During a rally Thursday protesting the Iran deal not including the release of four imprisoned Americans, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, was met with boisterous protests from the anti-war group Code Pink. Instead of ignoring the protesters, he debated them.

After noting the approval of the deal through the U.N. Security Council, Code Pink cofounder Medea Benjamin asked Cruz why he though he knew better than the countries that approved the deal, arguing that he was pushing the country closer to war. Cruz responded, charging that the Ayatollah Khamenei has admitted that the country is producing nuclear weapons.

Cruz went on: "You did not respond to the irrefutable point that this deal would send over $100 billion dollars to Iran and those billions of dollars will be used to murder Americans by jihadists." Pointing to the protestors signs that read "Peace with Iran," the Texas senator retorted that the Islamic regime does not reciprocate those views.

The 2016 Republican Presidential candidate added that in the midst the negotiation, the Ayatollah Khamenei was leading Iranians in chanting "death to America."

"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Are you Cruzin’ to WIN or Not Cruzin’ to lose?..

[GilGil]

Cruz is now Trump-like understanding that taking on the press and confronting the critics gets ratings and free publicity.

Despite the government lie that we are not at war with Islam - they sure as hell are at war with us. In other words, we've surrendered but they keep fighting-

Code Pink aided and abetted the enemy, provided monetary aid to the enemy.

[PghBaldy]

You are right. They literally gave money to the enemy.

[Sequoyah101]

Ted is trying to reason with fools. Can’t be done.

[vickersvimy]

Ted Cruz is going to be a great President if picked. Way more backbone at least.

[Red Steel]

Free marketing. Living for free in media pinheads.

It’s becoming contagious. Thanks be to God!

[RKBA Democrat]

What I don’t get is why our side has been so incredibly deferential to this lowlife scum.

[cripplecreek]

Typical Ted.

I love it.

"It’s becoming contagious. Thanks be to God!"

Ted hasn't changed.

[RKBA Democrat]

He hasn’t changed, but he has become more...assertive and vocal. Trump has given all the candidates room to take some swings. So far only Ted has really taken advantage. To his credit.

[Maris Crane]

By golly, I love this man.

Again, if he is not on the ballot, I write in his name.

[z taxman]

Trump or slump

[CatherineofAragon]

Right on, sister

“Ted Cruz is going to be a great President if picked.”

Picked? That would be Jeb. Just like Papa and Baby Bush,
Half dead Dole, McTard, and Romniroid. Reagan taught them
the lesson to never let a conservative on the ballot unless
you actually want to win by a landslide. Do the republicans
act like winners? No. They act like spineless liberals because
that is what they are.

I must tell you that in my humble opinion, you were the very best of Henry’s wives.
