa was Ted Cruz’s speech. He did it without notes and without a podium or teleprompter.
I remember thinking “My God, this guy is destined for bigger and better things”.
Cruz is quite impressive....
I just watched Senator Cruz tear Hagel a new one during the first round of questioning! I’m watching the replay on C-SPAN.
He played both tapes.
WOW!
The man has True Grit.
Ted Cruz is just amazing. if I lived in Texas I would have voted for this man. What we need as a GOP are more Ted Cruz types running for office..he said everything that needed to be said and then some..as my cousin would say..Cruz tore Hagel a new one..Hagel won’t be able to sit for a month
He’s fabulous!
Yep. Well, Missy, if things go badly, you might end up in Texas, when I come get you along with my grandchildren! Then again, we might get to vote for Cruz for president one day!
C-SPAN is replaying the hearing now and I am watching.
A Palin/Cruz ticket..or vise versa..right now that is my dream ticket..I would love to move to Texas one day..Texas is one of the states I would love to live in..I am watching the replay now too Hagel looked like he was going to take a dump right there..trust me I know that look LOL
Oh yes, that would be a DREAM ticket. He’s wonderful and she really helped him win that primary! I think you’d really like Texas! I love Ft. Worth!
ROTFL @ you know that look!
I remember when Sarah endorsed Cruz..she got some flack from some people saying she should have endorsed the other guy..looks like she was right...again!! Yeah I know there are some liberal parts of Texas that I need to stay away from(like Austin) but maybe San Antonio might be nice..but I will never become a Spurs fan thats where I draw the line LOL
