Highlights Cruz’s challenge to President Obama to debate the Administration’s Syrian refugee plan

HOUSTON, Texas — Today, the Cruz for President campaign released a video highlighting Presidential candidate Ted Cruz’s challenge to President Obama for a debate on the Administration’s proposed plan to admit tens of thousands of Syrian Muslim refugees, who FBI Director James Comey acknowledged cannot be properly vetted, to the United States.

The challenge comes in response to President Obama referring to Cruz and millions of Americans who oppose the Administration’s plan as “offensive” and “un-American.”

Let's Debate, Mr. President. (video)

In the video, Cruz responds:

“Mr. President. If you want to insult me, you can do it overseas, you can do it in Turkey, you can do it in foreign countries, but I would encourage you, Mr. President, come back and insult me to my face.

“Let’s have a debate on Syrian refugees right now, we can do it anywhere you want.”

Ted did the right thing by calling out the pussy to put up or shut up.

“Okay, let me explain it to you. When the president of the United States uses an international bully pulpit to criticize his political “enemies” at home, instead of dealing with the world’s enemies (and USA enemies), and constantly puts up straw men for his non-action which has caused the crisis at hand, it is time to challenge the playground bully to see if he can “handle the truth”. You hear what I’m sayin’! “

Amen.

I agree. It comes across looking like a stunt.

I suspicion you know better and that you are backing a candidate that is the epitome of 'stunt'

Commies/socialists/marxists hate to be laughed at, ridiculed, etc. Ted Cruz is calling out this vile, halfrican in our White House and he is doing so because he CAN. Ted Cruz and Donald Trump have courage and they're good at what they do. And every time they challenge Obozo, they show him up. And you know how Bammy hates to be questioned, challenged, ridiculed! Keep it up, gentlemen.

Trump supporters should love stunts. Your candidate is all stunt.

Cruz knows Barry will not go for this. He is however calling him out while he uses the bully pulpit to say whatever he wants, and then hides behind it.
