Sen. Ted Cruz responds to criticism from his presidential primary opponent Sen. Marco Rubio and his Super PAC on Thursday night's edition of FOX News' Kelly File.
MEGYN KELLY, FOX NEWS: ....
SEN. TED CRUZ: Right. Well, look. These attacks are silliness. You're right that Marco Rubio's Super PAC is spending $200,000 running attack ads directed at me. And these attack ads, they're suggesting that I, alone with Senator Mike Lee and Tim Scott and Chuck Grassley and the National Rifle Association, and somehow conservatives in the House and Senate were responsible for the Paris terrorist attack. And it's just silly. And I got to tell you, Megyn, you know Mark Levin, a couple of days ago wrote a great column on Conservative Review, where he said that Rubio is lying and that he is following Alinskyite attacks just like Barack Obama.
KELLY: I asked Rubio about that, just yesterday. But what about that, it's that the 18 months versus the five years. And did we compromise our security by getting rid of that NSA surveillance program?
CRUZ: We didn't in any way shape or form. What the USA Freedom Act did was two things; number one, it ended the federal governments, bulk collection of metadata of law abiding citizens of your and my phone records, but number two, critically, it expanded our ability to target terrorist phones. And that's what Senator Rubio and the Super PAC are lying about. It dramatically expanded the scope. It used to be, it was a relatively small slice of phone records that could be searched. Now you could search virtually every phone record. That makes law enforcement better able to target terrorist, and Rubio knows that.
